Howdy All,

Been a while since I had anything of value to contribute here, but today that changed a little.

This...(Ruger 77RS .358Win.)


and this....(KFU Kephart)



Helped me with this today....(It's a decent little 3x3 for this part of the County, but no where near as big as some of the deer at higher elevations just north of here.)



(I know...I know...There's a little too much meat on that hide, but to be fair... I'm a little out of practice)


What can I say that doesn't sound like a broken record...BY FAR, the most comfortable handle I've ever used on a knife!!! THANKS CHRIS!!!

All the Best and Happy Hunting to those of you who partake in the lifestyle!!!
