I've got some things to trade; black bear claws in exchange for Osage stave

[Puma]

I'm wanting an osage stave

I've got bear claws (individual) not whole paw
Soon I'll have the jawbone cooked out and I'll part with one
Other stuff too. What do I need to trade for an Osage stave?

[Puma]

Oh, I got a nice blacksnake skin in the freezer too.

Check your state regulations before completion of this trade, offer may not be legal where you live. 

I'd bring a double armload of osage staves to hunt black bear spot and stalk style!

JW, what exactly, once you spot that bear, are you gonna do with that double armload of osage staves?

[JW_Halverson]

I'd commence to whuppin' on him with one of them.  And if it broke, I'd have a spare.  And another, and another.  I figure this way I got a fair chance of filling my bear tag.  Have you ever seen me shoot a bow?  Yup, better luck with the staves as whuppin sticks.

Now, Jw, that whoopin stick I sent you.... wouldnt do the job on a bear. Just a disclaimer.... legal purposes and all....
