Greetings y'all! I've been lurking for a long time and thought I'd finally go ahead join up. I'm a pastor, high school teacher, and an auctioneer. I'm married to a great wife who supports my addictions to Ithaca shotguns and pocketknives. I've got three boys (7, 5, and 2) who are as addicted to shotguns and pocketknives as I am.
I'm not so much of a collector as I am an accumulator. I lean toward all things soligen but I like good pocketknives regardless of brand (not crazy about the chicom stuff or stainless sorry). I have no safe queens, guns or pocketknives, as I use them and enjoy them.
I look forward to learning from you all, and sharing what little I know. Thanks for letting me be a part of the group!

Hello Colonel26 - believe I know you from the Shotgun-World forums - you are a fellow rabbit hunter and gunning man - Welcome!
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Re: Hello from Kentucky
Thank you guys, I'm glad to be here. I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute, but I sure do hope to learn from y'all.
Old Hunter, that's me. I saw that you were here as I was perusing the forums. Glad to see you're here to. I always enjoy talking with you over on SGW.

Man I'm glad to see all these KY folks. Let's strike up some bluegrass, watch the Cats, and do some whittling!

Re: Hello from Kentucky
It's slowly dawning on me why you guys have a banjo player in the band. So you'll have somebody to blame.
