I purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.

Hands up, I know nothing about archery, but I found a discussion about the Dukes of Hazzard bows at www.archerytalk.com. They said, "The original Warthog had a deerslyer [sic] 300 sight on it."

same here, except I was 14!!

Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago

Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

I think I'd have to agree. Maybe you'll like the vocals more in this one. It was on the soundtrack of the 1991 Steve Martin movie 'LA Story', hence the clips in the video. Enya - Exile

The countdown of the 100 greatest songs by Irish artists started on the radio today, and they got halfway with some of the songs I've posted recently already appearing. It'll conclude next Friday, and I'll let you know which ones made the list. In the meantime, here's a song by an Irish artist who wasn't mentioned in the build-up to the poll. Cathy Davey - Reuben While I was looking for the video above I came across a version in Irish (as Gaeilge) with a couple dancing. It's fun.

Yes he did win Michael Keaton

I'm watching the one where Lulu is kidnapped and the Duke Boys are set to rescue her! ( right now Bo's unconcious in a trailer heading down hill!)

Watching dirt bike races right now. They are racing in Detroit.....Lions Stadium

Since December 31, 2023 - he was 84.

I've never heard or seen this. I'll definitely be looking for it! I'm looking for an Irish beer around here, that I like! LOL!

Awesome, I will look that up and see what it looks like. Just picked up a 4 pin sight from ebay and it looks good but im not sure exactly if that one is it either. They made several different deerslayer sights depending on the year I think. I just picked up another bow from ebay with a different deerslayer sight from the two I have. At least I will have a few to choose from

I found them when I was 9. TNN 1996.

It was One Armed Bandits. Repo Men was 3rd and Mary Kaye's Baby 4th. But they aired Repo 4th and Mary Kaye's Baby 3rd. Swamp Molly is actually the 2nd CA filmed episode. Luke's Love Story is the first CA episode. But they aired Swamp Molly first.

Hey, I just thought of something! It's not important but I think it would be interesting..... WHAT ARE YOUR DAILY/WEEKLY DOH WATCHING HABITS? I watch TDOH every night when I go to bed until I fall asleep. Sometimes I'll watch it at other times during the night but 99% of the time, it's at night before I go to bed. It calms me and makes me feel good and it's easy to sleep like that. I might watch some a little earlier tonight! So....what are your watching habits?

Rashers are what the Irish call slices of bacon (back, streaky etc.) that you'd have for breakfast, so they're actually mentioned twice in the fillings. Unless it's related to breakfast, bacon in Ireland usually refers to the boiled meat served in dishes such as bacon and cabbage.

That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little. I was just thinking.....was Repo men the first episode? I thought it was " One Armed Bandits"....????......just asking....

We were 14 and not old enough to drive, so DOH on a Friday night was the big time!

Back when the show was airing it was so popular that that it caused Friday Night Football attendance to drop across America. Nobody had VCRs so you only had one chance to see it and nobody knew DVDs would be invented. My girlfriend knew that we wouldn't be going out on any Friday night dates!

It's hard to believe you and John are the same age Roger! That's wild! You're about 6 1/2 yrs. older than me! I turn 61 on Aug. 31

I was born the day John Schneider turned one week old so we both will be 66 next month. I was in the USMC stationed in North Carolina after getting out of boot camp in South Carolina. A lot of young Marines were talking about it so I watched it in the recreation room. I think it was Repo Men episode but I'm not positive. Been a superfan ever since. I'm glad it came out after boot camp so I can say I actually saw a Georgia episode on the night it debuted. (the ep, not the series). In boot camp we went 3 months without TV, radio, or a telephone. That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little.

I wish I could help you. It's so awesome you are replicating it. I have an Excalibur Axiom crossbow but have only shot it twice. Looks nothing like anything on Dukes. It's good to hear from you again.

I watched the A-Team save a mission yesterday. And at the end I saw something amazing. Miz Tisdale hugging Mr T. So cool! I wonder if he told her she had to take a number to get a hug.

After a last minute invite, I got to walk in the St Patrick's Day parade today. It's fun being in it, but it does mean that I didn't get to see many of the other participants. Luckily, the weather stayed dry, but it turned cold afterwards. Combine the cold weather with the busy pubs and I decided to delay my Guinness.

I'm thinking that I might try a Guinness today. I mentioned ale above - have you ever tried it, Hobie. I see they sell Smithwick's in 14.9 oz cans in the US.

The General Lee is the STAR of the show.

Here's another Irish musician who remains a perennial favorite. I've just realized that this song is slightly older than me! Van Morrison - Moondance

Hazzard County is a great PLACE to live.

Emma Tisdale must be Irish then.

I'll try to keep up the Irish songs until St Patrick's Day, but not all of the great artists make songs with single word titles. Here's a great song about resilience and unsung heroes. It seems to have been an inspiration to a lot of the commenters on YouTube. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue also spent some time as a judge/coach on 'The Voice UK' alongside Jessie J, will.i.am and Tom Jones. When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power The Script - Superheroes I'm now going to break the one word rule because I wanted to post a second song by The Script as we used to sing it in the choir. This one is about a man waiting for a girl to return to the corner where he first saw her. Paradoxically, given the title, I find it rather moving! Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

Awakening was great! Beautiful music and women! Nothing beats an Irish Babe!

that one or Magnum PI's Ferrari 308

JUG of shine! Happy DOHD everybody!

the singing is so/so but I like the music! very....upbeat! I liked this! She's pretty good looking! ( She'll never beat Emma Tizdale but still...... )

Also Mr. Pruit's bull that chased Rosco and Enos!!

I can't post it here because Tír na nÓg is three words and this is One Word Song Titles. Celtic Woman aren't mentioned much back in Ireland, I guess because we have such a wide array of other great Celtic music to choose from. I see they're playing your state a few times in the next couple of weeks - are you going, Roger? Here's one of their songs that does have a single word title. Celtic Woman - Awakening

I'm about to watch Jeopardy and the news and then......you guessed it! I'm about to speak with the spirits in a little bit....... 2 Milwaukee's Best Ice that I have left! I'll probably go out and get more tomorrow! I hope Garrett's ok and I sure hope our supreme superior leader is doing well! I miss both of them! In the words of Roscoooo P. Cooootrane! " Good news good news! " I've just discovered, when I went to get my beer from the frig....I've got not 2.....but 3!! ( I will have to go out and get more tomorrow though!! .....to prepare for DOHD and the weekend! )

The Dukes Of Hazzard is QUITE good.

Dukes is all about KINFOLK.

I haven't been here in awhile. Life happens and so I quit my job and started my own business. Anyway just recently I was told of a museum close to where I live that was like the Boars Nest. Literally 20 minutes from my house out a little 2 lane road was this awesome spectacle. It is Cooters garage from the California episodes and it is very much tv accurate. To the RH side he has built a screen accurate Boars Nest and when I say it is screen accurate I mean down to the original juke box and pinball machine. Boss's office has the pool table and the big sword fish on the wall. I can't figure out how to post pics on here since I'm just not great with that kinda stuff but I got a clip of the inside of the Boars Nest and several pics of the outside right down to the red Hoggoco gas pumps out front. The guy has a daisy jeep and a patrol car. The general lee is in the paint shop and he also has a Cadillac and a wrecker in the works too. It's hard to explain in words just how awesome this place looks but it is really cool

.....and eXit that way too.

Went from 60 degrees yesterday to 20 degrees today. I finally figured out why some people spell it possum and some people spell it opossum. The opossum is Irish.

Home Tom Jones reference.

Did you mean to put that in your Minor Mentions thread?

That's because you have! And we are lucky to have you. A lot of people hang out a few days and then we never hear from them again but I can tell you are different....and I mean that as a compliment!

The address is Kingston GA. May be able to Google it and see if anything pops up. It's just off a tiny two lane road. It's oddly placed but still the coolest dukes place I have seen. He is setting up shelves and display cases looks like to show his collection of dukes memorabilia as well.

Wow MaryAnne, you got skills!!! Thanks for posting that. Big redneck that I am, I would have never noticed the other General parked there....not when there's a cool tractor distracting me!
