Very nice, Bob!An old/ new muskrat today.View attachment 2024534
You’re right, Alan. What If plays a big role.My theory on my knives usually revolves around a “what if” scenario. Based on that reasoning I’ll be covered today. Bad weather and family out of town so I’m going nowhere.View attachment 2024536
Please don’t lose that lovely 23 in the snow or anywhere else. I’m happy to see another Big Jack lover among us!Yeah. Father Guido was hilarious at the time, but I keep coming back to that pearl of wisdom.
It will be this indoors, but probably something orange for the shovelling. Now that I've thought about losing a white knife in the snow, it's a little less unlikely to happen.
It's supposed to keep snowing till Sunday afternoon.

Impressive preparedness, JD!Got an early start this morning. Lost power around 1AM, but the old generator worked just fine and was already hooked up since I expected an outage with the windy weather.

Nice character in that handle, cute bunny too.I’ve got a bunny but no bunny knife yet, so I carried my ettrick today.*

I have this one, too, that shows its age more. The new one still has its very sharp factory edges.Please don’t lose that lovely 23 in the snow or anywhere else. I’m happy to see another Big Jack lover among us!
Yours is in amazing condition for a knife made before 1950.

Edit: They do not specify whose urine to wash off of the meat…but I assume they mean the rabbit’s urine. But I’ll add, if any urine from any living being get’s on the meat…wash thoroughly.
