Allen I was a pleasure to meet you at the sportsman's show.I have been busier than a one legged man....... working for my daughter and seeing a bunch of people I did'nt plan on,oh well. I would have liked to get over and visited.Maybe in the spring before your trip. I will hopefully get to the glass buttes knap-in at that time as well. I want to get to see keenan too. I will try for a primitive turkey when the washington season opens on april 15th.
My oldest son got in last night from fort lewis. He is mustering out of the army.Get to have breakfast with him this morning and tomorrow morning,my wife and I will drive to Bellingham to catch the ferry up to Juneau.
Got some geese while here.
Took pictures of turkeys over where I will be hunting in april
And.....picture of the sculptures of the lewis and clark camp on Patit creek,at Dayton,Wa.
Take care all. Frank

Sounds like you had a good time here in Washington. Glad we had a chance to meet at the TRAC. Hey, I hope you saved some of the wing feathers from the geese. They make excellent fleathings for our primitive arrows. I managed to collect a bunch this year from friends that hunt geese.
Allen.
Sparrow:
Got back to Juneau,Alaska this morning and had a nice snow storm hit, just as we stepped on the beach. Welcome Home !
Well Thank you Allen; I had a good time.I will make sure to get some fresh turkey primaries to you when we get those turkey's in april.
Will be back in Hoonah on friday and probably get to work on a bow.I have to send a few things south in the mail and organize a bunch of pictures I took from the trip south. Frank
Sparrow:
Been back to Hoonah for a few weeks now and gotta say I did not miss the deep snow all that much. It has snowed practically every day since our return and we had about 4 feet out on the flat,until today.Raining today,so now we got a great big pile of white slop. Roads out of the village are all closed for the season. Kinda keeps ya housebound. Had my friend Capt. Erickson over a couple of nights ago and fixed him fried pheasant and gravy,rice,oven roasted butternut squash and baby,whole greenbeans (Brought over from the Juneau,costco) We like to have busted a gut.He had never had pheasant before and now wants to go kill them all and eat them. Washed it down with fine,blended rotgut.
My wife just finished her projects,freeing up the living room,so I got out a hickory stave to start carving on. D bow in the works. I still have my B.L. bow working,but took it down south with me (Never worked on it ) and it dried out a bit so I've got it laying around getting used to the climate here again. I hope to have a good working bow ready to go south with me in april to hunt turkey's with.(Maybe two ! ) I will take some pictures of this chunk of hickory when it starts looking like a bow. I also got a little project going for a buddy down south and I still have not set a knife blade that Cowboy sent me, into a handle yet. I did cut some arrow shaft shoots while down south and have them to deal with.Plenty to do for the next 2 months so I reckon it don't matter what the weathers doing.
I heard at the post office today that some of the guys are catching winter king salmon out in front of town right now,so may have to go do a bit of trolling.(Them winter kings taste awfully good this time of year). Bar-b-cue grill has a couple of feet of Wet snow on it right now,I'd dig it out to cook a fresh fish though. Good winter to you. Frank
