5] Neal (aka Patches) gave NoNose the arrows he had made for him.  3 primitive two fletches with knapped points, 9 triple bladed broad heads, and 3 field point arrows.

6]I presented NoNose with the large hand drum I made for him.  My nephew RJ hand painted the eagle petragliph design on the drum face with leather dye.

Then Patrick presented NoNose with a Damascus steel skinning knife and sheath with a KingWood handle custom made by Devon, who could not make it up the MOJAM this year.

7] Somehow a spontaneous hug-fest broke out after that.  It must be a Marine thing...  8) ;) 

8]  ...and then we got a group shot of all the guys there that were involved with making all these things for NoNose.

osage outlaw:

Another awesome mojam in the books!
This event has become very dear to my heart. I is something that I can bring my family to and they can enjoy meeting and getting to know the rest of my family.
I want to say a big thanks to the Marshall bow hunters for putting on mojam!
And another huge thank you to the guy's I camped with this year.
I got overly tied up down at the pavilion trying to help everyone I could and finishing up my trade bow. You guys stepped in and helped my wife and took care of camp.  I don't know how to make it up to you guys but you know I will somehow.
Well we had a few mojammers not show up this year and they were missed.  But we had some new faces to help fill the voids. There was even a family that came all the way from Denmark.

There was a lot of bows being built this year.  At least 4 of them was first time bow builder's. They was from all different age groups to.  One of my friends is in his 70's and I think the youngest first bow was my niece at 9 years old.
There was a lot of gifts given and received by several people.  Several trade bows were hand delivered. And unfortunately I broke bowwoods(Chris) trade bow on my tiller tree.  I was sick to my stomach. Then he said,  I would rather have it break here than in my guys hand.  I gave him my brand new HHB stave I just got so he could get going on his trade bow.
A group of us honored our friend James (nonose) with an overwhelming set of gifts. He has always selflessly helped everyone.
And then there was the weather,  hot one day not to bad the next. Oh, and then there is the rain.  Giant mud holes everywhere,  it was so muddy at our camp that my wife went and got a few bales of straw. The guy's spread it all over the ground.
I will be posting several pictures later on.  I know I'm rambling but my mind is still racing with all the excitement and fatigue of,  MoJam.
