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/

And here we go again! Can you former members just not let it go any leave us alone? Not one thing has changed for me when it comes to this board, I will use it the way I have since I joined. I am here to gain information about the outdoors and share anything that I think that may help others. If I make a post and just one person gains something from that post it was worth my time to post it and worth their time to read it, it is that simple. I am not going anywhere, I like it here just fine and will never join the other board. Al

Lake shorelines are a good source for food as all kinds of edible crap washes up on beaches; Al

Not a whole lot of difference in recoil from my perspective, the 270 lends itself to bigger game hunting. Al

I think this rifle is for someone who lives where owning a semi auto rifle is a problem with the law, this rifle with some practice will throw a lot of lead if that is what you are looking for. It actually has some pretty nice lines. Al

The accuracy is typical for factory ammo and out of the box rifles of that type, I would bet groups could be improved with handloads. I do not think it would ever be what I would call a tack driver. Al

Still holding, nice big one last night!

Checked out Brownville the other day and I see most of the Bucks have dropped their antlers, the big boy they call Vincent is still wearing his rack. Al -
I will always belong to and support the NRA Al

People do have a way of coming up with new actions in firearms, this Alcor Push Button is something different, will it become mainstream? Al

The challenge and the fun, the quest for perfection, rifles, handguns, shotguns, airguns, slingshots, you name it, I just love shooting! Al

To be honest I do not bow hunt much these days, I prefer to hunt small game at that time of the season. I purchased an Excalibur crossbow a couple of years ago to play around with and while I can easily outshoot any of my traditional bows both accuracy and distance wise, I just can not get enthused enough to hunt with it. If I do hunt with a bow it will be with a traditional bow. Al

Much of my bowhunting was done from crude but effective blinds I built on the ground to break up my outline, I also did quite a bit of still hunting with not a whole lot of kills but prefer that method of hunting. Al

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
