What Fiddleback Forge knife are you totin' today?

Taking a short coffee break from the hunt. I'm getting a bit old for this - heading into the woods at 5:45am, temps hovering around 12 degrees, with snow flurries. Well, old might be the wrong word. How about a bit more sensitive to the realities.

My carry combo today


I'm hoping to need them with this ol' boy. But he's proving to be very tough indeed. We don't see many bucks like this around here, so he didn't get this big by making mistakes.

Well Tony, Best of luck to you, and that old buck. May the spoils of the hunt go to the best one of you. I've switched to hog hunting myself.

At this point he is clearly the best of us. He refuses to change it up - sun, rain, wind, hot, cold...doesn't matter. He won't move during shooting light. He's bedding down on the adjacent property, so any daylight movement is out of my range. My land is exclusively for night time feeding, hanging at the watering hole, and partying with the ladies.

Come on ladies! Help a brother out here.

Never tried hog hunting. Not a lot of opportunity in Virginia, Montana, and now Western North Carolina. But it sure does sound like fun!
 
Tony, you have to change up your location to get between his food/water source and his bedding area. If a second rut kicks in it will change things again.

Bob, I'm literally right between his bedding and food/water source. And the property lines are too close for much of a location change - I'm hunting my own land, and all the parcels here are pretty small. I'm surrounded on 3 sides by property I can't hunt. This guy's gonna take every bit of skill I might imagine I have, combined with some real genuine luck, and hopefully an assist from the weather and biology.
