I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the community.

I am a hunter, fisherman, and avid reloader from the south eastern portion of WV. I absolutely love spring gobbler hunting, fly fishing for wild / native trout. I got into reloading about 5 years ago and it's become a great passion of mine. I currently load for myself, my son, and a brother in law whenever he runs out of his deer hunting ammo.

I am currently employed by the federal prison system and have been in corrections for almost 14 years.

I look forward to learning more about the interests I know some about and learning about the hobbies / interests of others that I know nothing about.

Thanks for allowing me to take part in this community.

You ever sawed 6” off of a Winchester shotgun?

Welcome to this crazy place new friend!

ahem, Beans in chili, ice in whisky, like rice, ?

If yer best gal don't look like this, ya can't stay long!

With a vent rib.


Welcome new guy!

Have to ask. You scoped this place out thoroughly and still want to be here? Don’t you get enough crap from the folks you “work” with?

Good luck Pilgrim, and welcome.

84Mtn EER ,

We gon drank tonight - call each other names - you know innernets fighting - welcome aboard ya hillbilly

Takes some thick skin at times to wade through the BS, but one can get some good help or opinions on occasion. Welcome.

Welcome!

HA! I'm first!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GFY Cowboy!

This freak show is the roughest forum.

The sub forums are kinder, and gentler.

Good. Some here need some major correcting. Bring a club to the club.

Ha. Cowboy Tim has probably already done that.,

This is where the chum is chopped.

💔

welcome 84.

But was there no way you could sneak in a "north" in that location? You managed to get the other cardinal points in there.

your line of work is secure here with us. not many wanting to reduce the prison population. the inmates are there for a reason.

Welcome, if you can put up with federal cons for 14 years I'm sure handling this crowd will be easy.

Post pics of something you've done lately or GFY. Oh nevermind, just GFY.

Hurry up Paul, invite him for drinks. 🤣🤣

😭😭😭

Welcome,buckle up and hang on

Welcome abroad ;)Also from WV!

Welcome to the Camp Mountaineer!

Some of the best folks I know are in West Virginia.
The south east is the prettiest place in the country as far as I'm concerned.

PM anytime.

Don't pay any attention to mtboomer.
There's a function for guys like him and NVhntr.

It's the "Ignore" button.
Just ask and I'll walk you through it.

Welcome..............

Corrections huh!????

Nobody here needs correcting, 'cause they're ALL right, just ask 'em!

Again, Welcome!

Can you roller skate in a Buffalo herd?

He'll probably have you on it before them. 🤣🤣

Yeah, you can join Happy Camper's cancel culture ignore and PM Club!
Safe spaces where he doesn't have to be confronted on his BS.

Anybody ever fling their Schitt at ya?

Mtn88, if you can make a few months here, your skin will be tougher than any bullet resistant vest.

The ignore button is for B-Type insecurees

Dontcha mean Boomers?

Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcoming fellas. I used to be fairly thin skinned and I still have some thickening to go, but I think Ill be fine.

In case you wanted to know, No, Ive never had [bleep] thrown at me, but I did get black eyed peas thrown at and on me after being on the job after 2 days. He went to solitary (Special Housing). I also had to deal with an inmate that decided he was going to teach the "dirty south" gang a lesson by putting his own feces in the grits that were being served on the hot bar in the dining hall. It was interesting to say the least. Ive seen several things that most people wouldn't think possible, but with inmates EVERYTHING is possible.

Its good to know theres a few other fellow mountaineers here on the board.

Thanks again for the welcome, looking forward to posting / learning / asking / and arguing some in the future.

Welcome to the fire 84.


No need to pay for the exercise in skin thickening, first ones free.😁

What a harsh thing to say...

"Iron sharpens Iron..." It's the Campfire way.

...into a perfect shank.

Welcome! Gird your loins!

Welcome, can be a challenge but wild.

Good luck to you, lots of knowledgeable people on here, ask a question, you will get lots of answers!!!

Aaaand the first post has me laughing......

Just briefly scanned this thread. Didn't see the most common greeting. So here goes.

I hope we did not "run", this one off. Two, and gone.

Better that they run off early... before the real insults fly.

I got a whiff of a T1-11 SheShed reading between the lines.

Impossible to know about "sockpuppets".

Long time lurker?

Welcome!

Welcome,
It's an interesting place, some good info, and some not so much. Up to you to figure that out.. Stand by for some blasts, but you can return them as well. It's open to discussion... Honest bunch for the most part. Good place to buy, sell, or trade. Those not above board will get called out quickly.
