So I've seen and heard of the Gar scale arrowhead. Our local Gar aren't the big alligaotor gars that I assume they are coming from. We get short nosed, spotted and long nosed Gar . . . which I don't shoot because they are cool hard fighting predators that are a blast to flyfish for. They are good to eat but they violate one of my cardinal cleaning rules. No hamer, chissel or sheet metal shears needed in cleaning unless meat returned is double digit. But mostly because they are a native predator that will help reduce Asian Carp numbers to some degree.
The local dam gets tons of dead carp of all kinds. There are TONS of those cheek bone plates with the razor edge just laying on the ground out there.
Can they be formed into an arrow point? It would be ironic to shoot a carp with a carp bone don't you think?
