    Tactful Tales of Hunting

    My five year old little girl prefers to use the word guts when she tells stories at daycare. Course some of the city slicker ladies that work there find it offensive, but the owner is an old country girl and she finds it just fine. Course she did ask me not to let Maggie bring a Hog liver to...

    Ivory billed wood pecker rediscovered=not extinct

    PAX said: I heard some anti-gun senators make the same arguement you just made about the AWB and it sunsetting... Did it make any sense then? Does it make any sense in this context? It is never RIGHT to infringe upon a US citizen because another might do something stupid, NEVER. It is...

    Ivory billed wood pecker rediscovered=not extinct

    Right in the middle of some of the best duck hunting in the state. What is stupid is this bird thought extinct has been co-existing with duck hunters and other outdoorsman for years, unknown to biologist, scientists, and assorted federal quacks. Yet now that it is spotted, suddenly the folks...

    New rattlesnake vaccine for our 4-legged friends

    Buzztail, Most of the guys I have seen either use a cage or a they pull the fangs that morning. Some of them use electrical tape to keep the snake from opening its mouth. Dad's been training bird dogs for 30+ years now and one thing he does not advocate is the way some guys snake train...

    What do you want on a hog hunt?

    Ok I wasn't thinking along the lines of, "OK we go fish in the morning" I was thinking more along the lines of someone who has been here a couple days, is really starting to drag and was ready for a few hours of just sitting and relaxing. I'm not much on fishing anymore, most of my other...

    South Texas hogs: 44mag, 308, or 300 Win mag?

    Digme, I have a story to tell about hogs, guns, and just what may not work.... :D Monday we took some dogs over to a small patch of brush to chase the hogs around, about 5 minutes into the hunt they found a 100lb sow and bayed her up real nice. I went to em and they caught her when I got...

    What do you want on a hog hunt?

    Some buddies and I are giving serious thought to starting a hunting operation. We've been doing it for just ourselves and some farmers for the past few years and thought maybe it was time to start it as a way to make a bit of money and be able to kick some back to the farmers for the damage...

    My first trophy

    Rock Jock, That is a nice Axis. That is a critter I have always wanted to hunt and just never been able to. But I have seen a few heads on the walls of ranchers and such and that is a good one. SelfDefenz, Axis are primarly grazers not browsers like WT. Thus they have a richer...

    How many have had a job as a hunter?

    Worked at a feed store right out of highschool, one of the jobs duties was to shoot pigeons off the grain elevators. The store was in town so another worker and I had to build a wall to hide our activities from people who might see. We used an RWS .177 air rifle and would pluck them out from...

    Nice 3" cuttered Barr hog

    We caught this one yesterday, he dressed 204lbs and was castrated. Both cutters are 3" long and he thrashed a couple bulldogs that got there late and jumped on his nose. They are like razors and really did a number. I never got a chance to get a pic of him in the woods and by the time I got...

    Number 113 for the year...

    Art, Yep, also managed to knock out right at 27,000 feet of fence this year, despite the rain and such... If it wasn't always raining and to wet to get in to places the hog number would be half that and the fence number pushing twice what it is... :D I think my wife would prefer the...

    Number 113 for the year...

    Caught this boar today at place near the house with just Sasha who is in the pic and my bulldog Bandit. I don't have a clue what this dude weighed, my best guess is roughly 275lbs give or take. He was really tall, when I went to stick him with the knife he came to right at my stomach and I...

    Got a little piggy today

    Digme, Nice oinker. I'd say your estimate is pretty dang close on the weight. I haven't posted much lately, we went out on the 9th and killed 15 with the dogs, 8 good sows, and seven 15-60lb shoats. I made a trip to Tilden Thur. last week and we caught one 80lb boar hog as we where headed...

    thread #20,340,549,019 re: Bear defense

    I voted 12gauge, but it would be a good quality copper Barnes type slug for maximum penetration. I like the 870 configuration with a short 18.5" barrel, it'll point quickly and I shoot mine all the time with slugs.

    More Swine pics...

    My buddy James and I made a hunt this morning, we ended up the day with six of them. Five boars and one sow. The first boar of the morning, the largest one on the truck, just about took my Sasha dog out of the hunt for good. She was baying him real tight in a thick spot and he made a rush at...

    Best Self Defense Method..Hand to hand?

    Practice avoidance at all costs, if that fails, learn to fight like a cornered grizzly. I grew up in a very rough part of a very large town, fighting was a very common occurance in my youth. I lost the first 3 fights I was ever in, just flat out got whipped. I've had a bunch since then and...

    Who and what will he rob next?

    Supertrucker, This is Texas, the cops are sick of this crap, I believe the quote went something like this, "I wish he'd spooked and run into the street and been smacked by a truck." Smoke said: But Smoke this is exactly what I am talking about... So you fork over your $80, nobody...

    71 and counting...

    landon, Most of the time it does. The high shoulder shot wasn't an instant stop, it dropped her in place, but when I came back to her a minute or so later to check she jumped up and tried to get away, but the dog snagged her and I ran a knife into her heart. I'd cut right across the top of...
