Post by Olcowhand » Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:55 pm

Hello from Ky! I'm 62yrs old, retired from dairy farming due to life changing health issues. So now I tinker on people's mowers, RTV's, ATV's and such.
I own 4 Henry's. 1st was a Henry Golden Boy 22 magnum, next was a 357/38 special in blue, 3rd was a std 22LR, long, or short, then this week I found in stock a 45-70 side gate...all 4 levers. Can't find ammo anywhere at the moment for the 45-70, but I'll track some down. My fave to shoot right now is the 357/38. Glad I had stocked a lot of ammo for the 1st 3, as it's so hard to find and EXPENSIVE right now! I have lots of other rifles, I think a total of around 30, plus 5 pistols. I am more a collector than a shooter, but do deer hunt now that I'm not stuck in a milk parlor at the prime deer hunting times of the day. I even have a Japanese Arasaka but never have shot it. 6.5 Creed, B17 supermag, 243, 308, 303, 30-30, a few 22 magnums, std 22's, 7.62 x 39, and others. Just heard of this group from a long time internet friend Dave. Thanks Dave for having me.

Welcome to the forum. Dave shows up once in a while and drinks whiskey with us but not very often.I think he has a love affair with tractors

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.......

Larue county, smack in the middle of Ball Hollow, 10 miles from Hodgenville, 15 or so from Campellsville.
I'm also a garden tractor nut. I have several Bush Hog garden tractors from early 60's to early 70's.
