New Member From Iowa

Post by Stray Cat » Sun Dec 15, 2019 5:10 pm

Greetings all from Eastern Iowa. I've lived in Iowa since birth and cannot imagine calling anywhere else home.
Raised on a family farm along the Iowa River, when not in the fields or doing chores, I spent more time in the
woods than football fields or pool halls. I began hunting with a .410 Trustworthy, a Winchester 1897 12 ga. that were
part of the family for generations and still are today.

I recently purchased a Henry Steel H010 in .45-70 Govt for hunting elusive Iowa whitetails. I look forward to
participating in the forum discussions and learning more about these fine American made rifles.

Understood on IA being home, Stray Cat. I enjoyed the three years I spent in Ames for one of my jobs.

Welcome to the HRF. I bet that new Henry .45-70 will bring home that "elusive" IA whitetail someday. Best as you continue your time in the woods.

Sure do! Rock this town and many others. I'm a high school graduate of 1978, disco took over most FM radio stations, but never was inserted into my
cassette deck. :lol:

It is a better cash crop than corn too, organic grain farming (weedy corn fields) has been gaining attention here.
