"would do riding much more often than he would be hunting on foot." Riding is a very good workout! You will use muscles you forgot you had!

Yeah! Saw almost as many nilgai as we did deer. Saw one bull I bet would go 800 lbs! Saw a few javelina but not one hog! Even saw a few quail. Will head back down in January. I’ve had hogs almost run me over trying to get outta Dodge, but that’s as close to being charged as I can get. Had...

Hey Eutycus! Speakin’ of invasive species, I shot another Nilgai last Thursday evening south of you down in Kenedy co. Big bull. Didn’t see a single dang hog. And I wanted to stick a shoat on the pit while I was down there.

Very nice!

I’ve taken to using a "comal". Made from disc harrow blade. Fits right on top of my little brazier. Looks a lot like what all the Mexican womenfolk used down here. Cook just about everything in it. Very versatile. Naturally you can’t use it for an oven. But I got plenty of them if I need one.

As an addendum, I needed a somewhat small transport container for assorted camp supplies so I fabricated this combo box/nightstand for the above bed. Still waiting for its paint.

Well done! What a great photo! Love Max’s pose!!!! Good shooting!!!

Now that is just awesome!!!!! Waidmannsheil!!!!

Mmmmm! Freezer teasers! And so delicious ! Waidmannsheil !!!

Well I got to try out my new bed this past weekend! Wow! It is most comfy and doesn’t take me long to set up or tear down. Temps at night and into the morning were in mid to low 30’s. Slept very well!

Grenadier, I hope to get to try it out next weekend at an 1820’s even down here. I haven’t finished a tick cover for the cotton pads (I have two now!). But I can cover them adequately. Report to follow.

Nice!!!!!!!! Waidmannsheil!!!!!!

I use a ladderback that I put a new woven seat in myself. I wove it out of some kind of natural webbing. Looks like jute. I cut off about 16" off the back. It was one of those real tall ones. Now it easier to use in my wedge tent. Still has two rungs in the back! This summer I picked up...

Those are the way I remember them too. Like a minature elk.

Yeah, everybody here just referred to them as Sikas. Me? Personally I’m a nilgai sort of fellow! :)

Used to be a lot of Sika deer down here on the exotic ranches. But you don’t hear about them much anymore. I suppose they are still around. I haven’t seen one in a while. But that really doesn’t mean anything. There was talk several years ago about "Super Sika" which I thought were a cross...

Should have been!!! LOL!!!! I thought it was funny!!! You have a pleasant evening!

LOL! It’s ok Stophel! I have at lease 6 more traditional flintlocks around here with barrels at lease 42” long. It all worked out ok! ;)

Best I remember about 29". Like I said there was a really bad spot in it I could not get out. I cut off and used as much as I could get out of it to use. :)

Stophel, On a side note Are you also a fan of Carl Maria Von Weber’s opera, "Der Freischutz”? My little Jäger is aptly named Annchen. ;) A neat opera that has it all. Shooting, magic rifle balls, and a happy ending. ( and the Jägerchor!) Thanks for posting those above photos! Very cool...
