MAXIMUM RESPECT be unto my firstborn son Hatuey Corrie who last week in the Bununi River in the Rupununi participated in his first hunt (with Makushi tribesmen) of a 10 foot long Black caiman (the only man-eating species in Guyana) armed with only knives and pulling the crocodilian OUT of a watery cavern whilst standing IN the water themselves! It takes BALLS the size of a goat to play with your life like that! As I told my son - you have had more adventures in ONE month in Guyana than your 81 year-old grandad has had in his entire life!

now, first things first, i dont know if my avid was used, but on with the story.

this was posted by my uncle (moms brother) on facebook yesterday, Damon Corrie, he spends about 4 months every year exploring the jungles etc. of Guyana, one of his businesses is exporting exotic animals. we are 50% arawak indian, and he married back into the lokono tribe, his son Hatuey is one of my closest cousins, and also worked with me for the past year and a half, he resigned a month ago to go on this current trip with his father, and before they left, i let him make a choice of pocketknife to carry out of my collection, he always had a soft spot for my vantage avid (well, since i got it) so he chose that, and judging from that facebook post, sounds like he bonded really well with it :D

he thinks he'll have to return the avid when he comes back.. little does he know that its been his knife since he chose it :thumbup: im weird in that i believe that you can bond with a knife, sounds like he just might have bonded with that one. guess ive got to order me another avid now, ah well, such is life when it comes to knives :D :D :D
 
if he didnt get pictures of that, im making him do it again.. lol


forgot to add the other reply from Damon

Just for the record - they were out on a fishing trip when they unexpectedly encountered the 10foot long Black Caiman were folks would bathe, so before it could attack some unsuspcting victim (say a chil perhaps) at a later date the men decided to kill it with their knives - hence the unfolding of the scenario above...it was not a pre-meditated hunt of the creature for any reason. I myself had planned to bathe there the week before on our way back from viewing ancient petroglyphs (but we were losing daylight fast and had no lights but a lot of jungle to traverse before we reached the road) that I took Hatuey to see further upriver at the falls, which was after he helped me excavate a new archaelogical dig (his first) in a mountan cave of some ancient human remains in clay pots - the week before that, which was a 4 day period that he had to walk 80 miles in the mountains to keep up with me and the rest of the men....as I said, more adventures in one month with me than in his grandads entire 81 years of life.

Wow, That Is A Really Cool Story, And I Hope He DID Use The Knife And He Will Probably Keep It Forever.
