The WAGNER,S.D. boys are haveing a shoot this sunday the 17th. My card says Election of Officers [us NE boys are safe] and Jim L. says to put on your under-armour and come Shoot- bring your lever action and try out some new targets. I'm thinking I will try to go myself, bounce

I would consider it but I still have tags to fill. The BP season just started. Saw a lot of Mule Deer doe this afternoon and I could have filled with them. I may be silly but I might try for a large Mule Deer Buck this year.
My borther will be there. I hope he kicks your butt.

That should not be much a challange for him as I'm pretty wusy!!

[dakota]

Wish I could make it. I would like to try the 45-90.

[bounce]

You probibly will, just to gang up on poor me. I was thinking Jim L. may have something fun in mind with the lever guns?

[dakota]

I got a couple of them now too. The 32 is more ready than the 30-30. I need another mould for 30 caliber. I have ordered and received a bunch of bullets for the 32. Still need a mould for it.

Far as I know the Wagner camp is strictly Black power Unless a special exception, don't know if levers will have that exception? dought it!! But your .32 was made for it...smiles

Weather is allways a factor in going to Wagner a long with many other interfearances But Phill S. just called and said he was loading amo to go if weather was ok, So looks more like I will be going as this means he wants me to drive...LOL Got myself in a big job Sat. if weather is ok too and Hope it will get done in one day? If not I may not be able to go as haft to finish it Thanks to my Aunt & DD & Ob, This Combine thing is geting crazy All kinds of old junk ones are headed for my yard for restoration parts

[dakota]

Those old combines --- I suspect they are for more blinds???

[dakota]

I might as well try that 32 with some BP. It was bought for the intention of shooting at matches.

[bounce]

It's one thing leads one to another thing till your wandering just what your doing with the combines, But I'm getting in deep LOL after I get what I want in parts I will need to call the scrap man. I have two I want to fix up for parades or shows a 1939 IHC model 61 and a 1953 JD model 25 This one for my 1944 JD B the other for ether my 1939 F-20 Farmal or 1929 McCormick Deering 22-36 Now you Know Dakta & deer blinds would be a better use, maybe?

[dakota]

Hunting season is still on and will interfere with going to this match according my brother at least for him. I hope you have a good turn out.

Dad had a F-20. He was a farmer, though he had been to school for mechanical engineering. He had the F-20 souped up, he did that with other tractors we had also. He had one of the first combines in the area. The neighbors had thrashing machines. It wasn't long before Dad was doing 'custom combining' for the neghborhood. He pulled his Case combine with our H Farmall. The combine had a V4 Wisconsin engine to power it.
The passing of the old thrashing parties --- that really is/was sad in a way. The neighbors all showing up. The huge amount of food they consumed. Everyone knew their neighbors -- pretty good thing.

Know what you mean in your last two lines, Doing what I am Brings it all back just a little as it does bring friends together some neighbors some not. Feeling lucky as good friends at Lynch NE have ben holding a small threashing bee each year..... and the food is just as it was back then. but the working part is a little lighter as they threash 60 bu a day verses 3,000 bu My dad main job back then was a scoper, load wagon. drive it to granery & scop it off and get back in time to not shut the rig down. 5' 7" 140 lbs but that man could scope more than I & my two brothers, I have His & his dads threashing rig is a 1918 model but was new and hear in 1917 a 28" Advance Rumely & Oil Pull 14-28 Tractor
