I know..I keep seeing your posts..... Ive been in places in Texas where cats are few and far between, and other places where they are quite common. Yours looks like the latter!

Fun thread guys. Here is my current favorite rifle for making stuff fall out of trees. TC Carbine with a 21” barrel cut to 16.25”. Much lighter then just finding a super 16 barrel. Chambered in .223 shooting ultra max 52gr HP. Has been a deadly combo. Not dead in the pic but it hasn’t killed any deer since that pic was taken

More data points this morning. Got into a bunch of pigs in a big thicket of about 20 acres that they didn’t want to leave. I chased them around in there for three laps before they finally broke cover and headed for parts unknown. Managed a new personal record of 10 out of one bunch. Some fell to 53gr TSXs and some to the 77TMK. 18” 223 with a Griffin Recce7 suppressor. Heeee-re piggy, piggy, piggy!! Nice work, Man!

Went this evening to call a group of coyotes that passed by me this morning on my bow stand. I knew where they were headed and figured I could sneak in and call them out. Bumped a big sow out of a thicket on my way in and decided it was a pig hunt. Had my gun loaded with 40gr Varmeggedon tipped over a max load of TAC, not ideal but dance with who you brung. I whiffed the head shot but got a pair into the ribs as she exited stage left. 75 yard run before she piled up with a big chunk of lung hanging out her side. Entrance hole, the rib it centered was vaporized. No exit obviously but soup inside.

You guys make me wish I lived somewhere with lots of pigs to shoot

But I sure wouldn’t mind the target rich environment for once
