looks like he doubled up in November...   Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | ||

Looks like you're trying to take your business away from Cattle producers. Nice hogs and deer. I'd like to get one of those paint hogs one day. All of the ones I've gotten and seen are the regular dark gray/black variety. | |||

Last year only a few hogs were taken and they were all a dark brown. In March we went down to fill the feeders and the hog sign had suddenly become huge! Two weeks later we came back and the hogs had destroyed one feeder, and knocked the other two over. 15 bags of corn gone in 14 days. So I took the wrecked feeder home and didn't fill the other two up till a month before deer season. This year the hogs are commonly seen in the daytime where before we had to hunt them at night. There are also a lot of black/white pigs and I saw one of the brindle marked hogs also. I normally don't shoot at the hogs till after the rut is over but when there are a lot of them your trigger finger takes over. Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational. | |||

This year I have been using my 308, 20 gauge slug gun, my 270, my 44 magnum carbine and my 35 Whelen. They all work if you hit em right. Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational. | |||

Congratulations on some nice hogs. I'm glad deer season is over, so I can get back to some real hunting. | |||

Deer season is a distraction from hog hunting and it is during the best hunting weather. Christmas is also a distraction but I see another trip in my near future. Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational. | |||
