    I say budget, you say knife

    The Case Drop Point Hunter is a pretty good knife for $64 You most likely can do a better price if you look around.

    I say budget, you say knife

    Try a Gerber Big Rock Camp knife. Will do all you ask of it (except fancy cuts on fish) and will not cost you an arm and a leg. The last two months I have been carrying a Condor Kephart on hunting trips in two states and it works fine for game processing ect. Check out John Fenna's review on the...

    Article: Heinnie Haynes: Condor Kephart Knife

    Just had to get one to try out. I really like it. I;m thinking it may well replace my BHK "Bushie" as my wood carry blade. Thanks for a great review.

    Anyone fish from a canoe or kayak?

    If it's just me fishing on the lake I use a 8.5ft yak. If I have one or both of my boys along then we use a 16ft Mad River canoe. We fish for Bass or Crappies around the bays and inlets of local lakes. Mostly using crank baits or tipped jigs. Every once in a while I will break out the fly rod...

    I want a big knife

    I have the OKW RAT6. Works for everything I need it for. Have a Becker BK2 as well. like them both. Have to laugh at the folks who give you the "Rambo" comments. They usually are the ones running around carrying Golocks and Kukris through the woods. Should add I'm not knocking any of the...

    Good recipes for Squirrels

    I picked this up on an "internet raid" but I use it and like it. Most of the fellows at camp enjoy it to. ~ 3 squirrels, quartered ~ Creole seasoning.(if you can't find ,use a mix of red pepper,black pepper, seasoned salt and a dash of liquid smoke) ~ 2 strips bacon, cut up ~ 1/2 stick...

    Another dumb squirrel verdict

    More worryingly to me it fuels the fire of the animal rights campaigners. Now the RSPCA have a conviction on these grounds they are likely to press for more, while other more militant groups use it as justification for their actions. This is one of the risks of our legal system. An...

    Another dumb squirrel verdict

    JonathanD, you miss my point . I agree with you that trapping has a set of ethics you should adhere to and if you are not equipped to handle the job ,don't do it. What I'm saying is this action opens up a whole new chapter in what is perceived as either cruel or not. Taken to it's most...

    Another dumb squirrel verdict

    Matt.S The only source I can quote is the article. It would lead one to believe that this is an RSPCA "guideline". As to whether drowning is humane .... But if you live trap an animal and have no access to a fire arm and don't want to stick your hand in the trap....? Ever seen what a squirrel...

    Another dumb squirrel verdict

    I have just read in Countryman's Weekly (kindly sent to me by fellow member Peaks) that the RSPCA successfully prosecuted a fellow for drowning a trapped tree rat. The fellow gets banged up to the tune of 1500 GBP.Seems the only approved method of dispatch is lethal injection administered by a...

    Squirrel "Massacre"

    At that price I may just start to ship my surplus tree rats (my dogs love them) over to the nice gent and ask 1.5GP each. That way I'm helping stem this unconscionable massacre and making a little on the deal.:cool: What a bunch of morons!!!

    Countyman's weekly?

    I was wondering if any of our members subbed to this weekly?. If so what do you think? If anyone could put an old copy in the post for me I would be most appreciative and of course pay the postage. Reason I would like a look first is a 3 month sub is close to $70 .:yikes: Thanks in advance.

    Bought a chiminea

    Can't imagine an evening walk without the smell of wood smoke in the air. So a chimney is going to cause more pollution than an open bonfire? I understand the coal fire thing but isn't it all getting a bit silly. Not looking to start a thread war ,just trying to understand how things have...
