My supply of Fatwood for my woodstove had dropped to an alarming low so I decided I'd gear up and head of to hunt some Fatwood today !
My weapon of choice was my Swamprat M6 today, tough enough to do the kill yet still nimble enough to process it afterwards.
I'd not been out long when I spotted some Fatwood in the distance...

I drew my knife slowly and quietly and tried to stay down wind of the Fatwood.
I moved so quickly that the fatwood never even saw me coming, one swift strike and it was over !

As the beast dropped to the ground the dogs moved in quickly to make sure it was dead. It must have weighed close to 70 lbs, pretty good size for this species.

This was pretty good quality stuff...

I quickly processed what I could, I know some will say it's a waste just taking the head but this won't spoil and will be there when I next go back. Maybe next time I'll take my Knatchet or Chopweiler and bring back the tenderloin !

Nobody ever said hunting was safe !

To all my fellow Fatwood hunters, stay safe out there and happy hunting !
