Whoo hoooo ;D ;D - good lookin points. I know It's almost a cardinal sin, but I'd just about rather knap and work on my bows than hunt this year :-X :-X :-X.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I don't knap, but know that it's an ability that only comes after many many hours of experience to be very good at it. Those look like really nice points to me! :)

Beautiful work,  I agree with cowboy, I think I would be better off working on some stuff rather than wasting all my time scaring off deer in the woods.
