I'm trying to knap some points.I wouldn't use them,just put them on some cane and fletch them with crow feathers.Just hang them in my room for looks.

Rock, I am in the learning process and have maybe three heads that I am going to mount on cane shafts for this year.  Hopefully I will get better in time

Hey Doc,

What type of stone was that head knapped from? That had to be an awesome experiance to take an animal like that with a stone head. I hope to do some hunting this fall with stone heads myself.
Thanks - John

Stone or metal barbed heads are not legal in Ohio. Check your laws in Ga.!!!!

AND GOOD HUNTING!
