Gentlemen,
I wish all of you going a great time.
Perhaps it is time for little update, as I have been, it may have been noticed or more likely, not, absent from the 'fire for a while.
After enjoying the life of a roving scientist and guide-for-hire for the first 12 years of my professional life I have gone into harness fulltime a few month back.
With family - this feels like a good choice - even if it means giving up some freedoms - like attending a hog hunt in Texas.
Thank you, Dan, for organizing this in the past.
As an attendee from 2015 and 2016 I want to most harshly reccommend, to the point of being pushy, attendance of this event.
A more relaxed group of "gentle giants" will be hard to find.
Carl you will be missed. Best all around shooter I have had the pleasure of shooting with.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....

I like Booby's shooting ability with big guns like Gunner's Turnbull rifle...I haven't heard a sound like that since a rabbit got caught in a barbed wire fence

I think that squeek we heard was air being forced out around his ear plugs.

I think that squeek we heard was air being forced out around his ear plugs. You could be right, though at the time I thought it was his bones screeching as they were struck by the curved metal buttplate. Bobby, my .475 Turnbull does have a rubber buttpad, ya know. If I drop the scope off it will weigh about 7½ lbs, which will make it fast handling...

Glad to see you up and about Jerry.
If you do decide, change your mind that is,to come on down to Tx. in March, I have an idea. Why don't you drive down to Brownwood area of Tx. and you can stay in my 5th wheel trailer for the night on the way down to hog hunt. Break up that long drive down here. Only 4 or 5 hours for the rest of the trip from that point on. Back roads from then on. That's what I do and will do. I hate traveling in DFW, Austin and or San Antonio. So I go the back roads at 70 to 75.
You are invited to do this.

Checking schedules at work, may need to switch a call for that Sunday, but will try to make it happen.
Of course it also depends on the boss, but may be able to get a compassionate permit since my birthday is March 6th.
7mmRem Mag would be the tool... or a 243 would enjoy seeing you there. ya' GWB

If only this didn't fall smack dab in the middle of the busiest time of the year for me, I would be there in a heartbeat. The logistics of getting away from the hatchery are daunting though. Maybe next year.

Pencil it in for next year---Hank. It's a hoot.
Anyone bringing some big bores? I'm planning on a 375 Ruger for a trail run before it goes to AK on my bear hunt.
ingwe----I got a cute little pink piggie for the trophy on this year's Dink contest.
