KPO, you never know til you try. If you get one I hope you like it. They aren't terribly expensive so it isn't as if one will miss a house payment if one is purchased. If you do and don't like it, lemme know, I'll buy it from you.

Phil, that's a pretty knife. It should be as functional as it is good looking.

That's an exceptionally fine looking knife Phillip, and great pictures. It should serve you well in the field.

Hello RWL99 - Great pictures of your hunting camp. Looks like a comfortable camp and good hunting success. I like your set-up for the squirrel being cooked over the fire along with the venison ribs. I'm gonna have to try that. Good stuff.

You can't live on just squirrels and ribs, We roasted this venison haunch one day and threw some squash in the coals to go along with it....don't wanna get scurvy. laugh

RWL, great pics of a great camp. But then, I wouldn't have expected any less from you. Thanks for a glimpse into a "north country" camp!!

Great shots there RWL99! Love it. I've been sick for several days with bronchitis and sinus infection; felt better enough this afternoon to take a trip down to the inlaws place, and went for a bit out into the woods. Sat down by a tree in a good looking spot, and in a little bit a squirrel showed up about 50 yards or so away. Put a CCI Minimag HP through it's neck and down it tumbled. No crawling away with that hit!

Phil, I expect not!! Just the crack of the .22, a crumbled squirrel falling to the earth and a sodden thump at the end! Another good shot with a fine meal the result!

Only saw one today. I guess the full moon has them playing all night. This one must not have a late night partier he came out before dark.

Rwl: Wow! Never considered the 45-70 a squirrel gun, but I have considered heading a grouse or two when out elking.

Killed five today, but only recovered four. One of them fell into a clump of vines and mess and got stuck waaaaaay up in a tree, couldn't get it down. Got four in the morning and one after lunch.

I don't know where in AL you're hunting but while I was deer hunting I saw a pile of squirrels and no deer. Made me consider changing rifles and still come home with some meat.
Nice Pics.
