Quality Golden Boy time
Quality Golden Boy time
Went for a walk through the woods this afternoon and had to stop at my favorite tree for a little photoshoot.
Some of you may remember this gun, I refinished with Tru-oil and found some amazing color and grain under the factory poly.
Makes me smile every time I see it!

Outdoor photo shoots with beautiful Henrys (and their fine wood furniture) are always fun!
Thanks for bringing us along with you.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Great pic!
Just don't forget it or it might wind up an enigma like the Winchester 1873 found leaning against the tree in Nevada a few years ago!

Thanks buddy!
I definitely won't!
But, true story, I found a old single shot 12g in these very woods as a kid.
Still have it, been out there long enough the wood was completely rotted off and I can't make out any markings at all

Cool find - PM me a pic sometime !been out there long enough the wood was completely rotted off
Yea as a historian and 'relic hunter' I find the story about the 1873 found in Nevada interesting but In spite of all the guesses about it I don't think it has been out there more than 50 or so years - or it would have been in much worse shape.
Reason is I know people who own 'original' 1873s (as well as other vintage rifles) ,shoot them frequently and still hunt with them so it IS possible this was being used for hunting and left against the tree after a deer or elk kill and simply forgotten.
The vintage round of ammo found stuck in the stock recess is also not an indicator of anything as it could have simply been in there all along - and never discovered.
There is no doubt it has been out there a long time but not anything near what has been suggested.
