so after a pep talk with John, i learned that he had once bowhunted Africa with Rich Wormington, owner of Yellowstone longbows. now i had been hunting with my Stalker and leaving my longbow in camp but with the missed opportunity John mentioned that in hunting with someone that had hunted with my bowmaker, it was bad juju not to be toting the longbow. works for me, i love shooting both.
speaking of longbows, Jim im going to try to call ya this next week sometime and order one of yours.
anyway, i had hiked all over creation looking at scenery. the terrain was weird. like being in river rock every step up or down.
i ended up one evening sitting an area that had a feeder nearby and a water hole as well. talk about a double whammy! someone had made a little natural blind along side a tank, and i was checking it out. sitting in it, i couldn't help but smell the STRONG smell of marijuana! oh great, some cat was in here smoking the reefer before i got here. i looked for buds on the ground but to no avail. the smell remained quite strong though and finally in leaning and looking i discovered that the yellow flowers on the plant that made the blind were the cause. it was like being at a concert!! kind of funny. ive never smoked it, but these leaves were hard and sharp like throwing stars, and had 7 or 8 points. not like any marijuana ive ever heard of. but it REALLY smelled like it.
