    I'd say if you're worried about wind you are too far away away and should get closer - its called "stalking" and its a very underated skill that is way easier to learn than making wind calls!

    What was wrong with the aus 8? It's definatley nothing flash but should be a serviceable stainless and should still hold an edge as well if not a wee bit better than the 1075 in the opinel.

    Thanks for the suggestion Hermitage. I did have a look at TradeMe yesterday but it's an option I'll try and avoid. Might traumatize the more sensitive students.

    Do it if it is a cheapie scope that you dont care about. Dut if it is a good one, dont. You risk leaking out the nitrogen inside, then it is going to fog and/or erode coating of the glasses inside....

    A soft-hearted friend of mine catches rats in a small cage trap then releases them a km down the road. He says its not unusual for them to die before release. Stress maybe?
