Yep! My in-laws had (now sold) a beautiful farm with lots of mature trees and an awesome pond. That’s where we always hunted for them.
I could easily see an Indian camp right there. It had everything!
Ho-Chunk was the tribe that once lived in that part of southwest Wisconsin. Beau names his hunting dogs after Indian Tribes. We currently own a Ho-Chunk, an Oneida and a Fox. :)
I live in another county now, but still the same part of the state. I find a lot of flint, but nothing of any great quality. The pieces I find look to be practice pieces, or something that unfortunately broke on it’s way to becoming an arrowhead.
“...something that unfortunately broke on it’s way to becoming an arrowhead.”
Judging by the number of unsuccessful arrowheads you find, the various Indian languages must have had a lot of words meaning “oh, crap”.
