Damn Tn! Good lookin' tool. That thing is quite the pigsticker! I'm never going to try and steal your goodie bag. :wink:

Nice Bayonet! :icon_thumright:

That would take a lot of explaining around here to be able to carry that legally. The police would not like me caring this around the parks. This is what I use and dont have to explain a 8 plus inch knife. It only costs about $15.00 and it is tough!

It is a very formidable tool and a comfort to carry. With an underhand throw and a half revolution at ten feet it will bury 3 to 4 inches in a tree. I fence in Sabre so I never worry about someone wanting my poke. Of course unless I am out gunned. Not happened yet. :thumbsup:

Point being its a really good digging tool and similiar to what the old time Cw guys taught me to use. Have hunted with peers and they all came back next time with one. They dont last long on that site I posted and you have to keep watching for them.They have them now though.Very comfortable scabbord for your belt and when you kneel down the blade hangs well and comes right out. Cuts a very nice plug that is easily replaced.
I hunt private land so can carry pretty much what I like. I carry fishers snips for any roots.
Might work for you depending upon how you hunt. I have flipped many a bullet and coin out of holes with it.

Yeah I was not thinking parks. I still think if they saw the use,,,well maybe not in a park. Good back up if you hit the fields and mtns. That is a very nice tool you have by the way.
I started out digging with an old enfield bayonet from the army surplus ,,,duhhhh

could be a very handle tool to have !!

Memorial Magnet,

I use the same tool and love it! Some care must be exercised due to the sheer destructive capability of the blades on that thing. But I have found no hand tool that is as handy or as effective for digging plugs. And at $15, it is a bargain as compared to some of the treasure digging specific tools.

Rock on and happy hunting, :headbang:
