That's a beauty Jon,Ya we had a good weekend,got a lot done around the shop and got some hunting is also. Seen some deer but no shots,maybe next time.

Seen my good buck again
Sunday morning but was just to early to be sure of a good shop,12 yards,if he keeps that up I may get another crack at him before it's over. I got another hide scraped and also got started on a special project I need to get done,Snakey Osage,Jon gave me the stave,it had some worm holes so I put some rawhide on it. Here are a few pictures of the fun.

We also got Jon one of the cleanest pieces of HHB laid out and roughted in,it should make a fine bow.

Pretty nice hide,not sure where it came from but had several holes,Woody showed up for the weekend and supplied supper,got to love that hat.

BigA also showed up Sat. morning,he is the President to be for the club this year,he has done that before in the early years and I know he will do a great job this time,He has some big shoes to fill,following King Ron.

I am going to step out on the limb and have to ask......what is a "gun stick" made out of cane?

Pappy · « **Reply #5590 on:** December 14, 2010, 09:15:16 am »

Don't have a picture but you tie the 2 together a few inches from the top then spread them apart
to make a V to rest the gun barrel in,I guess you would call them shooting sticks,they are light to carry around,these guy do a lot of squirrel hunting with a 22 and they use them for a rest,works really nice and cheap to boot.

Sure like seeing King Ron and a skinny looking Greg. Jon seems to be a very handy dude to have around. Makes me have a case of the "High Lonesomes" to see all the things going on at the farm! A/Ho Pokie
