If I'm after a pig I won't go any earlier than forced. In the mornings I will go as quietly and early as I can hoping they are out and will stay out.

That said have killed em with everything but a spear and knife and the easy way now is wait for dark and pull out the thermal. And that said... saw a boar the other day around noon cutting across the neighbors oats patch...

Cool rifle. Good shot. Great coyote buzzard feed there with that boar. Now go shoot one you can eat.




rost, What thermal are you using right now?

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

Nice oinker. Looks like that rifle put a few curls in its hair.

Could you see yourself living in Texas?? I never been there. I’ve heard the people are nice there. About 30 years ago I went to a dance in California and danced with a petite young lady that was from Texas. I told her I thought everything was big in Texas. She replied she got there too late!!

Nice people and all, but Montana beats it cold, in more ways than one. I wouldn’t live there, just not enough trees on the mountains or water in the streams…

It's one hell of a drive across that sumbish from El Paso to Abilene and then to near Texarkana.

Especially after having driven 700 miles from the West Coast the night before.

Worst part in the 70's was finding out they still had dry counties and whole cities..............and Blue Laws too.


The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
