I have a friend that lives in New Zealand, Stephen Coote, He is retired and loves archery , rifles and the out doors. He lives in the country and traps animals that cause farmers a problem. The last time we exchanged letters he was shooting Hares that were eating a young Japanese couples Edomame,"Soy Beans". I believe he lives just out side of the capital?
 
Cutfinger, Welcome to this community. Here are lots of varied opinions with even more great advice. There is not a question that cannot be answered here.
Bye the bye, whilst I would really like to visit your island for it's Folk's and it's beauty, please don't come to Illinois . The upper quarter is unbelieveable.🤔😐😑😜

Welcome from Maryland

My Delaware name is kitëlëncha mhukwi [kee-ta-len-ja ..., mu-kwi] which is [his] thumb is bleeding. I got it as one of my thumbs always either gets cut with a knife or snags on the edge of a flint during a normal living history weekend. So I literally feel your pain. Sometimes the Delawares that I know say
kwëti kitëlëncha which means "one thumb" when they call my name, ... it's an "inside joke" because with one thumb having a huge bandage or stitches, I effectively only have one working thumb on a given weekend.
