Hunted 3 years in Comanche Co, never found a one
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Flintknapper those are amazing. Meh....they're just rocks. We have all kinds of modern 'tools' with which to work (Percussion and Pressure Flaking). It would be more difficult if was limited to using a deer antler, a piece of bone and a hammer stone. That is why I really marvel at the abilities of those who survived....long before us.  All done with the hammerstone in the first pic.    
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

This using stone for percussion and antler pressure flaking. The fluting on the Clovis was done with indirect percussion using a notched antler.

Nice parallel flaking. Good flute. Looks like good material. So easy to break them when fluting.

So easy to break them when fluting. So easy that when you do get one right your have to take a picture. This one now belongs to the College and is used in their History Department, i made them a nice Folsom also.

This from a flake and using antler for pressure work. Sweet, nice symmetry. I'm guessing it has nice straight edges and tapers nicely from base to tip. I can tell from your work, you have talent. Thanks for sharing.
