Went hunting one day last week, didn't see a single deer. Some days are like that. Hunted this season with my old Winchester 308WIN, carried an Uncle Henry 127UH with me on this trip. OH
Beautiful rifle and Scrade. Inherited an 88 in .308 as well and yet to make it to the range.Went hunting one day last week, didn't see a single deer. Some days are like that. Hunted this season with my old Winchester 308WIN, carried an Uncle Henry 127UH with me on this trip. OH
Old Hunter
dang that's some sporty shooting from an 88 (or any other lever).
Wow! Good luck. Thats a huge buck.
He’s still around...just need to find him.
Love that Cannady! Have been keeping an eye peeled hoping to find someone willing to part with one since ordering or buying a new one is no longer an option. Would be a great addition to my B&T collection.Went duck hunting with my son and a buddy yesterday to greet the New Year. After being blown out of a deer hunt last week by a cold rainstorm, I was greeted with scattered clouds and 60° !! The ducks were sunning somewhere else. I may head out tomorrow for the last few days of deer season. in the blind yesterday - my Case 048 slim-line trapper and a Daniel Cannady small game knife:

Awesome!Headed out last Wednesday night for our annual "Order of the Hog" hunt which is hosted by my brother in law. He is on the board of the Christian Outdoor Alliance based in Texas. Great organization with a great leadership team. We had good success this year on a ranch located about 20 miles north of Laredo. Regardless of what of how many we kill the majority of the fun is in the comradery.
Arrived at the ranch Thursday. First hunt that afternoon I'm sitting in my blind enjoying the warm weather (got up to 93 Friday) and admiring this Case Tested hunter while passing time waiting on a hog or javelina to step out.
Here's a scenery shot, no sizable trees around, just slow rolling hills with lots of mesquite and cactus. You can see the feeder 150 yards on the right.
At 6:50 PM this old solitary boar stepped into the road. Neck shot at 125 yards and he never took another step. I'm shooting a Remington in 300 blackout caliber. I really like this caliber, it exceeded my expectations on every kill. Very accurate and light recoil. If you use high quality supersonic hunting ammo (subsonic drops too fast for my uses) and as with any caliber have good shot placement it will drop em at 200 yards or less.
Back at camp. I'm 6'5" so he's a fairly good size hog.
Friday I didn't see any hogs or javelina on either the morning or afternoon hunt but lots of Whitetail deer were hanging out eating our corn and taunting me while knowing I wasn't permitted to shoot them. I had the pleasure of watching a big 10 point buck come out right at dark, his rack was wide and tall, heck of a trophy buck!
Saturday morning was uneventful until 9 AM, a javelina boar steps out at 75 yards, another neck shot with an immediate drop. 20 mins later another one comes out at well over 300 yards so being they have poor eyesight and the wind was in my favor I ease out of my blind and walk down to the feeder. I'm at 210 yards now. Take a standing shot using the feeder leg as a rest here he lays.
Back at camp with the pair.

I know they are a nuisance to a lot of places but I am a bit jealous of you guys that live in an area where there are hogs to hunt. Just gives a person another species to pursue.
