Welcome to iKnife.

Jim

Welcome!  Your profile sounds a lot like mine.  I'm retired.  My interests are guns and knives.  My other hobbies include anything to do in the woods.  I don't live in Michigan but I do live in northern Alabama.

I don't have any tacticals at this point.  I have been collecting for a several years but until the last year or two, it was hit and miss.  I was given several knives and I just bought what caught my eye.  Since I found this site, I have become more focused and am trying to upgrade my collection.  I still haven't picked one brand or pattern to concentrate on.  I do now have some Case and Buck knives.  I have a vacation planned in July to Pigeon Forge.  I definitely will spend some time (and money) at SMKW.

As far as fishing, I am 10 miles from Wheeler Lake on the Tennessee River.  Just downstream from Wheeler is Wilson Lake and just upstream is Guntersville Lake.

A friend at church lets me hunt on his farm just five miles from my house.  Deer are plentiful and we have a three and a half month long deer season with a limit of two a day.  I let a lot of deer walk this past season but killed two bucks, a six and a seven point.  You can see some of my game pics on the Outdoor group.

Welcome to iKC!

Finding a place to hunt can be a problem around here too.  A lot of the land is leased by hunting clubs.  In past years I have leased small pieces of property myself.  But the last few years my friend at church lets me hunt without charge.  He even lets me park my 4 wheeler in one of his sheds.  I have put up two shooting houses and a couple of ladder stands.  Also have made some salt licks.  The deer really use those.  On my game cameras I have gotten pictures of as many as 13 deer gathered around one of my salt licks.

The owner's son and grandson also hunt the property and use the stands I have put up.

Jim, thanks for joining the Buck Knives Group.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jim!
