Paul fell out of a tree once and landed on his feet. He used to be over four feet tall before that incident.
If you go to the "Old Timer" thread (on page 40 or thereabouts on this site), you'll see a photo of me and Too Short with a big bear I shot many years ago on an elk hunt. The photo is proof positive that the Dwarf is the exact same size as my arrows....

Gene told a story at the PBS gethering in Salt lake. Tells of the time 2Short was huntin' Pronghorn on the flats of Wyoming. He was walking up on a nice buck when the buck spotted him. It was a staredown for several minutes then the goat got down on his knees to look eye to eye with the dwarf. Quick as a wink 2Short launched a shaft and anchored that buck before he could get up from his kneeling position.  Believe it or not.

Oh no! You guys are picking on poor Mr. Brunner again? A man of his caliber deserves better than that! Paul is welcome in my camp any day, and we still have fond memories of his visit last year.

 

What a great day that was!

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.

Rocky...page 37 of the "Old Duffers" thread. Proof positive. The Dwarf is the exact same height as the length of my arrows....

Normally I'd stay out of this one...but... Back in the good ol' days Schaf and I used to take turns lifting Brunner up and out of my truck on our elk hunting trips. Oh, by the way my truck was a lil' chevy s-10. God bless the lil' guy...he used to have to sprint just to keep up with us. His strides were very small...

In defense of Paul, with his well known superstitions, he has to put in twice as many tree steps because he feels he just can't climb down on the same steps he climbed up on.  So he climbs up on 9 and down on a different 8, then makes the last two foot jump at his own peril.

And Gene, it's a well know fact that you exceed the weight limit on any commercially made tree steps, so you use individual tree stands as steps.  When you finally get to where you want to perch, the tree looks like the tower of Babble.

And Biggie will confirm this.
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Too Short doesn't ever run....he "scurries." The only reason he is not over weight is that he has to take three steps for every one of normal men.
