Balog,
I'm heading off to the Border Patrol academy sometime soon, don't know when, they'll call a couple weeks before I am to be at my duty station. When I come back 5 months from then, I don't know where I am going to be(they'll tell me when they call me to say when to be there). I may be gone in two weeks or it may be another four months.
akaMAc,
I prefer my case, long thin blade, I also carry a Cold Steel Gunsite Folder and it works for the carotid pop. I already carry a Taurus .357 and two speedloaders plus the cylinder full of PMC 158 SP's, one of those utility folders with screwdrivers and such, a motorola radio, sometimes a GPS, the Cold Steel, a pocket full of tie strings and drag ropes, a couple leads, plus like today I had to bulldogs on leads as we went for about a 10 mile hike...
twoblink,
Cool, may have to check one out.

Oh I left out one part of the story, about 12:30 this afternoon a guy had a pup on the ground, the pup decided to start a pack of javelina, which even the broke dogs do at times. Well we ended up putting a bunch of staples in a dogo catch dog. The guy hollared into the radio we had hogs bayed without seeing them. The dogs got dumped and things got real hairy. Now the guy made some mistakes, but he didn't have a gun, so his dogo comes out of the brush with a javelina attached to his head and neck, he grabs it by the back, drags it into the open and kills it with a knife. I was pretty impressed them things can nearly turn inside their skins. One little 30lb javelina whipped 3 dogos pretty soundly, I thought they had a real bad hog and turned my two pits loose, but the thing was dead before they arrived, or I would have had a mess. If I had to choose between fighting a 300lb boar hog unarmed or a javelina, i'd take the boar hog everytime. Those little suckers are like getting in a fight with the guys from a ginsu commercial.
The dog is ok, just probably a little sore tonight.
