Crazy how fast time goes by. He was a baby yesterday, wasn't he? I can still see him sitting in that tiny plastic tub at pappys taking a bath and making motor boat sounds!

Did a little walk'n and stomp'n hunting this morning ....no dogs (other than my buddy  :)). Brought back some great memories I had with my dad.  Thanks to my total knee surgery I might not have to wait 20 years to do this again....Got lucky and got a double on quail.....

That looks like a good way to spend the day with your dad Bill.  Glad to hear your knee is all healed up.

Tonight I proved once again that full length truck beds are unnecessary   ;D

Around my area Clint, they would pill you over and make you stack them from the top of the cab to the tailgate. But that's how I would have done it!

My friend Darin came over today with a bundle of bamboo and wanted to learn how to work it down to makes bamboo backed bows. He has made a number of stave bows and wanted to branch out to something else.

He is a quick learner and always nice to have in my shop.



Almost ready to back a bow.

Thanks Eric you've been a great help in all my bow making as well as a good friend. Your willingness to pass it on to others is really appreciated, even when your not looking over my shoulder the GIZMO is still helping my untrained eye to see what needs to be done for proper tiller to be achieved. Thanks again.

Got a little time today to get out in the woods. Done a little squirrel hunting. I've loved this since I was a kid, it's not primitive but it's fun. Didn't fire one shot, at a tree rat that is. Season comes to a close in another week. Hope to get back out and get a few. I've got 7 or 8 in the freezer with about a dozen hides. I'm going to try to make some rawhide strings and maybe add the squirrels to the smoker at mojam this year.

You are absolutely right! I'm wanting a Kentucky squirrel rifle in 32 caliber for that very reason. But for now the Ole 22 will have to work!  :laugh:
