The sad fact is, that just like South Africa, we are faced with the same poaching problems here in the U.S.A.<BR/>My main reason for putting up the fence around the Monterey property was to keep the poachers out and my wildlife safe just as they had to in S. Africa.<BR/><BR/>High fence preserves are coming to the U.S.A. whether we agree with it or not, simply by way of having to preserving our wildlife and natural resources.<BR/><BR/>The real strange part is that the antis seem to focus on the 1000 acre fenced in area and fail to even notice the "other" 26,000 acres which is "not" fenced.<BR/>Strange times which we live inNativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689689976933684301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-303658814562752812008-12-21T06:54:00.000-05:002008-12-21T06:54:00.000-05:00Native,Good morning!Cut and paste this:theraschout...Native,<BR/><BR/>Good morning!<BR/>Cut and paste this:<BR/><BR/>theraschoutdoorchronicles@msn.com<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by. I went to your website, <A HREF="http://www.nativehunt.com/" REL="nofollow">Native Hunt</A>, wonderful pictures and a nice concept. Though many object to the high fence that is now virtually required by any management plan, it good to know that the property is being cared for and nurtured. And in today's harried world, it is nice to know there is a place you can take the whole family to, where there are activities for all tastes.<BR/><BR/>As to the knife. The Model 18 certainly has that attractive hidden compartment aspect to it. It is a great survival tool. Though if I was strictly looking for a fighting knife, I would choose the old Model 1, with the dip in the spine.<BR/><BR/>BTW it's only a Five Year wait on the list for one of your own! <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>AlbertAlbert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-78367455373481894622008-12-21T06:36:00.000-05:002008-12-21T06:36:00.000-05:00Thanks Todd!Don't even ask me how I did it!

I've got Photo Shop and it is so complicated (at least for me), that I just tend to click on stuff until I like what happens!<BR/><BR/>Randall knives have been legends since WWII, and their reputation just keeps on growing. Even today I meet young men who know and appreciate the Randall name. Most though, don't have the patience to wait on the five year back order list. But if you want a Randall, that's exactly what you'll have to wait.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>AlbertAlbert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-30960600281049975472008-12-21T06:32:00.000-05:002008-12-21T06:32:00.000-05:00Hi Albert,Tried to e-mail you back but the message...Hi Albert,<BR/>Tried to e-mail you back but the message kept bouncing back to me.<BR/><BR/>My uncle has one of those knives and I still to this day covet that thing.<BR/>I would love to have one of my own one day.
