Several students in Mr. D’s science class recently completed a full-size whitetail deer skeleton using a deer found on the school nature trail. After cleaning, boiling, and bleaching the bones, the students researched whitetail anatomy and carefully assembled the skeleton, no small task, especially when it came to aligning the backbone.

A whitetail deer has 327 bones, and several were initially missing, but through teamwork involving students and family members, every bone was eventually recovered and placed. The finished project now serves as a hands-on learning display, alongside donated artwork from renowned outdoor artist Ryan Kirby, adding another layer of education and inspiration to the classroom. Great job kids and teacher!

Ran across my first self-made hanger and one of my first welding projects. Scrap metal, log chain and plywood were put together for this in 1978. Turnbuckles sucked it tight to any tree. A 5 gallon bucket worked as my seat, except for ice-coated days. 2x4 treated blocks were nailed in a zigzag pattern to climb.
It wasn't TMA approved, but I'd have no problem re-flooring it and adding some sticks for a new climb. P.S: Don't choose a black walnut for nails and chains. One day, it may be fairly valuable for a harvest log.
