Small Hatchet Skills

Wonder if car driver got to keep the ax.

 

They're good for game prep also before field dressing.

 

I always keep a hatchet in my truck during hunting season. Why dull my knives cutting through bone when a hatchet can do it easier and faster?

 

That should be an ad photo. Very nice.

And, I never knew anyone who actually successfully squirrel hunted.

 

I do a lot of things in flip flops, have been know to split a round or two in them as well.

 

It's definitely more challenging to hunt squirrels with a 22 rifle rather than a shotgun. It also improves your shooting skills before deer season.

 

Could be a risky move.

 

Unless you are wearing steel toes a missplaced axe or maul swing will take off a tow regardless of flip flops, boots, or tennis shoes.

 

Yup, I had a buddy back in Boy Scouts who split his big toe in half, despite wearing work boots. Needless to say he wasn't allowed to split wood for troop campouts anymore.
