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 from Nebraska. Glad to hear from you.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome, from Nelson County, KY. What county are you in?
Re: New Member From Kentucky
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.

Re: New Member From Kentucky
Good deal. I'm in between Bardstown and Etown, so not that far from you. No personal interest in garden tractors, tho. To each his own.
