Holiday in Texas

[Dave Roelle]

Hi Stephen---------0.444 baco creedmore with 40/1-----patched with some really thin pattern paper to about 0.449----the accuracy is there so i thought i'd try it on critters

I didn't expect the DRT results however-----hogs are really dense so the slug gets to deliver a pretty good punch, and if you put a 1/2 inch hole in just about anything its gonna lose the contest. The spike was really knocked flat, got the boney part of the off side shoulder --thats probably what did the trick, boom, smoke cleared and 4 feet in the air.

what a hoot

Hi Don:

There are just tons of pigs on this ranch soooooooooooo,
pitch out some range cubes and pick a nice spot to flop and wait em out----------killed the first one in her tracks , the one behid her took a finisher.

i'm not sure a modern rifle with normal bullets would get enough penetration to actually kill two like this-------that creedmore was still going strong out the far side of those pigs-----they aren't very big pigs 60 to 70 pounds i expect.

We will go to eradicate pigs after the deer season ends-------dogs and enough hands to run em till the pups give out----its not uncommon to gather up 10 or 15 in a day that way----no guns just dogs and rope
