    Let's face the facts.............I'm too poor

    Number one, what ever rifle you have take care of the barrel. Number 2, invest in a blueprinting job on you're action.I have finally worked my way up to several custom rifles toped with Night Force scopes. My best return on the dollar has been a 300 win mag in a Sendaro with the Weaver tactical...

    Nightforce or Mark 4? PLEASE help me decide!

    I know this is going to get me branded as a infidel, maybe even a Democrat. I mainly hunt large hogs at long ranges, and very dark conditions. I own Leupolds, NF's, and Horus Visions. The best I have found for my needs is the Burris Black Diamond. The Night Force came in with a nice big...

    Favorite big game bullet -Poll

    For 150 lb hogs and bellow 130 scirocco out of my 6.5 x 284. For 150 to 500 labs 180 gr scirocco out of my 300 Win mag. Very bad results out of my 308 with 175 SMK's on 200 to 400 pounders.

    Canaries In A Mine

    There are no long range hunters around here. Until I found this site I was spending lots of money, and making a lot of mistakes. I don't post much. Not to many people interested in long range hog hunting, and the people around here think I am nuts for buying $1500 scopes. Every time I...

    Rear Bags

    I use the simple neck rest bags you can get at Wall Mart. They are filled with buckwheat seed. They can be laid flat, doubled over, or coiled up like a snake.

    LSR Hog Hunt w/ BB & Phil

    I have taken several Aoudad. Some of the big rams can run around 260 pounds. No matter what size they require good bullet placement. They have to be one of the hardest animals to bring down with one shot, and as you're guide pointed out if they don't go straight down with the first shot, Then...

    Horus Vison Scope System

    I have four of them, and live on the Texas cost twenty miles from the Gulf. They are tortured riding on my Honda. They have been in rain and fog for hours on end. Never any sign of fogging and sometimes we stay on the stand all night. I mainly hunt Large wild hogs. so my target distance is...

    Rifle assembly

    Buzzgun I was a machinist for one of the largest chemical companies in the world for 33 years. Most of my work was on experimental proprietary projects. I have machined just about every metal known to man. Including platinum, and gold. Tolerances of plus or minus .001 were considered a easy...

    Please help!

    Jeremy. Just voted for you. Not only was that a great demonstration of you're shooting ability, but of you're self confidence also. I believe the two go hand and hand.

    Bummer

    A sow has a liter every six months. They can breed at six months old. A single sow will produce 280 hogs in her lifetime. It is estimated that there are 4.5 million hogs in Texas. Here is a picture of one it took us two months to get. He had dug a hole in a small airport runway and flipped a...

    Bummer

    The reason for the 50 yard feeder is we both carry our 45/70's with us in case they hit that feeder. We try and see how many we can get before they make it to the swamp. It gives you a funny feeling when you make a perfect shot on a 200 pounder then he hits the ground, only to stand back up and...

    Bummer

    We have been invaded by Hogs, my partner and I have killed 60 in the last year. After Hurricane Rita dropped 70% of the oak trees in our county it is virtually imposable to get into the woods. We are having to set up feeders on pipe lines and high lines. I have a feeder set up at 50 yards,500...
