Us Texas boys know eventually we'll come face to face with a Chupa out in the woods. My chupa gun would be my 257 Roberts with 100 grain NBTs. If I thought a pack of chupas might be in the area, I'd bring my Sig 556 with 65 grain Sierra gamekings.

What would you take out in the woods for the chupacabra?

Chupacabra pack - Packs of Chupacabras?!

If they are anything like wolves, Pack numbers could be up in the hundreds!

Sooner or later Chupacabra triva will come up in even casual conversations! Think we at AR should take this oportunity to prepare ourselves. We should,at the least know,how many Chupacabras it takes to fully stop a 458 Magnum!

Be careful. Chupacabras bleed like the proverbial stuck pig.

Hence, I was not able to show this photo in color as it was way too graphic. I generally "clean up" the scene before tripping the shutter, but I did not want to mess with this mangy 'yote as it was in bad shape. The other side probably wasn't as bloody but was devastated by the mange. But a 150 grain Sierra stopped its suffering...

Scott,

I have one of those too and that is what I would take. I love mine, great rifle, how do you like yours?

Probably some Malox, or maybe an AlkaSeltzer.

HC,

Not only do you not seem be able to add any thing relevant about guns, hunting, reloading, or posting pictures, but you can't even do humor right.

Perhaps you might consider starting over, with a handle something like Caca de Zopilote Viejo. It might be a little less embarrassing, and for a short while you might even garner some credibility.

Best

I've had it about 30 days. I love it. Mine has a Millet DMS 1x-4x 30mm scope with a lighted circle dot reticle.



I shot this group first time out. The rifle is more accurate than I can shoot with a 4x scope. The reticle dot is 1 MOA at 100 yard. The other group I shot was similar. Two holes touching but the 3rd has 1.5" away. I'm pretty sure if I had a higher power scope, it would shoot even better.



This is also my Zombie gun for that day when the undead take over the planet

Scott,

Nice!

I haven't scoped mine yet, it just has the factory red dot that came with it. So far it has accounted for one crow, handload with a 40gr Hdy V-Max. I probably will go to a heavier bullet like your 60 grainers for Zombies as they are quite a bit bigger than crows.

Cheers,
Andy

Geedbuya: I really like your comment about the Old Buzzard Crap. But how you gonna kill a chupa cabra with a bullet? I always thought it took a wooden stake. It is interesting, if anyone cares, that a chupa cabra, in the most used term refers to a vampire, but literally translates to a sucking goat! In Venezuala, they use the term chupa sangre, which refers to a blood sucker, like Hugo Chavez. Just some Caca de Viejo, I felt I had to write today.

Jerry

looks like nancy pelosi to me, hopefully somebody did shoot her

I think I'll borrow some of Dad's old equipment

Chupacabra can't be killed with firearms fired by mere mortal men. So caliber doesn't matter.

If I was going out specifically for Chupacabra as you have indicated, I would use an elevated blind, de-scent and bait the area and make sure I had a still camera, video camera, night vision tranc darts, spare darts and a good transport cage and previously arranged plans with a facility and professionals that can handle this extremely rare incident. And open a new bank account for my credits and rights$$

Not that you asked, but if I were simply hunting and I ran into one, I would mark the area with my GPS and come back with the above gear and plans!

For Pete's sake guys, hunting to kill an animal thought to be extinct? If they were yotes, have-at-it! I'd use grenades on those varmints! But a Chupacabra....??

I don't have all that equipment so a dead Chupa will have to do for proof. Plus, everyone knows the Chupa has magical powers and can never be taken alive.

Trust me, it doesn't take much to spark the interest in a research biologist to loan you the gear! Especially if you offer joint credits! But if you would rather shot to kill rather than dart to bank $$, then I can only wonder??

seriously? this whole thread is a joke. Chupa sightings are nothing more than a dog or coyote with mange or a coyote dog crossbreed. We're not talking Bigfoot here.

Bobby kind of looks like the one I shot with my 416 taylor. A 350gr speer at 2450 does them in well do.

I saw a nice 4 bore at the gun show last week.
That would be my choice for a chupacabra.
You can never have too much gun for one of those varmints.
But do I have to load silver bullets? Or would carving a cross on a lead slug work? We need to find out before going afield.

Well in that case, may I suggest a dertfud mueruh 8.5X75 Mag.?

You guys are 180 wrong on this. You need an old Mexican witch.

Hey Scott-

Speaking of Bigfoot, I got a story for ya. I know of a guy here local, claims to have killed not one, but two of them back in the 70's. He did alot of fur shootin' back then, when there was money in it. Him and a couple of his buds were spotlighting one night and saw this critter out in a wheat field. Thought it was a bear. Shot it and when it ran off it ran like a man. It gave them the heebie-jeebies, so they waited untill light to go down in the brush looking for it. He went creepin' into this plum thicket and there wasn't one, but two of them in there. Claims to have shot them both, a male and a female, with his 44 mag. Said he got scared because they were too human like and he thought he would get in trouble, so they buried them.

I don't believe a word of it of course, but if you want some interesting reading just google up Bugs Hale and bigfoot. You will be suprised what you can find on this "story'.

BTW, this supposedly happened up here in the TX Panhandle.

I have never raised this flag. JTPinTX, this does not apply to you! But rather the guy making the claim. I haven't read the story so there may be some answer to this but "why not just dig them up"? Simple enough!

Why not dig them up?

Because the feds came and made him go show where they buried them, they went and dug up the bones and the feds confiscated them. "the Government" has them now. Its a conspiracy, don't ya see?

Here is the story, or at least parts of it:

Damn Feds! The broke into my backyard and swiped my Kangalion too!

No Chupacabra in this neck of the woods. Too far north.

There are a few West Virginia swamp bastards, though, a few hours south of here. I understand they are actually pretty closely related.

Since swamp bastards' preferred habitat is culvert pipes in remote areas, any large bore wheelgun poked into the end of said pipe should do quite nicely.

Is it a "West Virginia swamp bastard" or just a "swamp bastard". Perhaps it's fore-title depends on where it is spotted i.e. A Norther Georgia sighting may have folks referring to it as a "Northern Georgia swamp bastard" etc., etc. Here in California we have a mysterious varmint called the "San Francisco blue bellied gizz suckasourous". However once you enter the county of SF it is simply referred to as a "floater". Was just curious if the name was indigenous?

Could be my bad.

Since the only place I've ever experienced them 1st hand was West Virginia, that's what I've always called them. I didn't know that the swamp bastard's range extended south to northern Georgia. They must be more plentiful than I thought. First time I ever heard one splishing and splashing through the water in the culvert pipes was in the dark (they are predominantly nocturnal, I guess) of Greenbrier County as I awaited the first gobbling tom of the morning. Stood my neck hairs on end.

What's a swamp bastard look like? Inquiring minds want to know.

As described to me by some close West Virginian friends who hunt bear extensively with hounds (many times into the wee hours of darkness) a mature male swamp bastard will go nearly 6 feet tall. They have a long tail, walk on their hind legs and sort of resemble a monkey. But they are not a monkey.

Here's the only half-decent pic I have of a swamp bastard head mount. It's really a poor mount due to the semi-smiling, friendly look on its face. When, in reality, I've been told, swamp bastards have quite a nasty set of both upper and lower canines and aren't shy about using them. They will take a bear hound if given the opportunity.

Well that looks like a Whahoo! The South end of a North bound deer. At least that's what they call them around these parts. Damn things are frightening. They have been spotted just west of the Sierra Nevada's and around the June Lakes area. They aren't known to dwell in pipes or coverts but rather prefer dense groves where they can hear intruders in time to make their get-a-way. I would have to conclude that the Swamp Bastard is directly related to the California Whahoo! No doubt in my mind! The whahoo has a pretty impressive set of fangs and from what I understand grows a single horn (kind of like a rhino's) as it gets older. I know there's a picture out there, I find it and re-post with it. This thread is starting to give me the Jimmies!

I had not previously heard of the Whahoo. However I've spent very little time in that area of the country. Sounds like a regional variation or sub-species of a swamp bastard-like critter. Does seem odd that (if there are any number of culvert pipes in that area) they do not take to inhabiting culvert pipes. Swamp bastards to a culvert pipe are kinda like rabbits to brushpiles in central Appalachia.

I did a little research and came up pretty empty handed. I did learn that it's Wahoo and not "Whahoo". The Bridgeport Inn was the only know facility that had a Wahoo on display. I learned from a friend that it was stolen, removed or simply lost. There is a rumor that the FBI took it. That's where my money is. Oddly, I had a photo of it I took several years ago and some how it has disappeared as well. This is really starting to give me the creeps! I still believe the Swamp Bastard and the Wahoo are related and that their habitat preference is based only on what their habitat can provide. I may be wrong on this, but the likeness of the two is unreal. I plan to keep looking for the photo and am determined to find one somewhere. Until then I can only offer words of my memory and hope we can conclude this thread with the photo and some dialog and new understanding regarding these...? Will have to find a sub-species name

I went to Laser-Cast bullets for projectiles.
AKA the "Silver Bullet Company". Their cast bullets are harder than woodpeckers lips, and they have a slight silver content. Bhn is about 21 so they set up but penetrate deeply.
