Interests
Retired now, have a small hobby farm, raise a few chickens and have a small herd of Irish Dexter cattle. I enjoy all of the outdoor sports although as I get older I do not get out much as I once did. I like hunting small game best and I am especially fond of hunting with dogs. Always a firearms buff doing minor mods and smithing to individualize my firearms to my taste and loading custom ammo to fire in them. I also like the shooting sports from competition to just informal plinking and target shooting which is what I do most these days.
I also run the Traditional Working Airedale Message board, http://traditionalairedale.proboards.com/

Democrat Treason

They are trashing this country big time!! Al -
Yes there is, too much lube will cause dents in the case shoulder. I use Hornady Unique case lube, it is a paste that I put on with my finger and spread on the cases very thinly. Al

It may not have been the die that caused the problem, it could have been a flash hole in a case that was a little off center causing the decapping pin to miss the flash hole and hit the brass mucking things up. Broken decapping pins happen and it is a good idea to have some spares, they are cheap. Al

You are correct, the large rod is for large rifle and pistol regular and magnum primers, the small one is for small rifle, pistol magnum and regular primers. I am sure the large rod can be purchased separately. Al

I am looking forward to doing a bit of spring fishing this year, Trout, white Bass and Walleyes will be on the agenda. Al

Just want to add a heads up, I have tried just about everything when it comes to Poison Ivy relief and healing, the stuff below has by far given me the best results. It is a jell wash that is something like lava soap with their proprietary concoction mixed in, picked it up on Amazon and from here on out I will not be without it in my medicine cabinet. Al

I got plastered real good crawling on my stomach through a patch doing a stalk on a Woodchuck, did not know I even went through any Ivy, the next day the rash lit up good. At least I nailed the Woodchuck. Al

I found out Poison Ivy is not dormant in the winter, took down one of my apple trees that was killed by the Gypsy Moths last week. There were a couple of vines of Poison Ivy wrapped around the trunk, I had gloves on and pulled them away from the tree and out of the ground and proceed to cut up the tree using quite a bit of it for fire wood. So a few days ago the itch started on my arms and it was not long before the rash raised it's ugly head. I get a small spot or two on me in the summer frequently but not too bad but this time I got a good dose, the itching will drive you nuts. Bad for a couple of days but pretty well subsided now. Hard to see Ivy this time of year so you have to be careful. Al

Licenses Ditching Plastic and Going with Paper
airedale replied to airedale's topic in General Hunting
We had paper tags for many years and we got along fine with them, I use a water resistant back tag holder and have a license wallet dedicated to hold all the various licenses, so there will not be much of a problem. What I am most worried about is that this new system rolls out smoothly with zero glitches. Al -
The primitive camp above is very similar to the long houses built by native Americans. On the state fair grounds in the Indian Village they have a Iroquois long house on display, basically poles frame covered by sheets of bark. Al

I ended up going with and ordering a new Charter Arms Target Pathfinder, it is a good solid little revolver that weighs 20 oz, it should fit my bill as a trail gun. Should have it in a week or so. Al
