Welcome,
these guys are all friendly,
but they can be an unruly, cantankerous bunch.
Mostly we keep each other in check

Welcome Dusty Texian, I bet it aint so dusty there now. There ae some good eggs here, sometimes Hobie finds an old nest and collects those eggs too. We find out right away that they r rotten. Anyhow pull up a stump and sit a spell. Sounds like some nice shootin irons but did Sen~or Pitchy inform U about PICTURES ? Apparently not.

We got a monsoon a few weeks ago, and we've been getting light rains every morning and evening this week.

Thanks for the photo - especially like the sporter.

Welcome! Sounds like you enjoy the same kind of hunting and shooting I do. I have several vintage Winchesters and hunt each year with them. Today, I had my Winchester Model 1894 38-55 at the range. It was shipped from the factory in 1897. I'll be posting a report soon.

Post by **Old Savage** » Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:21 pm

Well, technically they probably wanted to see pics of your guns.
