The folding knife is from South Union Mills and for the price it’s well made and holds a good edge.

Turkey Season 2023
Another spring Turkey season has come and gone and another unused tag added to the pot of soup. I chose to attend three different events in a row this year. Along with other personal activities that took place it didn’t leave me time to spend in the woods hunting. I made it out for one day at the end of the season. The birds were there but just weren’t interested in what I was offering. It was a good day to be in the woods. Hopefully I have better luck for round two, the fall hunt!
Martin’s Station, Spring of 2023
Had a great time in early May for the event at Martin’s Station. As you can see from the photos we had changing weather but no matter what the weather is, it’s beautiful.
