Head south for hogs! Meet up with some 24HCF members, & go perforate some porkers. Excellent hunting, ecologically beneficial, high (or even NO) bag limits, comparatively inexpensive, great eating, and excellent memories. After such a great hunt, the kid may entertain the notion of a different rifle/chambering. Then again, he may confirm his belief that he’s already found, “The One.”

I second this notion! I need to look into that greater myself. Especially if I could time it over Xmas break. I think the boys get a hoot out of it.
