Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2013 24HOURCAMPFIRE HOG HUNT

Some of the pigs won't be difficult to sneak up on and stick. The boar PAMac shot, though, was profoundly offended at being shot with a .300 mag, and if they had been closer things could have been dicey. With an edged weapon you better have a stopper ready for backup.

I will let Troy or Hoghunter4 pack my 416 Rigby with 350gr TTSX's at 2750. Scope comes off easily, with Talley QD's yet returns to zero when re mounted. That rifle and load would stop a Peterbuilt if needs be.

I am REALLY looking forward to this! I ain't the man I used to be, and run out of steam early in the day due to my bad kidneys and pain etc. but for a short while, I am as strong as I ever was.

That is awsome. Thank you, sir. I am getting pretty excited about all of this.

You going to organize beaters? The lodge doesn't have an elephant, but there's this huge yak that somebody can ride. Maybe Bobby.

I've never been to Wilderness, Scott, but I've been around Monterey a tad. Don't remember anything worth seeing much. I'll look for some cedar, maybe we can whittle.

When I was a child, I spake of childish things......

I wil also volunteer my .480 Ruger, which will stop stuff, and carry easier, too, if folks want me to bring it.

Only if there is a lodge and encampment of Massai in the niehborhood. Indebele, Shona and others are not so keen on the idea.

They don't have Massai, but they do have a tribe of creek gypsies thereabouts.

Must be careful on this hunt .

63-year-old John Freddrick Alford was hunting hogs with a youth on private property in Rosewood.
CEDAR KEY, Fla. (AP) � A Cedar Key man has been killed in a hunting accident.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators said 63-year-old John Freddrick Alford was hunting hogs with a youth on private property in Rosewood on Saturday.

At some point during the hunt, the pair separated. The youth saw several hogs crossing a narrow road and allegedly shot one with a 16-gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot. Alford was about 200 feet from the shooter and was hit by buckshot.

He was pronounced dead at a Gainesville hospital.

Wildlife officials are investigating the shooting. No other details were released and authorities did not reveal the youth's age.

And people still discuss the merits of birdshot for defense.

so what are the dates, and deposit etc.

Roger you need to come! March 13-17

correct, orange hat & vest was required last year, and is prudent

Blaze orange is required this year too.

Also, Wilderness has said they have dogs to hunt the hogs. Dogs and spears should compliment each other.

I, however, will use my rifles.

Steve

Dogs........nice!

Definitely gonna Glock one. Dogs may mean knife.....

Wanna use one of my spears George???? Got an assegai and a boar spear.

i am going to make some new hog knifes.i am going to try to make about 3 or 4. will have them with me. ken

Steve, one of these two Rugers might make the trip...

I sure wish Karnis was going to be able to come, and help me show off his handiwork, the 416 Rigby....









I simply MUST use this one on the trip somehow.....
