I am happy you found you patch, but your story just made me think about how exposed we are out there in our pursuits. We carry all the right gear, but little or no protection, and certainly no 50Cal. Muskets. I always have protection with me when I hunt in the middle of nowhere. A little extra weight on the belt but absolutely worthwhile for a bit more peace of mind. Of course I hope I never ever have to use it. But 15 miles away from any civilization in the middle of nowhere and all alone can be spooky at times, especially when you hike back in the dark. All legal of course and with license. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred looks like he could be handy for protection but he also looks like he might get into my lunch. I have enough trouble hiding my lunch from Sourdough Scott. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McCulloch Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 The problem with having Fred as a hunting buddy is that YOU might become HIS lunch. Sixty-plus years ago in Southern California there was a place called the Alligator Farm. They had hundreds of alligators, crocodiles, and caymans. At feeding time often Little Jimmy would pedal his Stingray there to watch whole chickens being gobbled down. During the feeding frenzy sometimes smaller gators got eaten, too. Even today my worst nightmares are about "gittin' et by a croc." You Ozblokes who detect near croc-infested waterways must be muy macho hombres.

Hit one at a Sasquatch crossing coming back from the claim. The injuries were so bad I nearly had to shoot it (referring to the Jeep). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
