If you have hired a outfitter I would be checking out the area that he hunts. A outfitter is not going to be happy if you want to hunt a area that he is not familiar with just because you saw a great buck in a different area.

I got bit by the MS updates and it reset all my settings on my laptop, I can now see it. I looked around a little and found that a similar sharpener is sold by Oregon, now if that is the same manufacture that makes chains who knows? But I can see the idea behind it, perhaps it takes the burr...
