Who hunts with rocks?
« on: June 12, 2010, 04:03:00 PM »
Hey everyone, I want to see some photos of critters that fell victims to some arras tipped with rocks, lol. Been thinking about it for some time now, and I think I want to try and get some rabbits this season with them.  In MD we cant legally kill whitetails or bears with them, but everything else is fair game . . . so what have ya got . . . .???

I started knapping last year and made a head good enough to take a doe with this past season.  It gave me the same feeling I had when I shot my first deer 40 years ago.

A knapper friend of mine told me that I was now a member of a club that has very few members.

Go for it you , won't regret it.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Madam; you look like you're ready for battle & you've got your first prey.   :notworthy:  

I'll one day learn to knap my own heads  & give it a try, here in Virginia they are legal so I had better get on the ball before they decide to change that rule.

Let's see if I can remember how to do this.

   

   

     

Not points I made, but the thrill is still there. Good luck with your quest.
