Linc has done so much good around the trad community, that it would take pages to list it all. My hat is off to Linc as well.

Y'all are making me blush!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jim,Killie,Stone,Jawge and everyone. I still have lots of things to do but winter down time is coming up.(at least for outside work,LOL) I hope to get back to shooting,knapping and making a selfbow or two.

Jim, Enjoy your vacation. Breaks aren't the same with out you.

How in the heck did I miss this thread!!!

Linc was the first person I actually met through this site. We've been friends ever since. Since meeting him I've built selfbows, knapped points, made trade points, built knives.

I've made the hour and a half trek to Martville. Linc done the same to my house just to shoot bows or the breeze.

He's a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share it. I miss his build alongs.

I'm with Mike; Linc..... Is one of the best!!!!

Hey Buddy, How's the petting zoo? I have to get down there one of these days. Do you want some more goats? There are some on Craigslist. LOL.

You sure must like the bow I made you, since you had a tatoo of it put on your arm.LOL.

[LeeNY]

Petting zoo is growing, The goats on C-list are Jims.

I love that bow, I was out shooting it just last night. I even built some arrows for it with ABowyer trade points.

[jimmerc]

lincoln, there you are bud, vac is very enjoyable for save money kinda break, i'll have some storys to tell when i get back,have been spending alot of time chasing the grey ghosts of the trees with your old long bow, as of last nite the squirrels are 5 /i'm 0,hope to turn this around latter this am. want to get all my misses out of the way before i start chasing whitetails,lol  As you can see you are very missed around the campfire,lots of good people here,kinda makes me feel like when i was a kid,you can leave your doors open and coffie on and never know who will stop by for a cup!!

[Linc]

Jim,Those bushy tails aren't easy. Fast little buggers. Can't wait for the stories.

Lee, Glad you are still shooting that bow. No one thought it would make a bow let alone survive.LOL.

[LeeNY]

It's survived rather well and still shoots great.

I finally named it after my stepsister Dorothy they both have a lot in common!!!          

[Linc]

 Is that good or bad?  

[LeeNY]

  BOTH    

Now it's Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go!!

[Linc]

Hey Jim. What is the score now? Or didn't you get out to hunt after work?

[jimmerc]

linc, been going out every day, it stands now the grey ghoasts 10/jim 0, crafty little buggers plus i think they all have cell phones and let each other know when i'm coming,  had three shots monday eve at two different greys,missed as usual but got a piece of ear, its tuff when you restrick your self to head shots only and they have to be on the ground also!  I'll give them a rest tonite and try again tomarrow eve!!

[jimmerc]

OH , I forgot to say that i'm having the time of my life chasing these guys with long bow,plus i think it's good training for deer hunting as i can slip in to preadtor mode faster and slow down!  SPOT AND STALK SQUIRRELS!!  

[Linc]

Sounds like you are having a blast. I find squirrel huntin to be lots of fun. I haven't gotten one yet but I sure get a lot of laughs.Mostly them laughing at me.You think grays are hard, try hitting a chipmunk.
