I was planning to bring plenty of Becky Hopefully I won't drop a bottle this year. Scratching my head a bit on rifles. I had been planning to stalk pigs with the 1920 Savage, but if you can only hunt from blinds, mostly near dark that could be problematic. Ditto the Sharps. I have two illuminated scopes in QD mounts for picatinny rails. I have a 6.8 and an AR-10, so they may get much of the work. buzzworm boots and ear plugs are probably a good thing to bring...

I wanted to hunt with my bow but after all the shooting start they will be squirrely. Really don't care if I kill a hog as long as I get my picture taken with Popeye the trip will be a success

Really don't care if I kill a hog as long as I get my picture taken with Popeye the trip will be a success I suppose it is time for the disclaimer. Feral hogs are smart. You cannot fool their nose and they don't return to the same area for days after they've been spooked. They are nocturnal by nature and when they move...they move.

Dan...finding RT prices to S.A. at around 325.00, a good price.
I'll book Contessa and the vehicle soon. I have them both on price alerts now. I just need to find us a vehicle where you don't have to blow into things to start the engine.

Bob, Im probably going to ride down to the ranch with EdM. So you wont have to mess with me again. However, as Ed gets to know me on the trip, I might need a ride back....

Your company and sense of humor made the long drive much shorter.
Ed's new Prius looks nice. See you there.
