Since I retirement, my husband involves me on these expeditions as his partner. We have climbed the New Zealand Alps for tahr, stalked the elusive mountain zebra in Namibia, patiently sat scanning for deer in Oklahoma and hunted wild hogs in Texas, among other adventures. It’s not often one sees a battle in the wild. One late fall afternoon offered a front row seat to just such a battle. Frequently, the winner of a battle is clearly the winner. But this day, the winner was actually the loser. Let me tell you the story of my eight point buck. This hunt took place on the 4-D Ranch. Our friends, As we were escorted to our blinds, I thought about how Mr. and Mrs. G. are such great hosts that we look forward much I love this part of the hunt. There was an air of to each invitation. These holidays are as much social as they mystery awaiting me. Whatever happens, I am always are about hunting.

Another buck ambled into view. This big daddy had an eight-point crown of antlers. As I snapped photos of the newly emerging male, he strode from the shadows into the bright sun now even lower on the horizon. I watched as the newcomer went directly to the other buck. This second buck looked like a better trophy. Taking my rifle off safety, I aimed into the glowing western sky. The light of the bright sunset was too intense. I knew I couldn’t be precise and decided that patience would be the key to success in this dazzling light. So I waited. Then things got more exciting. Instead of joining the first buck in browsing, he snorted a challenge and quickly sprinted straight toward him, and a serious fight broke out! First, the eight-point buck struck his foe vigorously on his skull with the full force of his eight points and the speed of his body. The strength of the blow reverberated through the air. It took my breath away. Again and again they rammed each other. First, they lowered their heads, and bowed their knees. Then, with boundless energy and strength, they rushed straight into the other one’s dropped head. They kept butting each other on the head. Their gyrating feet on the dry ground scattered dust into the air. Over and over, they hurled their bodies toward each other. As their heads and antlers met, the crashing echoes caused me to wince. With each contact, they had begun traveling more to the right until they finally were in the long shadows of the brush and trees nearer my stand and away from the bright sunset.

(Chuck) Buck, 78, February 6, 2015, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Born May 13, 1936, in San Diego California, to the late Alfred and Ida (Shapter) Buck, Chuck was a man of deep faith. Chairman of Buck Knives, Inc., Chuck personifed the warm family tradition of the American knifemaking company he headed. He was the third generation, following his grandfather, Hoyt Buck, who made his frst knife in 1902, and his father Al Buck. Afer his discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1961, Chuck learned the ins and outs of the knife business and was there when Buck Knives, Inc. emerged. Within a few years, Chuck was named corporate vice president for manufacturing. In June of 1979, Chuck became president of Buck Knives at age 43. He was later inducted into the Blade Cutlery Hall of Fame in 1996. Chuck handed over the business to son, CJ in 1999 but remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing. Chuck's determination, faith and passion touched the hearts of many and his legacy is one that will continue to guide the company through many generations. table of contents 04 NEW PRODUCT PREVIEW 06 ABOUT BUCK our knives 08 HUNTING 28 FISHING 34 TACTICAL 42 SURVIVAL 46 RECREATIONAL 54 EVERYDAY 500 CB PEARL DUKE 66 LEGACY page # 69 accessories / other 70 DISPLAYS 71 SPECIAL MARKETS 72 SHARPENERS 74 BUCK GEAR 76 BUCK PRO STAFF 78 SALES TERRITORIES 79 ALLIANCES & INDUSTRY PARTNERS www.Facebook.com/BuckKnives www.youtube.com/BuckKnivesTV www.Twitter.com/EdgeOfALegend www.Instagram.com/BuckKnives CHARLES T.

  • Newsletter Volume IX
    Olde Towne June 2018 Post-Dispatch Volume IX GREAT KNIFE STORIES IN HISTORY AMERICAN CUTLERY RENAISSANCE American Cutlery is now known as the finest in the world, rivaling the cutleries of Seki, Japan, Solingen, Germany, Toledo, Spain, Maniago, Italy and others. As we discussed in Newsletters Volume III and IV, American Cutlery was borne out of the English Roots in Sheffield, England. For much of the 18th and 19th century, if you had a quality knife, it was probably made in Sheffield. That began to change in the late 19th century when John Russel built the Green River Works and created the largest cutlery factory in the world. As we moved into the 20th century, many fine cutleries rose to prominence as they attracted high quality cutlers as immigrants to the new world. The industrial revolution propelled men with great ideas who were driven to succeed to build cutlery empires; some of which can still be seen on the landscape of American Cutlery today. But there was a dark era on the horizon as the 20th century came to a close. The last quarter of the century saw great change and consolidation in the industry. Western Cutlery teamed up with Coleman (the camping equipment producer) and then somehow veered into Camillus. Schrade had to fend off a hostile takeover in the 80’s and ended up with an identity crisis. Marble’s had been the gold standard of fixed blades and decided that moving production to China was somehow a good idea. Meanwhile in Europe, the same trends were happening.

  • Trophy Hunting by the Numbers
    Trophy Hunting by the Numbers THE UNITED STATES’ ROLE IN GLOBAL TROPHY HUNTING 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We undertook a study to determine the impact of American trophy hunters on wildlife in other countries. To conduct this research, we examined wildlife trophy import trade data obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS). Between 2005 and 2014, more than 1.26 million wildlife trophies were imported to the U.S., with an average of more than 126,000 trophies every year. Most originated in Canada and South Africa, but other top countries of origin included Namibia, Mexico, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Tanzania, Argentina, Zambia and Botswana. Trophies of more than 1,200 different kinds of animals were imported during the decade studied, including nearly 32,500 trophies of the Africa Big Five species: approximately 5,600 African lions, 4,600 African elephants, 4,500 African leopards, 330 southern white rhinos and 17,200 African buffalo. The top ten species imported during the decade were snow geese, mallards, Canada geese, American black bears, impalas, common wildebeests, greater kudus, gemsboks, springboks and bonteboks.2 The top five ports of entry for wildlife trophies during the decade were: New York, NY; Pembina, ND; Chicago, IL; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; and Portal, ND.3 These ports provide an entry point for the trophies, which should interest local lawmakers concerned about trophy hunting. The African lion is listed as Vulnerable on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN Red List) and Endangered and Threatened under the U.S.
