Newbie Here - The Firearms Forum

Tnhunter · 01-29-2010, 04:21 PM

N.G. here just wanting to say hello. I'm retired military and still trying to make up for some lost time by hunting and shooting as much as I can. I enjoy deer and hog hunting the most, but always enjoy trying something new as well.

I also enjoy collecting guns, mostly rifles in big game calibers. Back into lever rifles recently and enjoying shooting and hunting with some big bores, 45-70, .444, .450, etc.

Anyway, thanks for letting me stop by and a great day to all !

Welcome, which part of our state do you hail from?

Tnhunter · 01-29-2010, 04:39 PM

Both in the same day, why that's the best of both worlds! Any white stuff on the ground there this evening?

Woke to about 5" this morning, looking at 7* tonight. As others have commented "So much for this Global Warming stuff....!" If only the deer season was still open here.......
