I haven’t been keeping close track of the Blanding pothunting cases recently, but it seems there have been a couple of guilty pleas. Obviously this is good news for prosecutors, but as we saw with the Redds a lot depends on what happens at sentencing. Presumably these pleas involved some sort of deal, but the nature and consequences of any such deal are unlikely to be apparent for a while. As always, the best approach to interpreting these events is to wait and see.

Hello – it seems I’m going to pester you again, but my opportunity to surf the net comes between 5 and 7 am, and Midwest reticence is not up and running this early. Your post on atlatls is to blame for this intrusion.
I have a modern wood atlatl with attached stone weight and accompanying dart. I throw darts when my “hay bale” shoulder permits. I found older darts at an antique store six or seven years ago. Their shafts appear to be made from bamboo and are fletched with beautiful red, blue and yellow feathers. The feathers were not from any birds native to the US, and until seeing your photo of Macaw feathers their place of origin was a mystery to me.
One of the old darts was featherless. I fletched that one with turkey feathers and I do use it
The antique darts have attached wood points twelve to eighteen inches long with waxed red twine wound at the point of hafting, so it appears they are not all that ancient. The wood point is hard, grained and has been serrated.
My modern dart is heavy, solid wood and has a metal point. The difference in weight between the bamboo dart and the modern dart is striking; the bamboo dart flies much higher, faster and farther. When last thrown the bamboo dart pierced a small root buried about four inches in the ground and ninety feet away. Grandchildren and dogs remain in the house during dart throwing.
On the subject of atlatl “weights,” experts in the modern sport continue to disagree on whether the weights are functional or not. That might depend on the width of the atlatl, the material it is made of, or its flexibility. Perhaps balance in the hand enters into it, as it would with a knife. Perhaps the weights might be better described as charms. All the Archaic petroglyphs of atlatls at Jeffers in MN include “weights.” The ancient indians seemed to think they were important. I think I’ll keep the “weight” on my atlatl. Ilike it that way.
Thank you for an ever-interesting blog, Judy
