I dunno about man-cards & lattes & stuff... I just know that by end of March I'll be ready for a 4-day hiatus from squirin' The Redhead around... I have NO idea what rifle(s) I'm a gonna bring... prolly the 375 Ruger African and the Quigley 45-110, as I've heard that 270 bullets just bounce off them South Texas pigs...
So you are coming then!

Have you tried asking for an unpaid leave of absence?

I did see a juicy looking 7x57 Ruger #1, the other day... Who is flying in, and needs to borrow a rifle?

Oh Bob the weather will be warm and dry so see if the rent convertible corvettes

Great idea. Can I get one in red or black rather than those Puerto Rican pastel colors you love so much?

I would Dan but if we got pulled over and the cops saw all your bling, they'd take all our cash.

Ok just got off the phone with the owner and yes a vast majority of the exotics on the list are there. As for the caliber minimum you are free to use a .223 etc. if you like. Again these are wild pigs and if not hit right will run off in to the thick TX brush and it will count as a kill. The owner suggests an ear shot but you guys know with a quality bullet placed right you will have pork.

Anyone going to hunt with one of the Lyman Mini Sharps in 38-55 . Just one beautiful single shot rifle.
