have to admit I just cut-and-pasted Gregs quick write-up, will correct..

I was going with a heavy, non-returning boomerang for large game &  
fighting & a lighter, returning one, mainly cause they're fun...

erm, as above :),

point about Kill Wolf)..

Reindeer eat fly-agaric. Lapps & other arctic types famously drink  
their urine as this provides the hallucinogenic aminita effects while  
detoxifying the poisons.. I figure that eating moss isn't very  
interesting to human uncolings...

ok -( I had the "in the not-spring they are in small family groups"  
thing in mind here...)
