Nice one Jim. I like those big Silvertips too. I bought 10 boxes of 190's in 303 for my 99F. Got them from my old buddy out there in Oregon, so I have something to shoot a big bar with when I go to visit.

On a sadder note, my cousin has gone off the Covid 19 deep end. WV opens Monday, my buddy and I go up Friday and work on camp a little. Check our stands, wander around checking out the sign. This year my cousin's son is sleeping in a tent, can't come in the trailer. His Nephew has to drive up, 2 1/2 hours, Monday morning. One of my guys has had a stand on my cousins property since the 70's, he got the boot. I've only have 30 acres and the two stands on it cover the whole place. We're pretty bummed. maybe I can get one more stand in on my place where no one will be in any one else's line of fire, We'll see.

Good shooting Mohawk. I know that pigs are nuisance in Texas, what do you guys do with all that pork after the freezer full, coyote bait?

My guys went 3 for 3, my cousin went 1 of two. My Brother In Law took a nice 125 pound 7 pointer. He said there were 3 bucks together browsing. At first he only saw two, and he saw a deer lift it's head and it was a BIG 8 or better. Then it looked like it had reached it's head around almost to it's butt, and it looked smaller. After watching them he realized it was two nice deer standing head to tail, side by side. He said he watched them for an hour and the two big ones would not step apart. So, at 4:48, worrying about it getting dark, he shot the one closest, good clean heart shot. He said the other one was much bigger. I shot at 4:53 and he thought I got the big one. But, I got a typical 90 pound mountain spike. About 8AM John got the twin to my 90 pounder. John shot his with an AR in 450 Bushmaster, Erin got his with a Savage 111 in 270, and I used my old faithful 1950 R in 250. For those that have doubts about 100 GR Remington's not shooting straight. This gun loves them. Only about a 60 yard shot. Last week someone said if you shoot them in the ear, they will fall down. Well, I found out, if you shoot them in the left eye, they fall down too.

Took my 99 out on opening day Saturday killed a nice tree swinging on a nice buck chasing a doe and an hour and a half later shot a fat fork horn for the freezer. Never been a horn hunter but have kept the family in venison for the past 40 years. Tried a new bullet this year when I found a box of Speer 165 grain round nose new old stock. May be constructed a bit stout for white tail but they did the job. For the rut he still was carrying a lot of fat so been eating well. The classics may not be long range minute of angle but they damn sure are minute of deer. Forgot the details 99F in 308 wearing a Leopold 3x9. Haven't hunted this gun in 7 years but it still fits like a well worn pair of jeans and shoots where I am looking.

Lee,

I've killed seven of them over the past three weeks. My freezer is now completely full. I have a couple of people that I know that I bring them to quartered out and in an ice chest. I can't bring myself to not utilize them unless they are in really poor shape or super stinky big boars. Even the big boars are good to eat if cared for properly. When my freezer is full and I don't have someone to take one I bone it out and I have a couple of crockpots I cook the meat down in until it falls apart and can be shredded. I feed that to my dogs. Makes a high quality dog food. Better than using them for coyote bait in my opinion.

All that being said they are a destructive non-native species. You cant kill enough of them to keep them in check. I have no problem with folks who kill them and let them lay.
