Hello to my old but not forgotten friends.

[model70hunter]

I hope all have weathered the last year ok

Mrs Model 70 and I have been busy since Feb getting the new house built.

We sold our horses last spring. We just sold the cattle herd.

Sold all chickens except 2 polish hens and will get some this spring.

Being in the home beats the RV we lived in for 18 months.

Good hunting news. Last year Mrs Model 70 got a monster 8 point and he is back from the taxidermist.

This year I got a 12 point that will score 180 plus B&C. Hes getting mounted now.

We are at the library so MRS 70 can print some work stuff so Im checking in with all of you.

Just so all of you know I miss all of you. Boonies and no internet. The cell phone doesnt work well for forums.

My only acqusition last year was a 66 no dash in 4 inch. We inherited it from my late FIL.

I want more.

And again I hope all of you had a good year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all of you.

Duane And Mrs Model 70.

Duane, it's good to hear from you and that you are doing well. I know WiFi availability is an issue for you and we miss it when you can't post.

PS: thanks for the kind PM.

Good to hear from you. Sounds like you are having a good time in the boonies. Merry Christmas to you and your wife, and have a blessed new year.

Made my year getting two PM’s from Duane. Duane you have to get some more cattle where they can’t say “he’s all hat and no cattle!”

Welcome back and a Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.

 

[Doug627]

Merry Christmas to you. I have missed you. Keep us informed on your doings.

Good to hear you and the missus are doing well! Eighteen months in an RV would be tough to take for most of us, I wager.

(And I want to know just what those two polish hens are polishing? I could use a couple for my grandma’s tarnished silverware....)

Congratulation on the new house and post some pics of them deer.

Howdy and welcome back. Missed ya'.

Congrats on the house.

For only picking up one new S&W this year, you picked a dandy.

Looking forward to hearing from you when you get a chance.

Thanks for thinking of us.
Sort of blows when the good'uns slip under the radar with their absence.
Wish you and the Mrs. well and Top O' the Season to you both.
