Yes on the grizzly hunt. I plan on testing out my 270 grain hand loads out of that 375 Ruger. I'm planning on shooting a couple of eating size porkers. Then, I hope a big boar comes in so I can shoot it thru the shoulders--- I want to see what that Hornady bullet does.
Plus I got several boxes of 300 grain Hornady factory loads as a back up load.
Bob I used the 270 grain Hornady basic bullet on a lot of plains game in Africa, it performed flawlessly. Wouldn't think twice about sticking a grizzly with it.

IMO---444 Marlin is a big bore, just like the 45/70. The 45 Colt I don't think so.
It's hard to pick a bad bullet in the 375-----they are just so dang big.

Im thinking my 7x57 and My FAUX Ti .223. May even bring my muzzleloader. I dont think anyone has killed a pig with one yet on the Texas hunts.

I have been considering my muzzleloader as well. I have never slapped a critter with it. So I am down to my M94 45 Colt throwing 260 gr Partitions, my old M77 35 Whelen throwing 225 gr TSX's, my Browning M71 Carbine throwing 220 gr Barnes RNSP's or my 416 Rem M70 throwing some old .049" jacketed Barnes RNSP's. I will likely bring three along with a proper handgun. Why not???

Along with a yearly pig hunt there should be an ice fishing get together. That could be fun. Sometimes I hate raising fish that feeds the world, they determine my schedule. But its important so I keep on trucking on.

But its important so I keep on trucking on. I am in. Now retired I need to ice fish around my place in north Idaho. Arrange a trip and I am sure folks would go.

I appreciate the offer, when you want to come up and get some 'buts or rockfish you let me know. Oh yeah, salmon too. I have fished Henry's lake in Idaho with a buddy of mine. Got a nice cutty there. Idaho was cool. This is my current coozy I used on NYE. My buddy had it and I used it when we used to hang out. He actually lost it out of the back of his skiff and it washed up on the beach in front of his house 6 months later. He gave it to me before he left.

It wouldn't be this year, just an idea for the future. At one time some guys in Alaska talked about arranging a Campfire Caribou hunt, but I don't think it got anywhere. Think the logistics and potential liabilities limited the interest. A fishing trip might be more do-able, however.

At least initially I'll probably hunt with Dad's Model 94 in .44-40, which he converted from .30-30 many years ago. It has a receiver sight and I'm told shoots well. The front sight is plain black though, so I need to change that. Maybe borrow some neon day-glo nail polish from Ingwe, to make it show up better against a black pig...
