That is really neat. A lot of patience represented there.

Beautiful. It must have been fun trying to get the human skull through customs.

There might be state laws regarding bones, but there is no Federal prohibition against owning human bones. So long as they are legally obtained.
Don't ask me how I know that. >:(

I got the skull in HONDOUS IN 1980 a year after I got out of school.. It's has the jaw molded in place with something. I got it from a witchdoc. he's painted like a family crest all over it to give it more power. He had at least a dozzen. He told me they were skulls his great granddady and granddady had killed. I mailed it to a friend in MEXICO he had a small plane and make trips into OK. I'm not saying what kind of trips he made. He mailed it to my mom. Me and 2 friends had hiked for 7 mouths and I'd forgot about it but when I got home it was there. Never gave it any thoughts about haveing it.
In the 21 years I've built and hunted with selfbows there's 1000's and 1000's of hours on the wall.

Hey Crooketarrow,
You can't kill a deer, especially a big deer, with a selfbow. Didn't anyone ever tell you that?
Great looking mounts.

NCLONGHUNTER , COOKETAROW was the name of a old but good friend thats dead now. He was 1/2 IROQOUIS.
We met one day I was hunting a WMA and had grunted up and shot a 8 piont and had pulled him 1/4 mile. Set down on him. Wishing I had my deer cart. I had 1/2 mile to go And was thinking about quarting him up. When he steped out from behind a big spruce tree 10 yards away.
He looked a my self bow I his we, were long lost friends by the time we made the truck. At least he was to me. I was amazzed when we got to the truck he was'nt even out of breath.
I 'd only been building selfbows not even 2 years. He was over 50 years of bow building. His bows were far more practial than mine. At the time I thought all bows were surpose to look like HOWARD HILL BOWS. Matter offact I had 2 HILL LONG BOWS left over from my recurve, long bow days.
He not only opened my eyes up to bows but to a whole new way of thinking and liveing. I'm sure I drove his wife crazy wakeing up to me seting in the front yard waiting on him to get up. And that was'nt a one time thing. We shared a few camp fires wish it had been a lot more. Wish I'd met him grownig up but glad I did meet him when I did.
I've only met 3 great men in my life CROOKETARROW and my granddad. I did met and shake hands with NICKON TWICE but not to great to many.
