DRSS pig hunt

I'd like to see some pictures and hear a little bit about how the hunt went. What doubles were available to shoot. Next year I'll be a little quicker in getting in on the hunt. Look forward to meeting more of you at the DSC convention next year.

A good time was had by all.
16 hunters had 23 pigs in the cleaning shed. Two or three pigs were lost.
The five hunter group I hunted with Tuesday afternoon brought in this truck load.

Rifles at the shoot were 9.3X74R to a 500 BPE Jones underlever.

The comradery was wonderful and Charlotte's cooking was sumptuous! The guides, Brad, Matt, and Doug took excellent care of us.

Looking forward to next year's DRSS Invitational Hunt.

It was a great time. I did the trifecta, one pig with a double 500 bpe, one with scoped 375 bolt trash, and stuck one. We had great weather, at least compared to 98 degrees in June and snow and ice last January (which I missed). Bob

Hell I second that! Or a group of pairs for each two to hunt 2 on 1 for cape Buffalo. This could be done at Katte's place, or over in Zambia at Bala Bala's Dendro park! Peter Bird and Ray Atkinson did one of these a few yrs ago, but it had to be scuttled, because the gov closed hunting at the last minute! As it turned out, the rule didn't effect the private property hunting, but they didn't know that at the time!

I'm certainly up for one of those type DRSS hunts! ..........

The only excuse for me is: I shot this little boar in the middle of the night, at 1 AM. I forgot my night vision scope, so I had to use Swarovski, which is always in my rifle case.
