History Found In the Field
Never heard of bridle hooks. The trace chains were hooked to the ends of the singletree then went forward to be supported by the backstrap and on forward to be connected to the hames which were fitted and lashed to the collar with a "hame string" a leather strap with a knot in the end. I think I...- tarheel

now considered useless traits
With the prevalence of GPS, Google Maps and smart phones, the ability to read a road map or chart has gone by the wayside for most of our youth and even some of our older citizens. I'd guess that 90% or more couldn't point to the North if their life depended on it.- tarheel

What food do most like, but you can't stand?
I'm surprised some of you folks don't starve to death. It's obvious that a goodly number don't get and never have been hungry, I mean gut aching hungry. And what does texture have to do with whether or not one likes a certain food? Must not have been breast fed. The only thing I don't like...- tarheel

It's paid off!
Sounds a lot like me. Still driving my '95 Dodge and intend to run it into the ground. My first truck was a '55 Chevy shortbed 3/4 ton with a worn out 235 in it and I surely didn't pay more than 200 bucks for it. I found a wrecked '61 Impala with the 348 porcupine motor in it for 100 bucks...- tarheel

Free .270 brass CANCEL..THEY’RE GONE.
Neighbor, if Bullhead backs out I'll take them. I'm trying to get a friend set up in reloading on a small scale. -
Controversial Recipe Ingredients
Those crappy, seedless excuses for watermelon that they haul up here from Mexico aren't suitable to be fed to the hogs. If one were fortunate enough to live where the growing season is long enough to grow one's own melons they would surely be more in favor.- tarheel

Remington "Sportsman"
My Dad bought me a 16 bore Sportsman 58 in the late summer of 1957 just in time for dove season. That fall I harvested my first deer with it, the first time I'd ever been deer hunting and the first deer I'd ever seen in the wild. That 3x3 and the mental vision of him coming through the blackjack...- tarheel

Things A Man Has Gotta Do
I do the sewing in our house; my wife's mechanical skills top out at a cigarette lighter or door knob. My machine has a broken nylon gear which I must replace soon before catching up with sewing jobs.- tarheel

What is ammo going for in your areas?
Ammo sold on a statewide hunting forum here is running right at $2.00 per round for non-magnum centerfire rounds. How does that compare to other areas of the country? -
Old car-what is it?
Buicks always had three, sometimes four chrome circles or ovals on the front fenders, dependent on the year and model.- tarheel

RL17?
I load it in my .280 and 30-06's with acceptable success. The more progressive burn rate is supposed to keep pressure spikes down some. If I recall correctly it was formulated primarily for the short magnums.- tarheel

Duck hunters robbed
I have a large extended family, the majority of which hunt, and have been going afield with a firearm for 66 years. Several have been cited by wardens for marginal reasons. I myself have been cited twice by zealous wardens who had their own interpretation of the laws. Both cases were thrown out...- tarheel

Duck hunters robbed
In NC we have the odd game warden who thinks he's Wyatt Earp and would cite anyone with a loaded gun after legal shooting hours or if on a road right of way, both acts which are against the law but they won't cut anyone any slack if a bit slow to unload. Other wardens are more tolerant but...- tarheel

Prayers for family and friends today.
Sorry to hear this news, prayers offered. I've driven Highway 218 many times when going down East and it is a crooked piece of pavement with lots of hills and requires your undivided attention from end to end. It's a dangerous road and due to Union County's congestion along US 74 has become a...- tarheel
