It was a blast, and Woody is a great person to share a camp with! He even helped me with the dishes...well, he did 'em, actually!!!  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:    :campfire:

vermonster13, I'm not even going to mention Ray's incredible cooking.  If I breathed even a WORD about the tortellini or the filets or the lambchops, much less the cheeses and wine, there'd be a stampede!!!  (As if the great company, hunting, scenery and wildlife weren't enough!!!)

You folks who won the St Jude's auction for a hunt with Ray are in for the treat of a lifetime!!!  Good on all of you, and especially Ray!  Word up, my homie!  Mad props to you, my brutha of a diffrent mutha!

Awesome Fellas!  Would love to chase the piggies too someday also!

Beautiful pictures of some awesome skill, both yours and Mother Nature's, and very well written stories to boot!

Love this place!

Awesome is definitely the word. Great storytelling, photography,and everything! I've been interested in learning to knap and it was nice to see those heads in action. Thanks Woody and Ray, I really enjoyed it.

Hey you guys are right on about 'ol Woodrow.

I got an invite to his home and walked away with a bucket of rocks, tools and a days worth of teaching not to mention a new friend. He's a good guy and a true talent, as well as a patient teacher.

He gave me a knife blade he had finished but he didn't like the way it had come out.  :saywhat:  

Now I am not a knapper, more so a snapper, of rocks and a long way from having any talent or a "good eye" but I pull it out at least once a week just to marvel at it this "undesireable" blade will have a prominent place in my new den.

Thanks for the great read.

Man that's an awsome hunt,and sweet pics!Those are some really nice points.

Not really meaning to get off topic,but is that what they call Briar Creek or Allendale agate you guys found down there?

southernarcher, that's the material exactly.  Nice rock -- it's colorful and has a sharp, strong edge if it hasn't been overcooked.  I saw more of the chert than the agate, but there were flakes of both around.

SuperK, we need to get together again soon.  I'd sure like to try that new bow of yours!

Woody,
That's some great stuff.  I may need to get some of those points and knives in Alaska.
