End of April and beginning of May finds.

Well the snow is finally gone and the hunt is back on. I made it out a few times last weekend and out several times over the last few days with my son Trevor, Steve and John. This is my haul.

I think so too - awesome markings. The elk horn scraper (?) is pretty cool also the broken bear mandible was used for something (maybe a handle) as it's extremely worn. Take a close look at the front tooth.
I think this is going to be a great hunting season.

killer, killer!! what is with that jaw bone? Is that a canine poking out in front that is drilled? WTH?? Love all the stuff, but the bone items are tops!

Thanks. I'm not sure what the bear jaw was used for but with allow the wear on it it it was looks like it was used. Maybe a knife handle or something ceremonial. The canine is worn completely smooth and it also has what looks to be a hole drilled in the vented of it. All I know for sure is that it's old and well used. I really think the bone pieces a over the top too.

Thanks Russ, Trevor did good too. It may take a while, but he'll get his stuff posted.

The material you guy's get to pick up is STUNNIN!!!! I luv all the bone you guy's have too! Do you know what the bone piece with the X was used for exactly? That alone would make the hunt. Glad your snow's gone. CONGRATS... HH

twitko is posting a nice 'game piece' with the X and extra lines engraved
they are few and far between
that one is a good one

You found some really nice artifacts, but I believe that game piece is truely ''Banner'' worthy!
I highly suggest that the game piece be nominated as ''Banner"

Thank you. I'm really not sure what game it was used to play, or if it was actually used as a gaming piece. It might have served some other purpose. "Game piece" is we've always revered to them as.
