He and his wife were in town for a few days and after some phone tag we got together this morning.
We went down to the ocean where we could drive the Jeep on and we found a dead sea turtle.

It has rained almost non stop for 3 days with gale force winds and high seas.

We went to breakfast and then to my hunting lease.
After a while we saw a hen turkey in the road

We rode all over the place and I think we covered the entire 4,600 acres.
Did a little mud boggin.We saw 3 more turkeys,we went places I have never been to on the property and found some great hunting spots.
We then headed back to the hard road (after I figured out where I was) and made a quick trip to Jacksonville to visit a major retail sporting goods store (GM)we looked around for a while and traded opinions on equipment,GP knows his stuff.
We went out to my Jeep to head back and Todd presented with the most beautiful,handmade,custom hunting knife.I was so suprised.

The blade was priviously an industrial hacksaw blade in a drop point configuration.It measures 3.5" and is 1/16" thick and full tang
The liners are brass and meticulosly fitted.
It has brass pins and Mule Deer Scales which are 4 & 7/8.

I will treasure this knife and it will find a place in my trophy cabinet,after it butchers a few deer.
Meeting Todd and spending the day with him was a pleasure.
He is a gentelman and an ethical hunter who cares about our environment and the critters in it.I can tell he respects his fellow man and is one of those guys that just does the right thing because it's right.
Todd,I'll share deer or Elk camp with you anytime.We should try to make that happen.My home is open to you and your wife.
P.S. It's pouring again.
