Small world. I grew up in Flintstone and do most of my hunting there. Do all of my hunting in Allegheny County.

[Happy]

Killed a few birds down that way. Used to hunt green ridge with a friend of mine.   Haven't hunted there in years but there used to be a lot of birds there.

If you can kill a bird in green ridge you can kill a bird anywhere. I avoid that place like the plague.

Ha! Dealing with idiots can be a little tiring. Had one fellow follow us around and on three different set ups he tried to sneak between us and the bird. He busted them every time and finally I had had enough I went stomping down towards him and he took off over the ridge. Never wanted a load of rocksalt in my gun so bad.

I'm Steve and the last Original Widowmaker I believe.  I'm 57 and quit my job last October and moved 2 1/2 hours away and took another job so I'm setting up house and trying to get my shop moved so I can start making strikers again.  For those of you that don't know me, I've been known to make a few strikers every now and then.  I have woods 20 yards behind my back door so I'm looking forward to trying some new ground this year.  I plan on hunting West Virginia and Ohio and possibly a road trip to Alabama if the stars align.  A buddy is working on a lease down there and is trying to arrange an exploration hunt.  Hope this works out.

Have heard nothing but good things about your strikers Steve. Gonna get one of your black locusts one day soon I hope. Goodluck on the new hunting grounds.

[West Augusta]

Hey gobble, what part of western maryland are you from? Garrett co here. Can be in Pa in 10 minutes and Wv in a half hour.

I used to fish Deep Creek a lot when I had my bass boat and lived in Fairmont.  I just moved to the western part of WV 5 months ago.

[Happy]

Spent many days in Fairmont. Worked all over Wv. Spent a lot of time on the coal mines as an electrician. Blacksville, Bailey, and 84, just to name a few. Then spent about 4 years in the wheeling area at McElroy and Shumaker. My family is originally from the Summersville area in Nicholas co.
