Went turkey hunting with my new flintlock, heard one gobble about a mile away, once, didn't go after it as I was in an area of 100 ft shear cliffs with few passages to the creek bottom below. Saw 4 deer, found some super new places to deer hunt(public land), didn't hear another peep out any turkey all morning and I covered a lot of ground. Later in the morning I had a dozer working on one side of me and a large tractor bushhoging cut over on the other side of the area I was hunting, too noisy for any self respecting turkey to hang around I suspect.

Today I mowed grass

I shot my yew bow a bunch and finished off some boo arrows for her, gotta have a new set to lose/break at the Classic in a few weeks! Im a horrible shot nowadays.

Sprayed a Douglas fir shaft with gloss black auto paint to see how it'd look.  Turned out quite nicely so I glued on a nock, 190gn field point and three red shield-cut fletches.  Quite happy with how it all turned out so I might spray another five shafts and make a mini-set - I've got three cans of that spray paint

Spent four hours shoveling snow and counting the days until the Tennessee Classic!

Spent 3 hours at a Cabela's grand opening today.  All I bought was a Primitive Archer magazine.

It was 89 degrees here today so I mowed grass first, planted a pine tree, worked on patterning my fowler with #4 shot. I had a bore brush break off all the way in my barrel so I had to take my gun apart, pull the breech plug and knock the bore brush out, this ended my shooting session.

My friend Sammy called and said he had some turkey wings for me. We visited a while and I started processing the wings for sending to David Mitchell. There were 20 wings and 8 fans in the garbage bags. Some had been ridden around in someone's truck for several days and were a bit ripe, they were soaking wet as well. I don't cull anything, just put on my rubber gloves and go to work. Took a while to get the secondaries skinned off, primaries clipped and all raw flesh slathered in borax.

took a road trip with a pal to finalize the sale of my folks home. pops passed in '01, mother passed in '09. took me 3 years to even get it on the market. just couldnt deal with it. they bought that house when i was 4 yrs old. sorta sad to see the old family place leave the family. but also relieved to not be responsible for it anymore....visited some dear old friends while there. kirks an old bowyer, knapper, gunsmith, knife maker all around good fella. his wife gloria bakes the best cinnamon rolls ya ever sunk yr teeth into. came home with a bunch of cinnamon rolls, farm fresh eggs and the only three morels kirk has found so far(he absolutely would not let me refuse). now thats what i call friends....the blessings in this life always outweigh the curses

I finally got back in my shop last night after several days away from it, yuck. I proceeded to break a bow and started another before the dust settled.

Today Pearly sent me a text and said my bees wax was on the way. And his care package of a chunk of tanned black deer hide, a chunk of beaver hide for beaver balls, and a pair of buffalo horn tip overlays are heading his way. Trad guys are the bestest:)

With that set of ears you have, you would think you could get enough wax to do about anything you need it to.
