Pygmy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Congrats to you and your Dad, Joe !! Fine bird !! Good, solid 3 year old with those spurs.. Looks like he was suffering from beard rot...In another couple months he'd lose a few inches of beard in that discolored area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Swinging hammers or running cows are both tough gigs Joe, keep THAT in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regulat0r Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 congrats to you and your dad but for everybodys best interest, please do not pose for pictures with the barrell of a shotgun pointed at your dads neck. one of the first rules we learn is to treat every gun as if its loaded and to be mindful of muzzle direction/safety... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) congrats to you and your dad but for everybodys best interest, please do not pose for pictures with the barrell of a shotgun pointed at your dads neck. For everybody's best interest as you say...., open the image and observe the barrel is clearly pointed over his dads shoulder and NOT at his neck. I don't mind folks promoting practical gun safety, but lets not exaggerate, or try to make something out of nothing, when the proof is right before our very eyes. Congrats to your Pops Joe!
