    2 weeks from now I want to go on a 2 day scouting trip in unit 10! I wanna check out perrin ranch but I see you have to be hunting. Should I bring my .22 or shot gun and say I am looking for squirrels and rabbits? Is that legal for me to do? Or should I stick to just near the ranch borders and listen for bugles? 

    I will be going on the last day of the early archery hunt so I won't be interfering with others hunts! Thank you!

    I run a buck 110 holds a edge but pain in the butt to sharpen. A outdoor edge big game for skinning a lightweight Ferber pack saw and a cheap fixed blade for breaking in the field. But mostly due everything with the buck 110. In fact just sharpened it for the upcoming hunts. After two years and numerous animals later. I run a sharping steel in between uses. As for a sharpening tool I use a Lan s k y a sky diamond stone and a homemade leather strop. But will be going to razor edges stones next year.

    Sounds good. Thank you

    I have almost every knife mentioned and IMHO replaceable blades really can’t be beat. Get a Havalon Titan or a Shockey and have both a folding and a replaceable. I would shy away from damascus online  because they can be finicky . Benchmade are great I have 4 and a bunch of customs, carry a benchmade.  Havalon now has the little plastic tool for removing blades and storing so it is simple, also gut hook, saw blade, and skinning blades. My most recent addition is a Kestrel, insanely lightweight and uses the same disposable blades. 

    Sounds good thank you! I never heard of that kinda material before

    Agreed, a Buck 110 and a sharpener is hard to beat. I received mine at 14 years old and my boys got theirs for graduating hunters safety. I have broken down many a animal with that blade. It fits the hand nice and the blade is stout enough to separate joints. Not as cool looking as Damascus steel but a real using heirloom.

    Wow that sounds awesome!

    That's a beutiful knife.  

    My vote would be for one stout fixed blade knife. Does not need to be pricey, just a cheap sturdy knife to help break a knuckle joint.  Second knife would be a replaceable blade knife. Caution on those though, they are razor sharp. I have cut proof cloth gloves I wear when using these.  DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT use replaceable blade knives unless you wear cut gloves and be careful of your pull in direction.  A guy on here last year got himself real good in the knee and was fortunate. He ended up getting kind of rescued but it could have been way worse.   

    The thin havelon break easy, I'd go with a thicker one.  We got a couple outdoor edge and Berbers I like.  Don't xxxx around man. Cut resistant gloves, only like $10

    Sounds good. I will add those cut resisting gloves to the list. I find myself not paying attention or making dumb mistakes a lot

    A Buck 110 and a Forschner/Victorinox 6 inch semi flex curved boning knife and a good sharpener is all you will ever need.

    Any sharpeners you would recommend? I only killed 1 deer and used 3 dull knifes and a hatchet and I was still barley able to skin and quarter it

    I am not a fan of replacement blades. Extra things to worry about.  Replacing blades, putting used blades somewhere safe, having to handle spare blades in the middle of the woods.  

    I prefer a a fixed blade that holds a great edge.  Like the handle to have some texture so if it gets a little messy, it's not trying to slide out of my hand.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing! I want one that I can make last a lifetime. Like buying blades for that EXACT knife even 10 years from now would be probably impossible!

    Hi everyone! So I am going through the list one item after another on what to get this fall and next up is a solid hunting knife that can help skin, and quarter is ease! Any recommendations? I found a damascus steel knife that apparently is really good and I will add a picture of what it is! I looked into the Randy Newberg knife from Gerber that has the replacement blades which is an option. But if I can find one of those "long lasting" almost lifetime knives that would be great too! Because there is no guarantee that 10 years from now i can find replacement blades for the Gerber knife. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    It's just as bad in AZ and has been for 30 years. The system and teaching is all about the teachers who have little qualifications to teach and want accolades like they have a darn PhD. My kids went through the Mesa school system and graduated in the 90's and 2006 and 2008. If it weren't for us being involved and actually teaching them something practical that they were not getting in school they wouldn't have the knowledge and common sense they have today.

    There is ZERO need for a "Teachers Aid", especially when the only qualification is to show up and breathe. There is a reason why Arizona  is ranked 49th.

    Exactly. Like I had a few that were amazing and really cared, and those teachers are there right now teaching on a whiteboard with a camera. I see them there every day I drive passed the school but it seems a lot of other kids there are having the same issue with the teacher doing nothing but saying "click the link" I hope that AZ doesnt follow and say no tutors. Because they NEED them!!!

    My little brother is still in Highschool and he has to do this "simulated school" on his computer. Usually you would think that the teacher would be on a Skype call and would show the class how to do certain things on a whiteboard. They dont. They end up giving them a link to read on how to do a math problem or a link to read on for chemistry. So I have been trying to tutor them. I think that the law is wrong. This online or "simulated learning" is terrible and it really is frustrating for my little brother. I spend hours a day helping him because the teachers won't teach over the computer, instead they are short cutting the short cut that is already given to them

    I have several in different camo patterns in the right size for him. It's simply a matter of digging them out from the recesses of my hunting clothing closet.

    That would be amazing too! Just let me know when you are more comfortable with everything going on around the world and I will bring as much money as I can scoop up and buy some supplies
