GW's place looks like a lot of the Tx Hill Country looks.

Based on some of his past posts I'll bet he is a little northwest of Uvalde. Probably out Hwy. 55 towards Rock Springs. No matter, we are talking about the same varmits and what I have seen them do to feeders and the native wildlife. He is hunting some pretty country.

I'm hunting on Dolph Brisco's old homestead ranch at Reagan Wells. We are 6 miles in west of SH-83.
Went back to my lease last weekend for dove season opener. Three weeks ago we were covered up with mourning doves and white-wings.
This weekend, not a bird one. Amazing.
Did not get the big one I've been gunning for, that was pictured in the previous post. Did manage to tag this one.
Not the biggest boar, but pretty good cutters.
He had an unusually thick and bristly coat, so I caped him out. Think I'll have his hide tanned.
My youngest son's fiance is from Germany. She's been wanting a boar shank to cook. Since he didn't stink I took the loins, tenders, shoulders, hinds and flank meat for carnitas.

It rough, wild and beautiful in a harsh way.
I luv it!

How much Briscoe land is there... I know it goes down all the way to the mines road and back up to both Laredo and Eagle pass at one time....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
I'm not exactly sure, I think somewhere between 55,000 and 64,000 acres in this ranch.
beretzs,
That AR is chambered for the 6 x 45 (223 necked up to 6mm). This particular barrel favors the 70 gr. Sierra Blitz over most other fodder I've tried. I do like the Barnes TSX in the small calibers, but I've been amazed at the results I get on game with the Sierra Blitzes at 50 yds or less.
The lower was one of 40 struck by Spike's Tactical back in 2009 for a group buy. The upper is a Kies Mfg. ceramic lined barrel for 6 x 45 with 1 in 9 twist. The optics are the Burris MTAC 1-4 x 24mm, illuminated scope topped with the FastFire III, 3MOA dot in Burris PEPR mount.
I've zero'd both the scope and the FF3 dot for 50 yds. It works well for when I'm running the roads or running my snare line.
1minute,
IMHO, great.
If I walk up and can smell them 15 yds. I may take the head for the tushes. Otherwise they are for the buzzards. If they don't smell, be it a boar or sow I've had excellent luck. I usually have them skinned and on ice within 2 hours of the time they are whacked.
Sometimes, I will take one hind and brine it for 48 hours, then smoke it for a ham.
Other times I will bone out a hind and put in the crock-pot season, and slow cook for 8 hours or so to be used for pulled pork sandwiches.
The flank meat I will do carnitas.
The loins and tenders I marinate and grill or cut up into chunks and coat and chicken fry!

I've spent a fair amount of time hunting near Sonora, Juno, and Rocksprings over the years. It's definitely beautiful, but it takes a special kind of eyes to really appreciate it.

Nice one GW! With all the nice knifes you have, I'd be willing to bet nobody can field dress a hog like you can!

I'm sure there are guys here that could run rings around me. I actually enjoy the skinning and quartering process, and usually don't get in an especially big hurry!
BTW, went back last Wednesday to do last minute prep for the Archery season opener on 10/1.
Did not see another human being the whole time. Had two close calls, (one involving the puke factor) but made it back with only a few cuts, gouges, embedded cactus spines and a lightly sprained ankle.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
Is that my Sako Bavarian in the photo, or the 308 you already had?
That one is your 30-06 SBC. A friend picked up 3 boxes of the 165 gr. TSX "Hog Hammer" factory loads. I've nailed two so far with this rifle and plan to carry it next week when I go back to my lease. It is a sweetie!
