Atlatl dart haul
« on: December 18, 2018, 08:42:00 pm »
I finally made the trip to a big river cane patch today.  I brought home more than 2 dozen shafts.  I pulled a couple smaller ones out of the ground and transplanted them in my yard for the winter.  If they are alive in the spring I'm moving them to the a field at work. 



I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Nice haul Clint!

Hawk,  if you are interested in some river cane I might just be able to fix you up at mojam.

Patrick,
That is an offer I can't refuse!  Maybe some in both arrow size and atlatl size!  Looking forward to MoJam, hopefully a bit less heat and not all the rain at once!  I will probably have another bow in progress by that time as well.

Sounds good BJ.  My first one there will be cast towards the guy who ripped me off on an atlatl trade last year at Marshall.

Maybe leave nasty deposits in his mess kit would be more legal, Clint!  Of course, accidental misdirected casts are hard to prove as hostile!

Didn't hear about that. Sure is a shame that someone ripped you off Clint. Can't think of anybody who's been more generous and put more into a good trade than you. I know a few others come pretty close, but you are on the top of my list for good traders. I really like trading with ksnow to. We just seem to like the same stuff.

Nice haul Clint, just be careful where you plant, it will take over if not careful and keep a good eye on it.

Good haul and like pappy said, it will spread. I had to soak all of mine in Roundup to get rid of it. I got a call from Dick Bernier the other day, some of y'all will remember him from the old days. He said he was going to start shipping me about a pick up load of cane after Christmas.
