Have we met? You sound like a guy I met about 6 months ago when I bought an ATV trailer from a Craigs List AD. ?

I like long walks in the woods killing stuff that is legal to kill.
I look forward to meeting like minded people that enjoy talking about stuff I like to talk about.

Quick facts, with pic's from 10 years back, to current with my grand kids: BBA, Midwestern State University. I have had a job since 16. I'm 55 years old, held my current job 25 years at Entegris, an advanced materials company. 6', 180lbs. I have hunted and fished all my life. I make my own things, build my own buildings and do my own remodel jobs at home. I am a conservative Republican and fully support President Trump. I believe in God and that Jesus is his son and my personal savior. I don't go to church. I drink cold beer in moderation and Margaritas in excess. I'm licensed to carry and do. I back packed 38 miles in Colorado, four nights. I love to snow ski. I have a fantastic, smart, educated gorgeous wife. I have three beautiful daughters, all grown, doing very well. Two are college grad's. I have a granddaughter, and a grandson that I adore. I loved my last dog so much I can never have another. I love guns and everything about them, with a real appreciation for the machining and tolerances that go into a fine fire arm. My dad was a cop until his retirement. We were allowed to fight kids that called our dad a pig, and did. My mom worked in the elementary school cafeteria that I attended. They saved and paid for my college education. I love most people. Everyone I meet starts with a perfect score and I desire to be friends with everyone. Cross me or have ill will towards my family and it will be clear that we're not friends. This is the best time of life, it's like being a teen ager with $, a car and your own place.

38, 6'7". I'm gainfully employed with an engineering firm and have worked in the forensic engineering field for 14 years now. Married a beautiful woman and we have 2 kiddos (9 and 13). We started a family without a bucket to piss in and have made decent lives for ourselves. My passion isn't hunting or fishing, it's automobiles, but the outdoors comes in a close second. I'm a fairly laid back individual, I don't usually mince words, and I don't have much patience for people who spout opinions as fact. This site has a large knowledge base with some great individuals willing to impart their ideas and opinions in a helpful manner which makes it easy to keep coming back.

I'm 48, also married up, two boys I'm struggling with in today's world. I grew up in Northern Vermont-cold-real. I like a person, not so much people. Prolly why I like it down here. I married a Texan, oh and I got here as fast as I could. I also might be the shortest guy on here at 5'8. I played basketball in my early days, I was quick, Could handle the ball like it was a part of me, and was cocky on the court as much as I wasn't off. I was the "blessing", my brothers are 6 and 10 years older. My Dad had shot enough deer in his life to take me out without the need to shoot anything. I loved being quiet with him and sneaking around out there. I don't take a real deep breath unless I'm surrounded by trees. I miss being cold or cool in the mornings. A cup of coffee when its cool is just better. Also trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up.

I'm 50 5'6" 215 so I think I take the title for "shorty" on the THF. I'm African American, and probably the darkest person most people have ever seen. I grew up in Choudrant,La a town so small that all we had was basketball baseball and Ag. Ag was our claim to fame as we sent teams to Kansas City every year. I was a ace baseball player until I couldn't get my mind right and make the grades. I grew up hunting, fishing trail riding and beagling. Went into the Army 4 months after my 18th birthday. I probably set two Army records while I was in. 1. The most deployments in the shortest period of time... 5 from January 1990-October 96 with 14 months in Korea and 36 months in Panama thrown in for good measure. 2. The longest time as a PFC without getting busted...2yrs and 8 months.
Married a lovely latina from Panama and we have raised two wonderful children. I left the Army in Jan 98 and took a while, but in 2001 was hired by Travis County as a CPO. Been with them ever since. Eligible to retire in December. Don't drink Don't smoke and try to be a good role model for young men to follow.

In my defense, I gained a few pounds during lockdown. Ara-Cee cola and moon pies will put the weight on a caucasion.

40 years old, married with two kids (11 and 15), born into a gear head family and didn't learn to hunt or fish until my late 20's, early 30's. As a career, I conduct origin and cause investigations for fires & explosions. The most interesting location for a fire I've investigated was at an oil production site in the middle of the Sahara Desert in Algeria. A sandstorm blew in and I couldn't get out via plane, so I was told that the only way out was by means of an armed Algerian military escort transporting explosives across a portion of the desert. The entity I was working for had some kind of security contract with the govt. military and they got me a seat in the back of one of their trucks which escorted me across the desert to another airport. Never having been in the military, I thought it was pretty awesome at the time but looking back it probably wasn't the best idea. A fun memory regardless though.

According to some of the PM's I have gotten over the years. I am a SOB, Know it all, have sh*t for brains, if I don't know what I am talking about I should keep my mouth shut. Oh, an a oldie but a goodie. You are real mouthy sitting behind a computer. Probably quite a few more that because of my age I can't remember.
