Well, we did survive our hog hunt !Four of us got three pigs [ 205 ,175 ,and 152 #s] and we all came home in one piece, with our next hunt booked back. The Arkansas river bottoms ,aka swamps, was very different than my hunting here in s.e.Kansas. Still got to find my own knife but I"ve got till may to get one. Thanks for the help and advice. Be safe all! Thanks Kently
