Just got back from hunting central Florida. This was my first hunt for hogs. I'm hooked! It was HOT and the second day it rained about 6 inches so it became a swamp with all of the requisite mosquitos. Thanks to those that recommended the thermocell. I also used the Off Clip On with great success as well. After helping a friend spot and stalk within bow range of a nice hog, we went after one for me and the muzzleloader. This one didn't see us as he walked along the fence line. He got within 50 yards and made the mistake of turning broadside infront of the CVA Kodiak. He just raised dust as he went straight down. I was using 110 grains of Blackhorn209 behind a Hornady 300 grain SST and sabot. The best part is that I didn't have to clean it until today and the shot was Tuesday. Blackhorn's great stuff. The scope is a Simmons Pro 1X, since the eyes are getting old. If you haven't been to Florida, Osceola Outfitters does a great job of taking care of you and the meat. I can't say enough about Hoppy and his crew.  Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | ||

Nice hog, Larry - glad you had a good time. Do it again when it cools down some, it will be even more enjoyable. | |||

Nice work, Larry! I knew you would be hooked! Welcome to the club (of addicted hog hunters)! Yes indeed that Thermacell is worth its weight in gold!
