My buddies killed a deer and a wild hog and gave me a quarter of each. They are great friends. They have had more luck than me and are willing to share. I have helped them many times in the past. If my Luck changes I will share with those that have had no luck yet. The best part of our season has just gotten hear the last few days, until the end of January.

I know you are proud of your Grand daughter. Grand daughters are special, I know I've raised two of them. We had the ham with cabbage and black eye peas, last night for supper. Cai Bon, wee!

I can almost taste those hams Robert - I know they were good.

My daughter and grand daughter are in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. My G'daughter cheers during half time for high school girls.

Hey Ken, I smoked two hams New Year's Eve. Talk about good, any thing you can do yourself comes out so good. People appreciate it a little more too.

Sounds like a great knife - you are making me hungry Robert.

Some hunters at our camp had luck and were deboning parts of deer and wild hog, today. One of the hunters ask if I had a knife they could use. Well I popped out that White River fillet knife and handed it to him. A little later I ask how it was doing and he was really impressed. He could not believe how long it held a great edge, while deboning all that meat. When he finished I cleaned and filleted 8 nice catfish with it. Tonight for supper I will be slicing a home made ham I smoked, while at the camp. All with out sharping. Good Knife? I'll say, so.

White River Knife and Tool fillet knives were named as "Gray's Best 2014" in the world renowned publication,Gray's Sporting Journal! We are truly honored...

White River Knife and Tool Fillet Knife
Over the past few years, I’ve given Gray’s Best to fixed-blade skinning knives, a folding-blade skinner, and a pocketknife. I was thinking about skipping knives for a few years when Steve Walburn showed me the fillet knives from White River Knife and Tool. These knives are so handsomely constructed that they simply couldn’t be ignored. The handles, made of either cork or DymondWood (32 layers of birch veneer), look like something you’d see in a custom knife shop, and go a long way toward separating these fillet knives from the herd. Aesthetics, of course, are worthless if the function fails to follow, and the White River fillet knife excels at its function. The thin blade, made of 440C stainless, cuts a fine line between skin and meat while removing thick slabs from large-mouth bass. The blade not only holds a good edge but is also made of high-carbon steel that resists corrosion, which is a huge consideration for a tool meant to be used in a watery environment—especially if your quarry comes from the salt. In addition to its work on cleaning tables and around boats, this fillet knife will handle slicing duties in the kitchen with ease and unmatched style.www.whiteriverknives.com

You are so right Tobias. The small bayou that passes by me helps drain water from the eastern side of Opelousas, the largest city/town in our parish. When the beavers damn up the bayou, some people houses flood. This has happened before. They come and trap them and it's good for several years. The water, when damned doesn't effect my house, I'm on high grown. It will how ever flood some of my property.

Beaver are the second largest rodent in the world and the the largest rodent north of the equator.  We've got them in the swamp in my area.  Not much of nuisance, more of a curiosity. They're dam might even help maintain the wetlands area and improve the waterfowl habitat.  But I can see how a beaver in the wrong area could be a major, major problem!
