Went for an early morning hunt with my son, Josh, today. Took a trip up King Eddy, because it's close, normally don't hunt up there on the weekends because of the traffic, but I needed to be home by 3, so that was my only real choice. As some of you may remember, most of my hunting commute is done in a mini van, so I usually park near side trails and hoof it. Today was no different, parked at the front of a road to an old cut block and we headed in for a look see. When we got to the edge of the but block, I started glassing anywhere I thought a mulie would blend and ended up setting them to rest on this guy. I would have passed him up if my son hadn't been with me, it was a 330 yard shot, uphill grade and a LOT of slash. Unfortunately, I looked down to see Josh smiling and looking at me with his hands over his ears. LOL. Had no choice at that point, took the shot and the bugger ran another 120 yards, FURTHER UP THE HILL! Sigh, rifle over the shoulder, off we went, Josh happily bouncing beside me. When it was all said and done, I had to drag the thing almost 500 yards down the hill over dead falls and old slash pile, up a knoll, then another 500 or 600 yards uphill to the van. Have to remember to go back later and pick up my lungs. LOL But, Josh was happy and we'll have pepperoni soon enough. Here's a couple of shots.

Just so everyone is aware
the knife for the Junior award will be specifically made for the winner
The junior who wins this award will be able to choose the handle material,spacer material,etc just as if he was ordering a custom build from me.
I am working on grinding the steel as of this post and will send away for hardening and tempering to wait for the winners choices.

The winning knife will be in a slim handle full tang design such as the one shown
