I was pleased to see the four bottles of Rebecca Creek did indeed disappear by Sunday morning. One I noticed even walked over to the officer's quarters...
George brought one up for me to try. We got some good news about my boy Rommel, and decided a toast was indicated

The pigs seemed harder to kill this year I'm thinking I'm going to avoid gay boutique calibers in the future. Also need to see if I can duplicate the "hangfire" of that 99 Savage.
Patrick, what did the necropsy reveal on the piggy that absorbed some 300 Whisper abuse? He *had* to be flexing his abs Lee24-style to pull that off.
It was a fairly small pig. Two shots hit vital organs. The first was a little far back, but did get the lungs, and the 2nd grazed the heart and put more holes in the lungs. Both passed through, leaving exits almost identical to entrance. Little or no reaction to the first hit. I'm not impressed. A couple years ago I shot a similar size pig with the Colt 1911, with the Fed 230gr +P HST's, and it was on the ground immediately.
That's after shooting a doe with the 220 Matchking a couple years ago, and never recovering it despite a good blood trail. Think I'm done with subsonic loads in the BO.
Of course the day before the 99 had a hangfire, which I'm going to try to duplicate next time I'm at the range.
I will have my Sharps next year. Pigs do notice 500 gr flat points
Hey Doc, I can't believe you, bgcatty, and tjm10025 didn't complain one bit about my snoring.
Damn, but I thought it was pretty funny, coming in to the room with my flashlight and seeing you in your bunk, flat on your back, snoring like a herd of wildebeest ...
And wearing a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

The last time I went on a hunt like this, I woke up to an empty bunk house!
You guys were too kind, for sure!

Good exercise, fresh air, lots of laughs, and moonshine. Lots of moonshine.... Actually didn't hear a peep.
Was great to put a face to the name, Paul.
