Happy SPS! Thanks again for taking the reigns Roger!

Yesterday... long day started at 2:45am. Get in the blind and just as the sun breaks over the hill, turkeys go bonkers on the roost. All told, about 50 came off the roost to start their day.
A dozen or so does and youngsters frolicked around before noon. One good chocolate rack buck at about 150 yards cruised through, me with my binos in hand didn't get a shot.
From noon to 3 a couple more does, and the turkey started heading back to their roosting grounds.
At about 430 I started packing the blind up. I Wasn't feeling a night tracking and dresing job.
A few minutes later, tall, dark, and handsome from earlier stepped out at 40 yards and was staring at my decoy.
Yes... decoy! If you want to see some fun interactions from your deer, try a decoy. I got it for bow hunting. I don't dump corn like a lot of the other hillbillies do 'cause I turkey hunt and you can't hunt turkey on baited ground. The comfort provided by the decoy and their own curiosity brings the deer in close.
One well placed shot from my .30-30 and this old boy ran off about 50 yards before running out of air and crashing in the swimming hole in the creek.

Thank you Roger for the Sunday Picture Show and the History lesson. Just because Nixon said he wasn’t a crook doesn’t mean he wasn’t. This is an old Selector with a
full serrated drop point blade. It is useful for baguettes and hard rolls.The nail nick is on the “wrong” side because the blade was intended for the Model 428 2 blade Selector.

Hi All,

Thank you Roger for being the awesome host & the Tricky Dick History bite. Thank you to each of you who took the time to post photos or add to the conversations!

The Battling Buck I bought at Bass pro has gold plating on the Bucks and a gold ring around the cut-out, its a 194 with ATS34.




Here is one more of the Battling Bucks Alphas from Bass Pro Shop


One more then I'm done for the day, got stuff to do as it's the first day off after 9 day/night of work in a row and start again in the morning ( I'm too old for this lol).

My knife (opening post) has neither the gold ring around the cutout or ATS-34 steel so not the Bass Pro knife? BO or second run perhaps.

Bass Pro has done a bunch of very nice LEs over the years (I miss those days). Also, Buck has made many variations of the Battleing Bucks in many different models.

Thank you Roger for your information on the 194/694s. Funny how I did not put 2 & 2 together on the blade steel as I did wonder why the same knife had different model numbers.

A 192 vs 692 is the handle, go figure. Wonder why they did not call 110 a different model number with an upgrade to the steel? LOL
