    Dug up a couple other pics, some of these are prototypes I was asked to evaluate. . . I've narrowed it all down to the far left and the middle right. The K.O.S J 450 hybrid is the far left , I love the steep angle, steeper the angle means deeper holes with less circumference which means less digging which means faster intervention and that to me is a good thing.

    . The shovel closest to the camera is K.O.S. J-450 hybrid. The one behind it is a standard K.O.S. . The hybrid is hiding , but the spade is a K.O.S. rubber d handle, and I carry the both of them when I go digging. . A close iPod the top of the rubber handle on the spade. Saves shoulders and elbows loads and loads of unnecessary aches and pains.

    " I hunt them a few times a year in my off season" , ok well beef up your amount of time researching and see how your results play out. lb for lb a hog can be just as rough and most times rougher than a coon. I'm going to stop now cause arguing about opinions gets nowhere real fast , best of luck with whatever you are digging to.

    I'm saying that a young dog following a scent into the earth has a higher probability of success at finding and keeping its quarry in one place if it has tracked a coon into the earth and not a groundhog. A hog will wall itself away from danger , most coons will not. Groundhogs will dig away from pressure, raccoons will not. A terrier that is a bayer can keep a coon in a stop end a terrier that bays will lose that groundhog. If you are asking who can put the fight to the terrier better in the earth, a ten pound ground hog or a ten pound coon, I would say for sure a ten pound groundhog. But th

    Most of my quarry is Coon , the odd Possum and odd fox but 95% is Coons , theres lots of lads bother with the Groundhogs over here ( USA, Canada ) but to be honest i cant be arsed with them ! dont get me wrong there perhaps good for getting a young dog started but there just not for me "perhaps good for getting a young dog started" how do you mean? Surely a coon in the earth is an easier victory for a terrier than a hog is.

    To answer your question, yes it's good to use nikwax canvas tent waterproof wash in on your carhartts . Give em a wash with soap to clean em first. Then second go round wash no soap, then third wash drop the nikwax wash in with em.

    If you have the time Id like to hear more about the coyote encounters. How are you hunting her on coyotes? How many has she been on, that sort of thing? Would make a great a story/read.

    http://www.wwmfg.com/default.asp?contentID=1141 The rubber handle is very durable and saves my wrists and elbows quite a bit of grief when blasting thru the frozen earth. The rubber handle is replaceable, (though I have not had to do that yet after two years digging) And if you dont trust the idea of the rubber handle you can get the same spade with the regular d handle. Top shelf equipment , well worth the money.
