Saturday morning I met up with Jon(straightarrow) and Bill(hickorybill) and a relative of jons and another buddy of his at 8 in the morning. We went out too a club and shot a haybale/cardboard picture course,and also had a couple friendly shooting contests. Went back to the pavilion n Jon grilled us up some deer burgers....mmmm. Then we played around with the atlatl and shooting various moving targets,some cds thrown in the air,and some round pieces of Styrofoam thrown n rolled along the ground. Jon frickin hit the Styrofoam ones with the atlatl a few times....dang ..that s not an easy feat for those of you who have thrown them before and know how hard it is. We were having toooooo much fun to pull out a camera and take pics so sorry no pics of all those activities.

After we left the club just Jon,Bill,and I started to go and knock on doors with some Osage on there property. We were driving slow and another car was behind me tailing me and I look in the mirror and the guy is taking my license plate number down. I stop and go to wave him around cause I wanna talk to this guy cus I don't like that one bit.

Well he starts to turn around and tries to avoid me so I jumped out and yelled HEY stop...and I went up to his vehicle asking him why the heck was he writing my plate number down. He said some people stole a bunch of stuff from his garage/shop and we were driving slowly(in my van) and thought we looked suspicious. Well I told him I didn't appreciate him writing my plate # down. Meanwhile Jon n Bill are in the van thinking im about to knock this dude out. I told him why we were driving slow,and he says oh yeah,I make bows for my kids n grandkids...lol

As always its never easy cutting that yeller wood in its thickets. First cut my saw gets stuck

got that out,but then on the second tree my fricking chain come flying off the bar
![Shocked :o](http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
I said a choice word cus that scared the you know what out of me. I had to fix the kinked up chain and while doing so gashed my thumb wide open on a tooth. Yes I had gloves on.
So after cutting it down and getting them over and split up this is what we came up with.

I think we all slept good. I know I did.
The only bad part of the day was coming home to my dead cat laying on the basement floor of which she spent almost 22 years with me
