i got stopped by the police 3 years ago, they asked me what i was doing on the land that i had permission on
told them that i was doing pest control but not shot anything, then they asked me about my knife, told them i had a good reason to have it and why i needed it. they said why if i hadn't shot anything, told them it was for gutting but they didn't beleave me.
