Snakes don't skier me, I LIKE them! I've been trying to post a picture of a 5 foot eastern diamondback a friend of mine shot early Friday afternoon, but for some reason the cell phone pics always want to post upside down from Photobucket. If you look at the pictures on a laptop they're fine; but look at them with a smartphone and they're upside down. I wish I knew why or how to fix it. Anyway, my friend likes snakes too...says they taste good.

Rev, It's 20 degrees here and to be minus 1 tonight, but I got my Bombay bowler ON. BTW a friend of mine used that ammo in our Veterans Day military rifle match 2 weekends ago in a pristine 1908.-Muddy I'll be passing on those temps, Bombay Bowler or otherwise. How'd he like the ammo, though?

You coming down to Florida? Where to?

Here's a nice, young boar my BIL shot the other evening. He was about 120 pounds on the hoof. No grandiose Corbett story on this one: it was taken with a Browning X-Bolt in .308. ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Bobs_Boar_12_21_14_Chassis_zps3cc9c93b.jpg)

So far the landowner on my lease manages to keep them trapped out. I haven't seen a hog on it in two years, though I have seen sign.

You should toss out some yellow acorns and put a game camera if you've seen sign. Bet you get come pictures.

Between us, my BIL and I were right at 30 for 2014. 2015 has started a bit slow, but now that all the hunting seasons are just about over (spring gobbler ends next Sunday), a couple of us will seriously start chasing pigs again. And from all the young I've seen so far, there'll be no shortage. People always know what Fr. Mike is bringing to the church potluck.
