It's a midcentury Old Hickory skinning knife, ordered by Shapleigh to be stamped with their name. Lots of knife makers sold generic knives to butcher suppliers, grinding companies, hardware stores. Dexters, Russells ect... cast iron cookware companies like Wagner/Griswold did the same, to be sold for less. It's not worth a lot of money, might get 20 to 30 bucks. I've sold the couple of Shapleigh knives I've owned with any old hickory or forgecraft. It's worth much more to you as a cool knife to use, easily gets razor sharp. I recently sold about 50 carbon steel knives, extras from my butcher boxes, still the box is full of my more favorite ones. Kent

Yep it's more efficient in the actual killing, which is the intent. I'm not kicking a bird into the air if I can kill it more efficiently on the ground. Less chance of a cripple and if crippled less chance of getting away. Kent

Almost all areas where the cranes feed, and spend their time in southeastern Arizona are private lands or state trust lands farmed and cultivated by private ranches or landowners. As such, hunters MUST plan to coordinate access with private farms and individuals. If you are unwilling to talk to landowners ahead of the hunts, you should not apply for these hunts. Sounds like it's landowners not land leasers. State law is any land must be posted no trespassing correctly. Kent

Killing stuff isn't a game or sport, it's killing... the easier to kill something the better. Kent

4. Blind Configuration and Hunting Method Placing six to eight hunters in a single blind significantly increases the likelihood of confusion regarding harvested birds. For this reason, Ward’s Outfitters exercised professional discretion to hunt using an alternative method that morning. 7. Season Results During the current season, Ward’s Outfitters clients harvested a total of sixty-eight (68) sandhill cranes. As is customary in guided hunts of this nature, harvest success is not guaranteed, and some clients did not harvest their full legal limit. Looks to me like you had blinds and decoys, were they hunted at the same time and the 8 hunters were overflow and easy money? Of the 68 cranes how many were killed away from the blinds and decoys? Kent

Well the hunter didn't get the idea it would include lodging, dinner, blinds and decoys on his own... regardless of some fine print stating discretion of the outfitter on all points. 350 bucks to be just dropped off and strung out like dove hunting, no amenities, no real effort for the outfitter beyond gas money... is BS. Kent

Classic bait and switch... easy 700 bucks without any more effort, just a couple more guys in the truck. Kent

Mesa... 202 and either Recker/McDowell/McKellips meet area 45 bucks all or nothing, clearing up space. Kent

Pending to who? Kent

I'll take it Kent

Ya, I've done deals here where someone zelled me money, I wouldn't hesitate to zelle a well established member money if it was the most convenient payment. Kent

Hmmm... I'm interested in the Colt peacemaker you have, but don't want to drive for hours to buy it. Hadn't thought about in state shipping, never done it either way. Mr Calhuon, if you think that route is feasible pm me. Kent

pm sent on 2 and 4 Kent

Only way I'd do a shipped deal with a new/unrecognized member is they ship to me first, I'll pay if it's legit. Someone has to send first, money or product... trust goes to the established member. It'll weed them out. Kent

Any WTB offer shipped from a new member is a scam. Only do WTB face to face, unless it's from a well established member here. Kent
