Had the opportunity to be afield this weekend.

Saturday eve, a bit before dark a sounder of hoglets came in. I picked a good one



Ear-holed him @ +/- 175 paces.

The sounder took off, but one tarried too long.



Center-punched him @ +/- 190 paces.




Sunday eve, set out again. Nailed this boar early.

Just before dark a fair buck stuck his nose out of the scrum.



all in all it was a fair weekend..





ya!

Doing your part to contribute to the ammo shortage I see. Congrats and nice "chootin'". Hard to believe no knives in any of the pics.

Dusty:
Those are beautiful smoke poles.
Damned nasty looking pig though.
Not many bucks better than that one either.
You're doing so well maybe you should buy a
lottery ticket.

Nice "collection" Geedub, although it hurts me to see you hunting with such homely rifles.
Y'all stay safe. They are not doing a very good job of it just to the south of me in El Paso.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Cool

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.

Glenn I used to say this on all your earlier post, but I'll echo it now.

Nobody has more fun!

That must be a C-Grade 700. Nice rifle.

Of course the Blaser stutzen is a nice rifle too!

Geedubya, your posts are amazing. The photography, the knives, the kills, the rifles, the libations, the cigars, all are exquisite.

I'm 60 years old and I want to be you when I grow up! Seriously, please keep it up. God bless Texas!
