Father Time, Mother Earth

Happens to the best of us. One day, it just isn't worth chewing thru the straps anymore. For me, that happened a year or so ago. We can run, but we can't hide.

I'm 64, got some health issues, and for the last year or so, just hunt w/ rifle off the hateful 4 whlr when there's snow in Arkansas.

The other 362 days a year, I think about life, lol. Don't get me wrong, I still offhand some and bench shoot.

The main purpose for this whole diatribe is the knife and hatchet I 'won' w/ Da Grizz.

Truth be told, I don't need them and don't want to see them end up in an Ar pawn shop.

Having cleared this w/ Da Grizz, I want to pass them on here. A place I got so much from, made too many friends to count, and, just spent a bunch of quality time.

See them 'stay in the game', so to speak. I love puns.

I'm leaning toward pm bids, $ to go to a charity. Other suggestions welcome via pm or post. Help me find them a real home..................

You could donate them to the Michigan Crossbow Federation and here's why.

Laura Scharich is making the org into a non-profit. It is very costly and there is lots of red tape. They help underprivileged kids and handicap hunters. These are people who would never otherwise see the wonderful things you and I have taken for granted for so many years. Just a thought.....

I'm sure Laura could raffle the set and use the money toward something special.

Dan and I discussed the idea he has about his knife and hatchet set. I think he is doing the right thing by having it go to a member of this forum. It would be nice for somebody who would use it and appreciate them

A big thumbs up to Awshucks!

Sorry Dan, no kiss . . .I've seen pictures.

Nice try.

I like the idea of letting Laura have them too. Very nice of you Dan!

Mike P lives on?? Don't you have grass to mow on some free lot in Alabama?


Thanks for the input all.

Very thoughtful thing to do Awshucks, wish you the best of luck!!

Well, this has taken a strange turn I didn't see coming. The goodies are gone, and I've been asked to keep it confidential.

Thanks all for the ideas and pm's.

This is a very generous and thoughtful thing to do! Both the knife and the hatchet are beautiful, but personally, I would like to show up at camp with that hatchet! Didn't know you made those too. Inspiring!
