on the horizon

whats this another bow in the making?watch this space....

grimbo magic

How many of you have seen films where natives enter a certain woodland or jungle and are terrified,they look around and there are skulls and weird things hanging from the trees?Or they wont go across a stretch of land because its cursed?You know what i mean...Any way id though i would hang a few pieces around my camp area..my own keep out signs to the native vandals, and stray dog walkers whom may happen to get lost off the beaten track..Now i can sit in my shelter listen to the screams of"ah its grimbo magic,this place is cursed"..Of course if that fails zeus will no doubt make them think twice..

trail snares

Often you may hit a part of woodland that is a mini highway,used only for travelling through by game.The use of deadfalls and baited snares here are usually non productive,i find the best traps/snares are ones put along the trails...A natural channeling point is good,or you can channel the animal your self using natural materials..Often there may not be anywhere to secure a good noose,so using the fork stick method is always a good idea...Try to use a natural fallen piece rather than cutting one,one it saves on the enviroment, and animals will smell the fresh sap that has been cut and will aviod the trail...
