Found Stuff

[Wudstix]

While cleaning up my bow area in the garage I found several envelops.  One from John McDonald with an extra string for my Big River recurve.  Another from Jim Reynolds with two strings for his MOAB.  Finally, one from a custom string maker I had forgotten I bought (57 1/2") for the Big River recurve.  It's not even Easter yet!!!

The string on the MOAB was past needing replacement, so I did.  It braced at 7 1/2", but after an hour or so, and drawing it about 20 times it was at 6 3/8-1/2.  Perfect.

It's great when you find stuff you forgot you bought or received,  I seem to come across knives I forgot I had, always a great feeling.

My best find was a dozen tapered and footed arrows that were 29 1/2" long, just right.  Mounted some Snuffer heads and tested one, went hunting!

While searching for a Bear side plate for my new bow this afternoon I found a box with 3 or so dozen broadheads I forgot about. Remember those that used razor blades? Ya, I got a few from ?

Almost as great as when I found the 1/2 dozen first run Grizzly Instinct heads that I thought had been traded away!!!

Going through a box in garage throwing out stuff and found the last hunting license I had in PA, circa 1976.  And my fishing license button.  Along with a couple boxes of 16 gauge dove loads and a box of .30 Remington rifle ammo.(hasn't been chambered since @1985)  Neat stuff.

Good problems to have! I like when I find stuff I actually need, too.

Yup, always a bonus.  Sometimes it's a walk down memory lane, too.  Still have the rifle that shots that .30 Rem.  Was my Grandfathers.

Wow, found a photocopy of a property map that my Grandfather was caretaker for after he retired.  It was owned by several Dr's who vacationed there.  My Grandmother designed the cottages and cabins they lived in and my Grandfather build them when he was still working as a carpenter/plumber/mason/electrician, jack of all trades.  It is several hundred acres in Northeast PA.  Wondered those woods roads/jeep trails many years hunting there.  Fished the lake for pickerel, perch, catfish.  The property has been through several owners over the years, including a Nature Conservancy and is now State Game Land.  We knew it as Hilltop, but it is now Pond Lilly (Lilly Pond) state land, Pike County, Milford PA.  Wow, spent allot of years in those woods hunting deer, bear, turkey and grouse.
