Hunting South Texas

[bigbrowndog]

I’m on my last morning tomorrow, in hopes of running one of Sixshot’s 200gr LFN/PC bullets into a deer or hog.  Haven’t seen anything decent just does and scraggly horned young deer.   If I can’t get anything in the morning it’ll have to wait till New Years, Which is when we typically come back down for hunting.  It’s been our (fiancé n me) routine for the last 4 years to spend it hunting instead of partying.

She normally shoots culls and does, and the occasional hog or turkey.  This year she decided she wanted to pick out her first “good” buck, she took a nice heavy horned 9pt. That was a respectable deer for a “first” something she can build on for later years, hit him with Hornady 165gr. from her Tikka 308 and dropped him, had him gutted by the time I picked her up. 

So now she’s looking for a hog to go with it,.......

Hopefully I’ll ge5 lucky in the morning, If not that’s why it’s called hunting.

Everyone have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year........and if you’re going to be at SHOT, look me up, I’ll be in the Burris booth.

Well Trapr, just about anybody could tell you to hit anything with one of Sixshots slugs would take a heap of luck. As for hitting it tomorrow, well my friend you should have fired that shot yesterday! It will never get there in time now!!!

Sixshots been out trying to collect me an Elk steak or two. Can’t blame me for poking a little fun at him while he ain’t looking! Come to think of it, he just mailed me a box. I wonder how much it would cost me to have it X-rayed...

You tell that sweet gal you got not to hesitate to stick them S Texas hogs with an insurance shot!! Good luck brother !!!

Trapr, there goes that Dawg, yapping at me again when he knows I shoot nothing but 100% USDA choice Rocket Launchers in everything. They all break 1000 fps or close to it....most days, if the winds right.
Hope you whack something tomorrow with one of those babies at 1450 fps, I'll hear the hit clear up here in Idaho. And if I don't kill something pretty soon I'm going to kill something!! Gutting her own deer, now you've got yourself a fine woman.

Well I’m back home, and had no luck this morning. I’m off next week and if I can get all the crap I have to get done before Christmas I may try and scoot back down for a day or two.
I’d like to whack a pig with my new 500L shortie, as well as the lipstick red PC’d Sixshot bullets, hopefully they can withstand the extra 450fps acceleration,........personally I have high hopes of great terminal performance. Now to just find a subject to introduce them to.
