    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/

  1. Years ago I found a simple deep fryer recipe in an outdoor magazine. Cut the breast up into strips, put them in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk, leave in the fridge overnight. Beat up a couple of eggs and dip the Turkey breasts in the eggs, then dredge them in good quality seasoned bread crumbs giving them a coating. Deep fry and enjoy! Al
  2. I do not take any Hens but have no problem killing Jakes or older Toms. Al
  3. After watching Shoots100's videos hunting with a thermal scope I could not stand it any longer and decided it was time for me to give one a try. Did not want to go overboard because for one thing I will not be using it a whole lot and I like to give it a try to see if I liked it. If I fall in love I may upgrade down the road. I wanted something for my Remington 597 22 mag, it is my go to rifle for varmints here on the farm and has always did it's job out to 150 yards or so. I looked over some entry level scopes and read a pile of reviews and decided on trying a RIX Storm S2, one step up from their entry level model, it should be just the ticket for what I am looking for. Mounted it up on the Remington and charged the battery, now I will wait until I get some good weather and get this rig sighted in. Al
  4. Congratulations, way to go! Al
  5. I try to be where I plan on setting up before daylight. Al
  6. Congrats, nice bird. Al
  7. More proof for the need to abolish the department of education.
  8. Took my pup Airedale Ruff for a walk in the woods and he found himself a small antler, been doing just a little rudimentary training shown in some youtube videos and it paid off. Al
  9. My two Royal Palm gobblers, the hens have been laying and one is setting on a nest, it will be interesting to see if she hatches them out. Al
  10. I have collected a few bows down through the years and all of my archery equipment is what most would call vintage, it all works well for the shooting I do, the newer compounds hold zero interest for me. I still have my first new bow bought mail order from Cabela's back in the late sixties, a Bear Super Kodiak, it is the one I have used and shot the most and is my favorite. It remains is in pretty good condition and I still shoot it well. I still get my bow license but I have not bow hunted in quite a few years now, I do quite a bit of target shooting in the summer on nice days. Al
