Hey guys, I know several of us drew this hunt from on this board. Clodhopper and I will be at the Super 8 in Alamagordo . Anyone wanna meet and greet?
So who's taking what for a rifle? Thinking I'm gonna use my 338 RUM this year with 250gr. Sierra's. My custom 280ai will play backup this year. (MAYBE) Might use it just to put 2, oryx knotches on it.

Hey Splatt, how did you get a tag again? I'm assuming you drew a "broken horn" tag?

I'll have my lab with me, so I got a pet friendly motel. There's more of us from here, so maybe a dinner is in order, if we all can organize it.

Splatt, Holler at me next time you are in town so I can get the Pelican gun case back to you.

Hopefully one with long black spikes and minimum breakage! When I took my pintail to the taxidermist, he let me know he could fix the broken part to make 2 perfect spikes! We'll see.
Happy New Year everyone.

Good luck to all you dirty rotten...I mean lucky dogs. :-)
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone. Everyone knows what they mean. What's more important is time that is known as the little dash inbetween.

3 more days and we head south! Clodhopper and I are getting stoked! Wives are going, a friend of his, and of course, Trap. We are hoping to get freezer fillers. ..... Clodhopper is gonna use a vanguard 7 mag, and I'm gonna use my 280ai again. Today is being spent getting gear and Hummer ready.
So who else is going on this hunt? Iirc, there are several on here going.
