It works for me! Taking the 358 Win out a little later! I'm thinking these 200 gr Hornady SP ought to do the trick!

TexnCal what rifle is the high wall? It's an original High Wall, made in 1900. At some point it was customized to .45-90, with a 22" half octagon barrel. Weighs about 7½ lbs. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/highwall45-90_zps6f10abcd.jpg)

Just to be clear for the new out-of-staters, the birds, including turkeys are not in season. The Crested Caracara I think is classified as a raptor, and is not legal anytime.

Three 140 gr TSX's via 270 Montana below the ear seemed to work thrice last year.

Don't shoot that Sasquatch in the last picture either if you see it. You might have to use Dan's .444 to bring it down.

I had spotted this at my LGS about 6 month. It took a bit of wrangling but I got it at a great price. Bailed it out today! ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Rifles/KC9A8259_zps5abr9olp.jpg) Its a Dakota 76 Alpine, chambered for the 280 Remington. I topped it with a Meopta Meopro 4.5-14 x 50 w/duplex reticle. Got some 150 gr. Sierra Spitzers and some 140 Gr. Accubond loaded to try. ya! GWB

It is a cool rifle, but at the moment it's getting a new front sight made. It has been honorably blooded anyway, so something else should make the trip.
Last year I only remember seeing one big boar with tusks taken. I'll probably smack a coupe of good eating size hogs first, then hold out for a tusker. Love to have a Euro mount of a big tusker

I'm thinking the same Patrick... I shot this gnarly boar down there in Nov...but I saw one even gnarlier that I wanted to shoot, but space in the cooler for eaters was calling! ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/IMG_2148_zps3lbaj1px.jpg)
