Hey, man, be sure to get to a churrascaria (Brazilian steak house) where they just keep bringing all those different kinds of meat around as long as you can possibly eat any more.    :D   Where are you located in Brazil?  I love the country and have been there three different times at Manaus, Natal, Joao Pessoa, and Fortaleza.  Not much there to hunt the best I could learn.

Welll...I ate at one of those Brazilian Steak House's. Well.....I am stuffed! They never stop bringing more sticks of beef,chicken, pork, cheese!

KellyG
Would love to take a Ipe stave home for you, but I don't think I can fit it into my carryon!

Even though my TG name is Onions, (which I do work with a lot) most of my time is now spent with pickling cucumbers. It's harvest season down here, so we are evaluating all our new varieties.
Be home on Sat. Hopefully back to the woods Monday morning!!!

When I was about 14 I picked cucumbers in London, KY to purchase my first shotgun.  I learned quick that the big ole cucumbers, that fill the bag up quick aren't near as valuable as the little ones.  I probably spent a week in that patch raising $50 for the little Brazilian-made 20 gauge side by side.  Being left-eye dominant and right-handed, I couldn't hit a thing with that little gun!

By the way, my grandma told me to watch for copperhead snakes when picking cucumbers. She told me you could tell when one was near because they smell like cucumbers!  No kidding...I couldn't believe it.

Bowwild,
I was told the same from my grandmother. I did not believe it until I was picking blue berries once on one of my aunt and unckls place. My cousin and were picking as many berries as we could. I thought to my self man fresh ccucumbers would be good. Then I realized I smelled them, and ask my cousin to tell me what he smelled and said cucumbers why. I never saw the snake but did not hang out in that patch and look either.

onion,
It could fit you just a have to pretend it was one those callapable handles and tape it to your bag.  :)

Yes this sign means that there are animals arround (look at the trees behind you).

In Brazil is forbidden to hunt anything. Don`t matter if it`s bow, spear, guns etc

I have to live with this, no choice.
