Huntin with your Traditional Knives

Holy cow, those are super cool, it's all one man would ever need at deer camp!!

Who makes those??
 
Just finished packing the car, leaving in the morning for the eastern shore of Maryland and three days of waterfowl hunting. I packed these knives; a Buck 493, a Buck 110, and a Case 6318 for my pocket. OH

Good luck out there OH!

Got a spike today with the muzzleloader. With only two days in the season left and knee deep snow, everything is fair game.

Congrats on the harvest, Jake.:thumbup: We all head out there with the hope of tagging a monster buck, but when it comes down to it meat in the freezer is way more important to me. That looks like a really nice knife from Brett and it must be a pleasure to put it to good use.

Congratulations on getting some meat in the freezer Jake.

I had planned to go this afternoon but being sick has put me in my recliner for the day.

Thanks guys. The grind and D2 made quick work of the dressing for sure. Hopefully tomorrow is just as good!
 
Glad to see all the pics in this thread 😎

Hopefully we'll get some more pics up soon. I'll see if I can dig some up myself. I've had a career change and moved states, so it was kind of an anemic hunting season unfortunately.

Hopefully a better season next year for you, man. I was wondering when you might drop in again!

We're just about to start hunting Sambar deer again here - first hunt of the year coming up this weekend.

There's no seasonal or bag restrictions on Sambar (in most places) here, but we usually lay off a bit during our hot Aussie summer - the ground's like walking on cornflakes with all the dry eucalyptus leaves, and the risk of snakebite increases if you're running hounds.

Good to have you back again 556Hunter. How did you do on that Sambar Stag hunt Cambertree? Our 30 day Spring Turkey season came in here on Saturday (4/8); I hunted all day but got no bird. Hunted again on Monday morning and called in a nice Tom (20 lb., 8 oz. - a good sized Eastern for our area) - cut and cleaned it up with a Buck 121 Guide (what else?) OH

Nice bird OH! Perfect choice for cleaning a turkey. I carried my Bose fixed blade yesterday in a failed attempt at getting a tom. Fried turkey and fried crappie are the bounties of spring. I hope to get both real soon.

Thank you and good luck to you Chris. I went again this morning, got one more tag; saw nothing, heard nothing. Will go again next week. OH
 
The hunt went well thanks, OH.

Thanks for that post and great photos - what a magnificent bird that turkey is you bagged!

I've only ever seen one turkey over here - someones farm pet - but it was a very impressive creature too. We have a different kind of native bush turkey, but I think only indigenous people can hunt them.

I should mention that we have two kinds of hunting for Sambar in Victoria: stalking and hound hunting.

The information I posted above relates to stalking - there is a season for hound hunting, and this hunt was the first of the year.

Hound hunting is a lot more sociable regarding camp life than the small remote low-key mountain camps of stalkers tend to be, so it was good to catch up with the crew again.

We took three good size eating does. And unfortunately a nice 24" stag bolted in front of one of the 4x4s and was hit on a mountain track, heading into camp the night before the hunt. We had to put down the stag, as one of its ribs punched into it's heart/lung area. We salvaged what meat we could from the other unbruised side.

Dawn before the hunt, in camp.



Checking out some sign.



Blades for this hunt: Adam Parker 4" Loveless DP in CPMS30V, GEC ebony 53, and an ebony Arthur Wright and Sons Lambsfoot, I picked up in Sheffield earlier this year.



My go-to traditional when out bush.



This Lambsfoot was a handy camp utility knife.



The young stag.



A 'Castie' one of the hunters found in the grass, near where we were field dressing one of the does.

Thanks, Chin. I think it turned out pretty good. They got the skull super clean and snow white. I didn't think the antlers were nice enough to have a mount with the hide on, but wanted something a little nicer than just an antler mount since it was the first one I've harvested during archery season. I added a couple photos to my previous post that show how they are asymmetrical. The side with the broken point curls in more and actually crosses the centerline of the skull.
 
Glad to see this thread back up again. Beautiful photo's Camber - wonderful country to hunt in. Danny, your taxidermist did a nice job on the
Euro mount - that has become my favorite method of mounting antlers. Keep those blades working gents! OH
