Well we are going on a knife hunt...does that count?
Hey, Guys and Gals, with Fall and cooler wheather setting in, I was wondering if any of ya'll have started camping or hunting, yet? Please let us know, with pictures, if you can. I am hoping to get in the woods as soon as I can. Good luck, with any adventures you may have.

Knife & Tomahawk Throwing Competition History
I tried to copy the video here but it would not come up. There is a series of them including how to become involved in knife throwing

I'm going to give you a little history on mountain man style of knife and tomahawk throwing and how it started. The way it got started was back in the old rendezvous days and between 1824 and 1840 when the fur trappers were in the Rocky Mountains trapping furs they were waiting for a supply wagon. And they called them rendezvous' and the trappers traders would bring supplies to the trappers, and meet them at a certain rendezvous point every year, and so friendly competition got started while they were waiting. The competition now days is started by people that like to meet together and throw together, but it's a good family sport. You can do it in your backyard, every member of your family can throw from three years old up to eighty or ninety years old. It's a good place to learn about history, it's a good place to meet new people. And a lot of times at these competitions it's like a reunion, because some of these people you only see once or twice a year. It's a good sport to get into, doesn't cost a lot of money. And if you like history and to re-enact and to dress up like a mountain man it's something good to get into that I think everybody would enjoy.

Thanks Guys, we have some more pictures of the gators. I'll just have to get the girls to help me put them on here. Donald, we buy crabs to, when we don't get to go catch them. We all love them, a crab boil is a lot of fun.
Nice pics, Robert.
Thanks for posting .. now I'm hungry.

Nice catch! Ive been working so much I havent had much time to catch any dinner. Luckily for me there are a few dozen boys going out everyday and bringing in blue crabs. i think Ill be buying some come the weekend.
Oh, we love crabs. We boil crawfish early in the year and crabs later on. Then shirmp all the time. It's tough being a Cajun, lol.
Amazing how much it looks like home to me Robert. Darn, now I want to get some crabs
