If you like Ultradot but would like a reflex over a tube try the Ultradot LT. I have one mounted on a 7.5" 357 Maximum with the Weigand mini mount that works well.

If you like the reflex sights here's about the best place to buy them. I can attest the Holosuns are terrifics! If they still have it there was no tax on them. Don't know how they do it. freedomgorilla.com/collections/optics |

Don't know how they do it. freedomgorilla.com/collections/opticsI bought my holosuns from battlehawk. Their prices are great too. I got the tube sights instead of the reflex though. They seem pretty slick other than being quite a bit heavier than the reflex. |

Good job with the hogs. That’s the way us ranch people do it. Carry a gun all the time cause ya never know what vermin you will find. Yesterday I found a quill pig working over some trees. The dog and I hiked down there and ended that deal

The dog and I hiked down there and ended that deal The only thing I hate worse than a coyote is a porcupine! We don’t have enough trees up here as it is. Don’t need those BA$TARDS ringing them all. A little story about them. I had some guys down from up north, ND I think, to hunt hogs. When I was showing them around, we came across a porcupine. I asked the guy sitting up front to take his rifle and shoot it PLEASE! He said, “are you sure? We can’t shoot them in ND (wherever he was from). They are protected and you can only shoot them for emergency ration”. I told he was GTG here. I retrieved it after he shot it just to check out the carnage with his 7RM. While looking it over, he said they were supposed to be good eating. That’s all I needed to hear! I cut the back straps out and the hind quarters off, marinated it overnight in a can of cheap beer, and grilled it the next day. It was the mildest, best tasting game meat I’ve ever had! I’ll try anything once and that turned out to be delicious. |

Yeah, I. Texas there’s lots of stuff we can shoot that can’t be shot in other places. Cormorants is my favorite, you do need a landowners variance but one of the ranches I do work in has one and an afternoon shooting them is almost as much fun as prairie doggin.

Trapr We call them “water turkeys” when we are duck hunting. I wish we could shoot them. I really don’t understand their protected status. I used to have access to thousands of acres of very fertile prairie doggin up here in the panhandle. Poison took care of that. |

We had a variance for a while because a 2 1/2 acre farm tank would have 50 or 60 of them. Even bought a top quality 22LR just for them. Actually went through a 100 round box of CCI Mini Mag round nose in one afternoon. Then Dad made me scoop them all out with a dipnet so the carcasses didn't foul the tank for the cattle. Each Water Turkey can eat 1 1/2 pounds of fish per day (info from my supervising game warden), so 50 or 60 birds eating 1 1/2 pounds of fish a day, I am losing all my farmed bass! You would not believe the size of fish they can choke down. |

You would not believe the size of fish they can choke down. I wonder if they are good eating? I guess if you have some kind of depredation permit from the state to shoot them, you can’t keep them anyway, correct? |

They have/will kill all the vegetation on an island. Quite the nuisance. A few years ago a few guys killed 800 or so on one island. Not sure if they ever got caught? |

Tennesse apparently has a problem with Blue Herrings and were going to put them on the hunting list, even stating they were tasty to eat. The activist got together and stopped it. Now a funny and no offense to anyone. Just about every creature in the U.S. is in the Hillbilly's Cookbook! That's why I don't believe in Bigfoot, because if there was one there would be a receipe in that Hillybillys Cookbook! I apologize
