Show Us Your Hunting Knife

[CBH Australia]

Bob, just yesterday you asked me what rifle I would take to shoot pigs if we plan a hunt.
What you you have said if I said .243? You know I have one.

Do you suppose a knife made of a melted down 243 would glow in the presence of one? Be worth a shot Bob?

@CBH Australia
May be on less person or one less rifle on the trip.
I refuse to finish any more game for any one using a 243.
Them pigs up there get big and mud encrusted.

Here’s Bob holding “Sting” and thinking, “OK, who’s got the 243 in their pocket?”.

And just remembered the history of Gandalf’s main sword. It too was made by the elves of the First Age. It was called “Foe-Hammer” by the Great Goblin, leader of the underground goblins. It scared him to death and Gandalf finally used it on him.

Is Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen holding his glowing elven bladed sword in one of the caves in Middle Earth (aka: Australia)?

I live in New York City so my primary hunting knives in town differ from what others may use.

For bush use ….

If I am not mistaken those look like throwing knives.

It's hard to tell because it's buried in the skull of an alligator but it's got a nicely folded blade. South Carolina only allows pistols for finishing off alligators and only after they're subdued at boat side. So we have to bring them in alive (we us fishing poles and hand lines) and shoot them at boatside. I never trust a limp gator so I make sure with the knife before carrying on to the next steps...

Wow, I didn't know they had alligators in South Carolina? Nice!

ala... Dundee!

The eastern half of the state is covered with them. Here's one that decoyed to my goose spread...

They really aren't a problem unless you try to hunt with a dog before middle November. A 12-footer got a guy's lab on a dove hunt I was on. All I remember was him saying something like, "what am I going to tell my wife when I show up at home without that dog..."

They used to be rather arrogant until SC opened a hunting season on them in 2009. Before that they wouldn't move. The big ones would suck in some air so their backs would come entirely out of the water - kind'a like they were saying, "you want some of this?"

After we started hunting them, though, they got the message. If a bream fisherman pulls into a cove with alligators even the big ones will slowly sink and get out of Dodge. It's really a testament to hunting. If a cold-blooded animal with a brain the size of a walnut can figure out that humans are trying to kill him and learn to avoid people, I'm sure the grizzly bears in Yellowstone would figure it out quickly too...

Haha - yep, only mine was hog-tied with 100 lb braided line and a couple of ropes...

Well, we can't hunt Crocodile or hunt with handguns.
Explains why Crocodile Dundee carried a Big knife.

Step One, I would be worried what I'm gonna tell the authorities when I'm taking the dead Alligator home.
Step 2 the wife's gonna be pissed about the dog.
I'm gonna miss the dog but the alligator doesn't get away with it.
