Don't know about the reindeer, but the neighbor and his son both got a whitetail deer from my land. One with shotgun and one with bow and arrow. The archery kill was a nice sized doe wish dressed at about 150 lbs(69 kilos). They have both been kind to my freezer.  Cheers Sounds so exciting  Here in ultima Thule, full of ammos on shot guns are forbidden by law. And also any lead based pellets (some environmental stuff), so there is not anything else left than shooting smaller birds with shotgun (goose does not come down on hundred yards with molybdenum ammos, believe me, I know). On another hand, our forest are very dense. So there is not absolutely any change to get shooting range with classic bow, because you cannot sneak with unloaded longbow. And yes, law also forbid using crossbows for hunting. Good side is that we have on another hand, most greatest freedom to walk on individually owned forest and pick any kind of berries and mushrooms. This is because last great famine on Europe was here on ultima Thule (1866-1868) and it did kill about 8% of population. So it quite naturally did lead creation of law that allow everybody could go and pick mushrooms where ever they grows. Edit: Here is shield of my mothers home county. On middle age using crossbow was like shopping on mall. I really do not know what "kolkkanuoli" is on English, but basic principle was that there were using same crossbow to put down rabbit and moose. And those king of blunt arrows was used for smaller animals.  Accumulated Points: 18,301,743 Most of the archery hunters do not use classic longbows(recurves). They use compound bows. We do have a limited season for crossbow use, but I think it is restricted to the handicapped. During the shotgun season, they must use slug ammunition for deer hunting. Shotgun season for deer is only two weeks long in the mid to late autumn. I am not a bird hunter, but I think all lead shot has also been banned here. Steel and/or tungsten alloy shot has replaced it. Too much lead was getting into the lake bottoms and killing the birds that were bottom feeders. I looked over the internet and I too was unable to find a translation for "kolkkanuoli". The state mushroom for Minnesota is the Morel mushroom. I have never had any, but I am told they are very tasty. I have had other types and generally liked them all. Cheers

Well of course all modern longbows are compound bows here also. problems lays there that you cannot keep it loaded for long times with your muscles. And when you start load it, pray will run like he**.
----------------------------------------So on these kind of dense forest, only bow that really work is crossbow, because you can just sit with loaded weapon for hours after another and wait pray to come close enough. But about morel. Morel (Gyromitra esculent) is most wanted mushroom here. There is couple piece of truffle here, but those are so rear that are founded mostly on storeys. Price of morel on market place is something like 15US$/lb. I remember from biology class that those are highly toxic as raw (causes liver failure, and there is somethinng like four liver transplant on year = mortal), and always need to be boiled very well and twice with different water. I also remember that boiling will destroy 99,5% of poison and it will actually cumulative to human body. So I will not eat those.... I would rather eat amanita muscaria than morels Accumulated Points: 18,301,743  |

The Morchella esculent is the true morel. They only have slight toxicity and thus must be cooked. The books say not to eat them raw. The Finnish name I believe is huhtasieni. They are listed as a true delicacy. You still hear of a few purists using the recurve type bows, but they do not have the compactness nor power of the compound bow. I think it takes much greater shoulder and arm strength with recurve to get the same arrow speed as a compound. Cheers

But there are no old, bold mushroom pickers!" I always liked that saying. |

This is so funny
---------------------------------------- Old folks collect false morels (I use your terminology to make this simple) a lot on autumns. Forest are full of theses and they can pick them were ever they grow. Then they can sell those on local marketplaces, it is tax-free income and those are sold out very easily. Here everybody knows that those are lethal, but tourists does not, and you know how they like taste everything on marker square. So there is always some kind of pirate flags on some products.  Just wondering how weird this must be from foreign point of view. Grannies collect all day poisonous mushroom, make pies out of them and serve to their guests. Here have some pie for desert. Yes, walls are really melting... On another hand, it would explain why Laplanders like to stay out on fire hold night and bang drum like there is no tomorrow. I have always wonder that... So funny.... Accumulated Points: 18,370,635 |

So funny.... Accumulated Points: 18,370,635 I see the humor. Korvasieni must be false morel and huhtasieni must be true morel. Are you sure those Lapplanders are not using psyclocibin (hallucinogenic) mushrooms? Cheers

I see the humor. Korvasieni must be false morel and huhtasieni must be true morel. Are you sure those Lapplanders are not using psyclocibin (hallucinogenic) mushrooms? Well, here korvasieni (toxin) is _the_ morel, and huhtasieni (nontoxic) is secondary quality crappy morel. I have never seen huhtasieni (nontoxic) sold on marker squares, but there is always a lot of korvasieni (toxin) on every autumn. And that is only very small fraction from amount that peoples collect directly themselves, because it is queen of mushrooms here. And actually my digital dictionary translates morel to korvasieni and so does this: http://www.fincd.com/ But yes actually, korvasieni seems to be false morel to be excact. It is funny becouse terminology is visa versa here. I did found this: Official figures from the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry report a total amount of false morels sold in Finland of 21.9 tonnes in 2006 and 32.7 tonnes, noted as being above average, in 2007.[69] In 2002, the Finnish Food Safety Authority estimated annual consumption of false morels to be hundreds of tonnes in plentiful years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyromitra_esculenta Well, here is local Xmas tree  Accumulated Points: 18,417,429 |

And now, the race of the post of the video of the race: So join us and witness the spectacle that is “truly” yours, __________________> on this edition of WCG Wide World of Sports! ____ Wow...Singapore has really changed since the last time I was there in '01. Neat video. I used to be a F1 fan, but no more. Too snobbish and political. When half the teams boycotted the USA Indy race that was the day I quit watching (and buying Michelin tires). There is plenty of other "real" racing to watch. |
