Jwp475,

The rifle of choice for the past Game Warden in Sarita Tx, Kenedy county was a Ruger #1 in 220 Swift. He took many a nilgai with it. Way back in the salad days of our youth we both worked at the same gunshop for a while in Austin. He passed several years back from a brain tumor.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
