Texas Hogs & Exotics

Just back from a hunt in Mt. Home, Texas. Hunted with Craig Anderson of Heaven's Doorstep, a chap I located thorugh this forum.
I was meat hunting and took a red deer cow and a feral hog. Good experience and would recommend him. He has, in addition to hogs, black buck, red sheep, red deer, fallow deer, and axis deer. I enjoyed my time with him.

To respond to the previous inquiries.
Pictures: never mastered the technique of getting them on but will work on it.
Contact: Craig Anderson, 830 329-6250
Guns & Bullets: I took two with me, not because they were the ideal but beause I like to use them. My Bowen enhanced Ruger in 45 Colt which I did not use because I was not able to get close enough. My Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70, using my handloaded 300 grain Noslers, took both critters.

IMHO the .45-70 is ideal on hogs.

Juan, thanks. If I come down to your place I would like to bring the Marlin with me. I looked at the other thread about the "honey hog" and was quite impressed. That's my kind of pig. Good on ya.

You dont need to bring your marlin guide gun as i have one and one of my phs has another ,this kind of hogs are very common in my area my son spotted two last week but he only had his ruger 22 ,and they run away .Juan
