 Hey just 'cause it's there,does'nt nessasarily mean it's going to waste,but on the other hand; Arrows are important !  Frank

Cane, like all other shoot shaft material, is a renewable resource it managed properly. Many shoots(culms in the case of cane) can be harvested each year without any noticeable depletion to the source. Nothing in nature goes to waste...except maybe humans.       Pat

That's too bad Dennis. I'm about ready to start some after dark quiet bowsaw covert operation's on the smaller trees that nobody's going to miss anyway .

  Here's a coupla pics of the river cane I came across. I know that it is indeed river cane cause it's growing right alongside the river .

Hey cowboy and TNALGA border folks, i'm from chattanooga and all, and i've found a couple of spots driving around doing lawn service, this stuff doesn't grow as tall as bamboo, and it's got a reddish brown color to it, I don't know a whole lot about the local flora, though i'm a native to here
I cut only a few pieces, it's not entirely straight either, I have yet to actually straighten any arrows i've cut O_o

[cowboy]

That's good to hear Hillbilly, after all the rivercain finding failed attempts I've been through I was sure hoping you would concur rather than it may be this or it looks like that . Actually Ridgerunner had already confirmed it for me, shew .
  Good for you Rick! Hope you got away with some good stuff .
  Post some pic's of what ya got humaza - somebody here will know what it is.

[humaza]

i'm trying to get accustomed to the forum, not sure if this pic is gonna load.

the stuff was all about 6 feet high, was a red with green undertone, now that it's dried it's a kind of pale green color.
