Not sure I remember what I paid, Sam. It belonged to my aunt, I bought it from her in 2001. Drove it from Portland OR to near Milwaukee in 3 days... quite a fun road trip.

APDDSN0864,Is her pig as big as the one you missed at Charco Largo, 2-3 years ago. he looked like a Hippo, still laugh about that one. Rio7  Ed MISSED one?  Not only did I miss it, it was slowly walking from right to left at about 50-60 yards, out in the open, right at dusk, and I was resting across the corner of Blue's Jeep hood. Shot right over it. Realized later that I had been shooting another load and had not changed the aperture sights back to where they belonged. Missed more than one, fact...   Now, I double check zero before I hunt anywhere. Ed

...You call your wife "Killer"? Nope, "Killer" is the lady who lives on the ranch across the road from us. Now 77 years old, she didn't start hunting until she was 65. She has taken a couple of muzzleloader CO elk, more Texas whitetails than I can count including a couple of 150 class 10 point bucks, and untold number of hogs. She will wait until 10:30 PM, after the nightly news, dress in her camo gear, grab her Marlin 336 in .30-30 with a 4X Nikon scope, and go hunt hogs until the wee hours. I gave her the nickname "Killer" after she killed five hogs, each over 200lb with five shots, in one night. All head shots. She would have killed more, but her husband (now 90) had only given her five rounds. Ed

Son and granddaughter tending to their swine yesterday. Was over there yesterday morning and helped him butcher one hog. That girl is damn good help while butchering! She even is a good coffee fetcher!!! ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/Mobile%20Uploads/image_296.jpg)

Great that she doesn't run off and hide when it comes time to butcher something! Speaks well of her upbringing!
