Puma "Hunters Friend". Bought it for my first hunting trip after I got out of the navy in late '67. Think I paid $25 for it and takes a good edge. Hard to believe it's been 54 years since I got off active duty. Stood watching a deer drive on a hilltop on my uncles farm in minus 5 degrees below zero weather with a windchill of close to 30 below. All those years working in the enginerooms,pumprooms,and generator rooms really must have thinned my blood out. 4 hours later back at my uncles house working on a hot cup of coffee. Went out later that day temps got up to zero. Back to the farm house. My system just couldn't take the cold. Funny thing about 5 years later back on the hilltop and zero degrees stayed all day. Since I had to unload barges and tankers in all weather my blood thickened up. Now here in louisiana just the opposite. Too much time outside. Last time I went hunting I looked like Nanook of the North. Frank
