I like that kind of hatchet, had one when I was a kid. Still at my uncle's house where I grew up.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Then tell them you ever hurt her..................................... And smile real big! :hmm3grin2orange:
Showed a knife or to also,and how they shave hair!
LOL I never had any trouble with the ones I could see..or could see me...daughter does listen....I always complain about a wimpy handshake..don't trust anyone who can't perform a normal handshake....not enough I showed up at every parent/teacher confrence on an antique Harley..hair...well you know.....in this small town with a semi private school... I was the only one that looked like me in the building...LOL!! Anyway she listens....I've had these 100 lb kids be introduced and about blow a seal trying to squeeze my hand about off!! LOLOL!!! Actually I never had any touble with my daughter...good scholar..hates drugs...don't drink???? not sure on that one......but never came home puking...( I might have...earlier than her age now.. once..or more ..not sure)

I am sending off for a Mahle coated chastity belt for my daughter's first teenage birthday, after that if the boys still persist, then maybe they will like the idea of going to the woods with me and my saws. Maybe ask them to stand in the spot where I expect the tree to hit...of that would probably be safest spot in the woods.
Evening Jim.
Those were always regulated to kindling duty at most camps when I was growing up.
Had I known then....

I think we all catch ourselves saying that from time to time.
I love that sound also but really like the sound of my 12 ga double side by each latching shut even more, that`s a very solid sound. Course I know what that sound means, not everyone would know that sound.

Nope! Not any easier at all! LOL
Had a little fun one time with my youngest when she worked at the town IGA. The stock boy had the hots for her. Till I came in one day when he was trying to flirt with her. LOL I was standing there waiting to say hi,he wouldn't shut up! She finally says hi Dad.You should have seen the look on that kids face!
That was right before I cut 24" off my hair! LOL I was walking away,hear the boy say.....he is your Dad? Sounded a little scared. LOL That kid would do anything to stay away from me any time I went in there! :hmm3grin2orange: On the fun days I would track him down to ask for something! LOLDaughter was not happy with me at all!! Yelled at me that I scared him off! LOL Told her couldn't help it,didn't like him for some reason? Just struck me the wrong way right off the bat? LOL
Love them side by sides! And O/Us too! Love my Red Label 20 ga. !

A gun that I still love and take to woods now and then is my trusty Winchester model 94. What a great gun, does a number on anything it hits.

Ok Ron here is what I found.
Let me know what you think. The "double A" came off the spliter. The "energy" was in a box. Looks like it's missing the back cap???

Yep a good dependable weapon.....I have a somewhat rare version that my father left me..3/4 mag 94 in 32 special...wicked brush/deer gun......it has a brand new barrel but it is for a full mag 94 so it has a useless half hole milled in the bottom of the barrel for the barrel clamp on the full mag. Good shooter... was an old gun when I was a boy...put food on the table 9 months of the year for my first 10 yrs on the planet...beef was unheard of...deer is just a skinny cow anyway.....woods cows we call them up here...LOL!!
Every young guy I knew growing up wanted a side by side IverJohnson Herclles grade double in 12 ga. Thought that would make us a great white hunter...LOL...Got mine at 9 years old, paid a really nice old carpenter friend of the family $50. for it. It was worth 4-5 times that but he wanted me to have it, he had only one daughter and figured I would use it more and take better care of it.
There was a **** load of 94`s around here, every hunting camp had a few hunters that used the 94`s . I have owned more than a dozen of them in many hues from blond birch to darker wood models. Saddle rifles, long rifles, carbines and octogon barrel plains gun, so simple of a mechanism that worked really well.

Funny how that works......my dad wanted a shotgun bad when he was in his early teens......this fisherman in Rockland had a boy same age as my father....they came into to the moring one night, the boy went up bow to get the pendant........never was seen again....my ol' man knew the son well...and after the grief wained the old man gave my father his boys brand new Iver Johnson single shot 12 gauge.....he kept it all his life and used it continuously until it became undependable......my older brother has it now...I will have it for a spell too...when he's gone....it will out last us all....I expect....
