most points are not from "tribes" as we know them in the recent past, it is suggested that along with the mega fauna a great human extinction also occurred... the clovis style points have been attributed to Solutreans peoples from what is now France, note: the oceans were much lower at that time depending on who you ask anywhere from 400-1200 feet lower than todays levels the melting of the great ice-sheets and the isostatic rebound and subductions, its seems a comet broke up and several struck the earth from the great lakes area of north american all the way to what is now Syria, its is thought most humans and larger animal went extinct starting 13k years ago to about 8k, it also seems the mayan empire which now they think was vast and had over 50 million people went belly up when a huge volcanic eruption caused global weather change (dark ages) later points are still pretty old 8k years or so still had giant bison and a stray giant sloth or two...tough times to make a living for sure that point in your hand may have killed a Bison antiquus or irish elk some really cool reading..., I also find it interesting the indian nations are so resistant to checking the DNA of remains, how ever it seems denisovan, DNA has show up in some western USA areas, tosses a real monkey wrench into things, boils down to land rights etc...we still know very little about the Olmecs

here is a good video from Luke Nichols ( famous YouTuber catfish and carp) one of our CAG members.

Brussels sprouts on a hair rig, bagel chunks is where I'd start

they will eat things not plant based but to my knowledge they will not eat Didymosphenia but once it breaks off and floats to the top possibly I know common carp feed in the upper water column when snots about, prob not good for just about anything grasses can get huge I have heard of a few over 70 in AR they catch them a lot in the urban lakes, but they stock them to keep down the weeds, they mow around the lakes and blow cuttings in the water and they feed on them, great place to float some bread

I never saw a grass carp on TR, sometimes people stock them in ponds, and we get wash ins not much for them to eat in TR, can't tell by the angle on size but grass carp get much bigger on avg than commons, 20# would be a fair guess

my buddy found sugar quarts points in NE Arkansas near the black river...

there are a few they get washed in, saw a few guys down-rigging on TR and they had a couple of 20#ers he told me that he also caught some monster trout that way too...like any good angler with a secret they don't share much...he wouldn't have fessed up if we hadn't see him land one...the guy I fished with had a small rigger we used in Canada and the guy noticed the mount

hunting points is a skill had a friend who taught me years ago, a guy who knows his stuff can walk behind someone new and fill his pockets, there are still plenty of good hunting areas, farm fields, creek gravel bars worn cattle/wildlife trails, any new construction sites, half the fun is scoping out an area and doing drive-bys till conditions are best for hunting them. if I remember correctly a few people got fined digging around TR when the water to so low a few years back, same at Stockton, buddy of mine found a dandy 4" knife point just laying on a rock fishing from a windy shore for whites. my best point found was a nice dalton big almost 3-1/2 inches many and I mean many heartbreakers that if whole would have been 6" or more easy my best artifact is an full groove ax Ill try and get a pic and post

I don't they had much of a chance, even with a black powder rifle it would have been tough

this is interesting on some of the food sources the megafauna used to eat, next time you see them on your outdoor adventure you won't look at them the same... https://www.americanforests.org/magazine/article/trees-that-miss-the-mammoths/

well said, perhaps trading in points? one person, who contributed to their group just by knapping, the great skill shown from hours and years in their craft I particularly like Folsum points never found one of those some interesting digs in west Oklahoma http://www.pbs.org/time-team/explore-the-sites/bones-badger-hole/

its interesting, I like many search for "arrowheads" but it would be better to call them atlatl points, bow use by Paleo Native peoples didn't start till 500ad or some 1400 years ago...its is theorized humans came to north america 40k - to as much as 130k years ago and hunted Proboscidea ( mammoths , mastodons and gomphothere) camels (Camelops) horse (yes that started here) giant ground sloths (Megalonyx) and giant bison (Bison latifrons, antiquus) it is theorized that smaller faster game that survived the great extinction event 12,900 years ago ( now thought to be a massive asteroid / comet strikes on the Laurentide ice sheet) facilitated the need for the bow or blowguns vs the atlatl (yes they used them in north america) what a place it must have been back then, holding a piece of art like that paints an awesome picture in your head of how it was used and the life those people lived back then...or the perils of saber tooth cats, short face bears, huge north American lions...it was truly an American Serengeti with a diversity of species that exceeded anything in Africa. You can find some megafauna fossils in our area...cool stuff to say the least https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/missouri-ice-age-cave-reveals-ancient-secrets/

be a hella brook if it was

ever do any clovis???

its a great idea, peppers will survive and the guy that keeps his prepping secret will make it, here is a documentary that opened my eyes

this might help What is a triploid May 13 2015.pdf

they are truly the top of the foodchain

MAGA BABY!!!!

meanwhile in Alaska...I like the way they made the bass look like a nasty freak!

one; he's not "my guy"...two; see through a cell call? data is data, like where and when you make the call, pretty simple no? as far as looking at you through the cell phone camera? if it is possible, its beyond anyone at the MDC's pay grade,

I never checked one, but a guy was busted for that, they take the temp of the deer in the eye, they can tell how long since it died, pretty accurate from what I remember. I think they should use all the tools at their disposal, it would be foolish for them not too the memories of those checking station days.... kids getting their 1st deer totally awesome...best was when a guy's wife brought in a huge deer 12 point, looked like a elk it was so big, she was giddy, her hubby came in not 30 min after she did and saw the polaroid of the monster buck and chit himself!!! this was in the early 90's before many had cellphones, he was happy for her but clearly disappointed he didn't shoot it, to this day its the biggest deer I ever saw, as a note the biggest deer came from irrigated corn areas, lots of bucks 8 points and up.... worst was oak timber I guess they don't get as much to eat...people that came in were pleasant and friendly why not? they just filled a tag

unsure how most places worked, but I was a volunteer at the check station at the fire station on maiden lane in Joplin when I was at Southern, some of the firemen helped run the show...had a grad student looking for ticks on deer once, but for the most part biology majors from MSSU, a CO would stop in to gather the info.

cloudy days chunking stick baits on windy points can land you the biggest fish of the year, beaching your boat and walking the bank can be a huge pattern for walleyes and bonus whites, have done well on that pattern even till turkey day...play with the retrieve it can make a difference I start with jerk... jerk.. glide... pause and go from there

Agents are just using information to bust cheaters, which IMHO is good detective work, people should know that the system can be used to bust people, perhaps keep more people honest
