Formal Introduction Hello
Hello. I have been here for a little while now but thought I would take the time to introduce myself. The name is Joey, Im 31 years old father of a 10 year old girl and 9 year old boy and live in south Louisiana. Im a Real Estate Appraiser and gun lover. I have always been a fan of the lever gun and guns in general. For years growing up I used a Winchester 94 to hunt with. In the last 7-10 years I got away from the lever guns and started using high dollar bolt and semi auto guns with high dollar scopes....and lots of other things. Basically, without realizing it I sort of sucked all the fun out of hunting. The stuff I was carrying was heavy, expensive and gave me every advantage while in the field....but at the expense of my fun. It took me a while to realize this though. I still have all of those guns....and dont plan on selling them. I still have a love for all guns.
This year though I decided to take it back to my fondest memories of hunting. Me and a lever gun. My memories include me hunting with my father, grandpa and others using one of the old Winchesters. Killed my first deer with a Winchester 94. Those were good times. Hunting season is among us now and I will be taking out one of my trusty Winchester 94s for most of my hunts this year. Dont know how well I will do but I know I will be there in the woods just enjoying myself and showing my son what its like to hunt much like they did for many generations before him. I even plan to let him (9 year old) carry with me one of my 1892 copies in .357mag.
I have met some pretty nice and helpful people here who have talked to me and helped me with different questions I may have had. I found this board to be full of nice people because other boards that I have been on have been more geared towards only the much older rifles and not so helpful for Post 64 Winchesters and others. Thanks for that.
Here are a few of my other lever guns that I have pics of. One of these days I will make my way to the back of my safe and take some pics of the others. I dont have any really rifles. My dad has his dads and one day those will be mine....but im in no rush.
Well if you took the time to read that.....then thanks and Hello.

I agree. We have been hunting for most of his life now. He has killed lots of rabbits and squirrel. He even got him a pretty nice (and fat) fox last year in north Alabama on my dads property.
Been trying to get him a hog in Honey Island Swamp here in south Louisiana. Maybe this year he will get one.
Re: Formal Introduction Hello
Now That! Is an introduction
Good to have you here Joey. I have 2 kids both boys 11 and 9 I take them both out as often as I can. Love the colection of shooters.

Re: Formal Introduction Hello
Well, they even let me on here always going on and on about my Ruger 96's, so they're not too snooty, and when it comes to 'questions', I've come up with some pretty dumb ones, and they don't laugh.Rube Burrows wrote:I have met some pretty nice and helpful people here who have talked to me and helped me with different questions I may have had.

Well, not much, anyway...

Re: Formal Introduction Hello
Joey,
I am in Lacombe, very close to Slidell, just off of Highway 190 (Gause) @ the Flea Market. I am so close to Slidell that some people have told me that Slidell is just across the street.

Hello Joey, it is clear you belong here. I spent some time in 71 at Fort Polk and in Lake Charles. Met a couple of girls named Misty and Windy with a convertible.

When I was not living in Alabama I actually lived in Pine Grove which is right there by the flea market. Small world.

Joey:
Nice collection of leverguns! I especially like your octagonal barrelled 94. Most of my family is in south Louisiana. My mother and older sister live in Abbeville, Vermilion Parish; my oldest sister lives in Baton Rouge.
I don't get down often enough, I really miss the food.

Re: Formal Introduction Hello

Im sure you do miss the food. At least you have huge deer in Kansas....if you hunt.
Re: Formal Introduction Hello
At first glance it looked like my M94 Classic. My youngest sister (also lives in Kansas) was in Abbeville for the Omlette Festival recently and brought back some Boudin and a big bag of cracklin'... Man, that was good!
What I miss most about Louisiana is duck hunting with my Dad near Pecan Island and Mulberry.
Lots of good memories.

Re: Formal Introduction Hello
That 92 with the octagon barrel on it is one of my favs. Its so slick and you can work the lever with one finger tip. Its very accurate also. I have only shot .38 out of it since I have had it but it does really well.
