Has anyone been successful in making contact with Mr. Stoner? I will be in that area hunting after the holidays and would like to swing by, just curious if he holds a set schedule?

It has been a while since I have been on TGO and I did a quick scan of this board and didn't see much. Do any of yall know of folks (or maybe you do yourself) that make kitchen knives? I am looking for hand made chefs and/or utility knives. Flexible budget. TIA!

Tuff Jug fuel can with the non spill attachment. Like it way better than my nato/Jerry cans

The draws are all held on the same day across the state. 1st Saturday in August every year. That includes Dover Camden reel foot etc. Reel foot is the premier public land in west TN. The clubs down there are extremely hard to get into and people have been hunting over there for generations. Tigret out of Memphis is a pretty good. Even if you don't draw a blind for the season you can blind hop. All of the regulations are posted on the twra site. I've hunted all over southeast. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas and I grew up hunting in the marsh and rice fields of south Louisiana from Texas to the atchafalaya. I have found nothing in this region of the country that compares to the flood timber of northern Louisiana and Arkansas. Years ago Louisiana always had good numbers but with weather pattern changes and the amount of water that Missouri Illinois and Arkansas all now hold its not the same. Outside of reelfoot and private land I've hunted...West Tn is no Arkansas but it's not bad either. I'll blind hop old hickory for fun once or twice a year but other than that I exclusively hunt in Arkansas and make a trip to my friends family land in Louisiana every year. Old hickory glory days are well in the rear view mirror. If you don't know anyone that hunts out there, all you can do is get out there and blind hop. Maybe get at the launch and ask someone if you can tag along. Get involved with the local DU and delta chapters in those locations. good luck to you

Nice write up! I have a pretty decent collection of schrade waldens myself!

It is photoshop. Trust me. May be true that glock has a ss 9mm coming. But the FACT is that THIS photo is fake.

I'm tired of the cheap, universal boat covers from basspro/etc. anyone know a place in gallatin or Hendersonville that does custom boat covers?

I had always heard it was the three step rule. It may vary from state to state, I have lived in TN KY LA and AL so I can't remember where I was told this. You have to have multiple steps to load your gun. Best way is to keep the gun and ammo separate, not within reach while driving. If you have single cab PU then keep the gun with a lock on it.

The more I read, the more I think I'm just going to get the gun refinished. A good friend of mine suggested sending it to Coal Creek. Any suggestions in nashville area instead?

This is a knife a good friend of mine's father made me. I love everything about it. He has also made me a few leather sheaths for other fixed blade knives. As for pocket knives, I have a benchmade, kershaw, gerber, etc, but I have always been partial to Schrade Waldens. My grandfather and I collected them from when I was very young

I have my grandfathers colt commander with the satin nickel finish. It has some pitting, and I was wondering if anyone had ever found a person in the Nashville area that will do refinishing/blasting on it. Honestly, I don't even know if its even worth trying to refinish, if it would do any good that is. Thanks in advance.
