Seen a black yote in the backyard early this morning...

Been several black yotes seen around here the past couple years.

Buddy trapped this one a couple years ago.

The first yote I ever saw in the wild years ago was solid black. I asked a biologist about it and he says they can be from white to black but mostly they are the usual buff color.

There is a lot of them here, we hear them howling all the time, but rarely ever see them.

I don't think they like the sound of bullets flying over their head?  :dunno:

They killed our 2 ducks right in our yard one day.

Another time we were fishing at our pond and one stuck his head out of the tall grass.

Our 2 labs went absolutely crazy kill mode when they seen him.

He decided to leave...

Sounds good Mike either one. 30s is good 50 is ok. This would be my first recurve build from a blank. As you know I'm a longbow hybrid guy but recurve has always been on my mind too. JF

Bought a new (to me) bandsaw today. It's a 12" Walker-Turner Driver Line unit, from somewhere back before WWII. There should be a model number on it somewhere but I haven't found it yet. Runs smooth and cuts a dead straight line along the fence so it should work well for roughing out lams from larger stock. Came with a fair number of spare blades in a variety of widths and tooth counts.

Me too, they have more character. With the heavy castings and all the steel it should survive a nuclear war. My kids will be running this thing long after I am gone. It has either been well cared for or someone restored it along the way. The last owner put new tires on and everything is in great shape.

The name plate would be on the base, but yours doesn't have the original base.
Nice machine :thumbsup:

Saved an old chisel plow from the scrap heap. Hopefully give it a test run behind the four wheeler tomorrow.

I made my first knife sheath. I have a Puma Rattler that never had a proper sheath. It’s a great little knife, really good in tight places and it’s about time that it had a sheath that fits.

I’ve been slowly learning to do leather work. It’s fun, but I need to improve my stitching.

 :thumbsup:  Nice! I like a horizontal knife sheath. More comfortable to wear and keeps the knife out of the way til needed.
