Carl, I am bringing a vintage Redfield receiver sighted 8x57 custom Erfurt Mauser carbine mildly (due to the Erfurt action) loaded with 180 gr BT's. Seems you and it would be a good combo.

Ok boys just spoke with the Poobah he's in route home from TX and he gave rave reviews to Prickley Pear Outfitters! He said accomodations were great maybe even better than last year,plenty of hogs he killed 2 and could have killed more good size hogs as well He even said they got a Beverly Hillbillies cement swimming pond He's in KS in route home and in a couple days he will give more details and pictures. He did say these pigs are the real deal wild and wary and we are gonna have a great pork filled hunt!

and if you place your shot about 2" below the ear, on a line between the ear and shoulder........ you sever the spine and they drop and paddle. NO TRACKING IN THE SOUTH TEXAS BRUSH AT NIGHT COZYIN' UP TO RATTLERS AND MAD BOARS. Shot this one at 175 yds. plus. Either he moved or I pulled the shot, but I hit him about 3" to 4" back. He ran for about 75 yds. Luckily I shot him just before dawn and by time I got to the POI, there was a good blood trail. If it had been at dark-thirty, all bets would be off. JAPPFT, GWB

Fine shot on a deer, not on a hog. Welcome, GWB!
