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/

Some Coyote Decoy Dog training tips form Mangy Dog, his dog is one of the best Decoy dogs I have ever seen.

To each their own but for me I have zero interest for fishing in a hole on a frozen lake in the middle of winter no matter how good they are biting! Al

He and the rest of the libtards that used to frequent this board can go suck an egg as far as I am concerned, today's inauguration was great and made my day and then some!! Al

So long as the snow is not too deep I will continue to hunt small game, we got buried around here and I would need to use snowshoes to get around in the woods, something at this stage of the game I am not too enthused about. I will do a lot of tinkering on firearms this time of the year and I will also build handloads. Al

What time you get up to hunt Squirrel?
airedale replied to Northcountryman's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
I find if the weather is not too bad and snow is not deep they will be up and about throughout the day with peak activity early and just before dark. Al -
Is it the front or rear legs that she is having problems with? Rear legs could be an indication of a hip problem. Front leg-shoulder limping is many times a sign of Lymes disease. Al

She has a pretty nice rack, kind of creepy!

Most of them are here every day, they have logged off and view the board's content as guests. Al

Par for the course!! They are some real beauties! Al

It is a beautiful piece of work for sure. Al

They say we got over 5 feet of snow the last few days, I believe it, been shoveling and plowing non stop. Going to need snowshoes to get around in the woods. Al

Hunting Yotes with the dogs.
airedale replied to First-light's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
I have had my best luck calling in the dead of winter when it is cold and the snow is deep, food is scarce and harder to come by. Foxes and Coyotes within earshot seem to come on the run in those conditions. Unfortunately, these days I myself hate being out in those conditions LOL! Al -
I tune in to the Brownsville channel at night, quite a few interesting behavior observations have been witnessed. I have heard deer vocalization on occasion but nothing like what I heard at Brownsville the other night when the Deer gathered to feed in large numbers. Sounded like a herd of sheep or goats, non stop bleating and grunting. Also so many Bucks have already shed their antlers, quite a bit earlier than last year. Also the pecking order hierarchy, those big guys just give a certain look and get their point across. Al
