Whos The Man In The Photo?
« on: March 14, 2011, 05:26:00 PM »
I know but do you? Although he lived a short life by todays standards he sure as hell lived a good one. I plan on reliving some of his adventures minus shooting herons and ivory billed woodpeckers though Im sure it was fun back in the day.

Man, Ive been reading The Witchery Of Archery and I gotta say its a hell of a good book. I read that he was an amateur artist and drew sketches of some of the things he saw but I cant find if they were ever published. Ill bet he would have liked it if the invasive critters would have established themselves back then, pigs, iguanas, chupacabras and such.

Absolutely, a fine book. He shot a lot of critters just to study them. Pretty cool.
