Uh, did my USPS worker lose my invitation? Looks like good times, Poobah. That rifle does not look gay, BTW. P.S. Bi maybe, but not gay.

Congrats on the piggies! I've got a hunt lined up starting March 15th.
P.s. My blackbuck was extremely tasty, but not as much as the addax followed closely by the scimitar horned oryx.

You are always welcome here you know that Axis is good eats...how is blackbuck? Mature Blackbuck bucks are usually between 80 and 105 lbs. Their hams, tenders and backstap are prime. Their meat is very dark, like axis or sika. It makes excellent jerky, chicken fried steaks,or butterfly steaks. It can be more gamey tasting than whitetail. It also works well in mixing with pork to make link/pan/summer sausage. The does, though smaller are also excellent table fare. How sweet it is Best, GWB

Did you use your Thermacell? Or where you here for our cold snap? That two hours at 34 degrees was a killer!

We tried black buck years ago, had to put it into sausage finally. Not impressed. Then one rainy night we were tasked with finding a mouflon ewe. For the gals cooking for their paid hunters when we were guiding. It was raining hard and on 16K acres on a 2.5 hour drive, we found only blackbuck so head shot a doe with 22 mag. Got chewed out good when we got back. It was what it was though. Actually the gals covered it so much almost all you coiuld taste was bell pepper. Told us to come home empty handed next time instead of blackbuck... I'm sure it can vary as to diet as we all know.

Pig trips down south are nice this time of year, especially when even 15 degrees feels like 65! I almost went out and shot the steel PD today. Almost..... Loaded 300 Mag Deuces instead, then drank beer.

There've been a few folks who say our wire-grass savannah's look a lot like parts of Africa. And the heat and humidity sometimes feels like it, as well.

Axis is some of the best game meat there is. Absolutely delicious. Blackbuck seems to be completely dependent on their diet. Good if they are primarily corn fed, but not so much if they are survivin' in the brush.

Axis are great eating, but I think scimitar horned oryx are a tad better. ;-)
As for that stock... EGADS! My eyes! My eyes!
