I would start a group on Mushroom knives but I'm afraid I'd be all alone and my collection only consist of  7 knives! 

If someone has a group for horticulture knives or Hawkbills, I'd be keen to join.

My latest Hunting Knife!

Yep it is another Mushroom hunting knife.  This one is by Mercury of Italy.  According to the paper work that came with the knife According to Mercury, there knife is the Original, often imitated Mushroom knife.  The instructions also expaling how to pick mushrooms and use the knife once it is picked.  The 4cm rule is on the handle because mushrooms, like fish often need to be a certain size before being collected. 

I went with the Mico 1 in Olive Wood.   the blade is listed as 440A.   Overall, this is an exceptional knife.  As with many Mushroom knives, there's a set of tweezers in the handle. A nice compliment to the knife.

They are true predators and pests for sure. We have lots around here, but it seems this year there are less than normal. The Rabbits are thick so we must be in that cycle. The Coyotes will return for sure. I hate that, they killed your little girls pets - go get em Robert.

When my grand girls were small the coyotes killed several pet dogs. I saw them crying their eyes out and I then declared war on the coyote. I have killed a lot of them since then. My nick name is now Pawpaw Coyote, and their is a good reason. I have their number, and it's Dead 0.

We have to pen up or bring inside every dog or cat. The chicken pen has wire from the ground to the roof. That's how bad the predators are around here.

Hey Ron - just say "Here Kitty Kitty" and be sure you have your .45 when you do. You have lots of wildlife to enjoy. But better be careful.

I think I posted this link about a year or so ago? But, nonetheless, it's a video that one of the local news shows ran a couple of years back that shows the two mountain lions that have been roaming around my town snatching people's pets and killing the deer in the area. They were just lounging in the lady's front yard one evening and seemed undisturbed when the police were trying to chase them off...

We have had numerous bear sightings and the coyote pretty much use our foothill community as their own All You Can Eat Diner, grabbing any unsuspecting family pet that happens to venture outside after the sun goes down. 

This bear was tranquilized and captured back in June just two blocks from where I live:  http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&am...

It's a Jungle out there!!!

Robert, I know what you're talking about.  Some of the folks I told about the Armadillo looked at me like was talking flying saucers.  Eventually it'll make the evening news in Chicago and the same people will pretend like I never told them I saw them!

Here in Louisiana, people for years have said they say black panthers and the La. Dept. of Wild life and fisheries has denied their existence, almost calling the people liars. Well, trial camera's other photos has proved who the liars are. Yes, we have Florida Panthers here in Louisiana. I have never seen one but I have a friend or two that has. I know these men well and they are real woodsman. I trust their report over what has been said by our government.
