Cross Plains, TX Get-Together-2
« on: June 27, 2011, 03:09:45 pm »
Would like to invite the north/central Texas folks (actually anybody who wants to come :)) to another Cross Plains get-together July 8-10.  Again, this will be at our deer lease where the conditions are rustic but the fellowship is good.  We have 4 feeders going for hogs and if the wind is right there are 2 archery tree stand setups along with 2 portable pop-up blinds.  (I normally use a rifle on the pigs as I REALLY like wild pork. 8) but I will bring bows this time.)  The lease received an inch of rain last week which normally gets the hogs moving so hopefully we'll see more this time. Last time we primarily knapped, but perhaps this time we'll do some stump or distance shooting as well.  If anybody wants to work on a bow I would be happy to provide assistance.  We split the food and I saved a large roast from last time's boar to cook in the dutch oven for Saturday afternoon.  I should arrive at the lease about 6pm on Friday, July 8th and we'll finish up sometime after lunch on Sunday the 10th.  There is a flat area to pitch tents and the landowner has worked to kill the fire ants out of that spot.  Again, there's a shed with 2 bunk bed sets in it but it is a deer camp so the Hilton it aint.

Respond if you plan to come.  Thanks.

I've got a chainsaw I haven't used in a while...I hope it still runs good.  I want to get as much juniper as possible before deer season! ;D

Too bad, it won't be the same without you.  Sterling is trying to make it.  Tell Diego that I'll hold out for a neck shot this time.  If the wind is good I'm gonna try with the selfbow and one of my stone points.  Once it gets dark, the NV comes out.

Lee, I posted a mock-up of an Anasazi style bow a while ago.  I used thread instead of sinew.  I've got several juniper staves that are fully dry just waiting to be converted into this type of bow...with real sinew this time.

Just a reminder to bring this to the front.  Dallas and surrounding area Primitive Archer folks, we're headed out to the deer lease near Cross Plains, TX this coming weekend for some bow shooting, flint knapping and hog hunting.  I plan to arrive around 5pm this Friday, the 8th and leave after lunch on Sunday.   Come join us if you can.  I know Patrick plans on getting a bunch of juniper staves this time as well.  I'm going to haft some flint points on my primitive arrows and try at least 1 sit for hogs with the self bow.  Will also have the night vision equipped rifle if you'd like to try that.

Would love to see y'all there.  PM me for directions if you're able to come.
