littlecanoe Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Very nice work. I'm sure that they will have smiles on their faces and each will likely think that his knife is the best present this year. That is, unless you made a sporter for each also!! LOL I have aspirations to jump into the knife making. Pics like that make me wanna do it now! Good Job and Merry Christmas! LC I really like that skinner.............

FC Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Now THOSE are good Christmas presents! I never heard of those woods. Does anyone else have this experience? You ask for, say, a bowie knife or rifle, get the krinkled nose look, and get something you don't really want all that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

724wd Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 that would be a medium sized "black" bear. out of the 3 bears i have shot, none have been black, but this beautiful golden color. last year i winged red bear. i followed a sparse blood trail for around 100 yards before it petered out. my dad saw the bear running flat out at the head of the canyon a couple hundred yards away. gun was shooting about 8 inches to the right. he'd have been a beauty!
