Someone's been hunting on our place... (a poem)
« on: February 13, 2015, 06:49:00 PM »
Someone's been hunting on our place,
but the ash of their fire's gone cold.

Blood red in the East,
pierced heart of the Beast;

Someone's still hunting on our place,
not forgotten the ways of the old.

Cool......

Very cool Chase!  I keep looking but have never found anything like that.

Really cool, just knowing you are walking/hunting where men once hunted gives a person a sense of being part of history. Finding an artifact just reinforces that feeling.

Very cool.  Call me crazy but the thrill of finding an artifact like that, holding in my hand and realizing it's possible age and it's likely purpose is every bit as great as the thrill of killing a deer myself.

Great find! Cool poem!  I once found a complete obsidian arrowhead above the Crooked River.  It was one of the most spiritual moments of my life.

I like that, as a history teacher, it would be cool to show my kids in class!

Way cool!  We share hunting spots with many hunters from the past, but finding evidence in the process is truly "spiritual".

Thanks everyone!  I've found several pieces of varying size and utility in a little field that is our fall food plot; evidently we plow along the edge of an old campsite.  Thursday afternoon was an especially beautiful day, so I took my bow and a judo point to shoot a bit after I fed the cattle.
