Two Ravens Leather Work by Jack Weeks

Born and raised in a small town in the Northern Illinois farm fields my family escaped annually to the _??North Woods_ѝ of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada to hunt and fish. Through these outdoor adventures I gained my earliest skills of observation and love of field biology. Along the way I gathered a B. S. in Zoology and Earth Sciences from Northern Illinois University and a M. S. in Wildlife Biology from Louisiana State University. These in turn led to a 31-year career as a Wildlife Biologist for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, 6 years with Michigan Wildlife Division and another 2 years with the U. S. Department of Agriculture_??s Wildlife Services.

Released at long last from the shackles of bureaucracy I_??m now free to pursue my interest in United States history and the lifeways of our ancestors. I camp and hunt using historical arms and equipment. I make my own accoutrements. All this has led to my working leather and scrimshawing powder horns in the _??old ways_ѝ.

I_??m member of The Contemporary Longrifle Association, The National Muzzelloading Rifle Association and The National Coalition of Historical Trekkers.

My wife p.t. and I live south of Luzerne, Michigan in the Huron National Forest, out in the woods_?_the place I truly belong.
