    Where to aim

    Looks like I hit the heart, not almost missed. Like I said, for me, a high heart low double lung is the shot, whether further back on a whitetail or further forward on a feral pig. Can't say in all of the years that I have been hunting big game, that every animal that I have shot in the exact...

    Where to aim

    Same here JJ. The last pig I shot was at 148 yds. The 200 gr TC SW went right thru the top third of the heart. Through the smoke I could barely see the pig bolt to the left. That pig coverd 20 yds of sendero & another 40 yds in thick brush before expiring. Seldom w/ a solid double lung do they...

    Hog hunting/Russian Boar

    You would be hard pressed to find ANY Russian Boar in Texas or in any state of our union. You may find a captive Russian Boar in a game fence that someone might let you kill for a fee. If you research old Euro Boar hunts, seldom will you find illustrations of hunts w/o dogs in them. I beleive...

    Where to aim

    Have to agree w/u JJames. A solid broadside high heart & or double lung is the way to go. Here in S Tex brush you can lose an animal in 20 yds w/o a solid blood trail. We have a lot of so called "nothing but a neck shot" shooters here. The common reason is "well if it doesn't go down then its...

    Any gobblers yet?

    "I was out calling yesterday here in PA." Hey Wiley Turkey hunters here in Tx have a saying, "You don't talk to a Turkey unless you plan on killing him". :crackup: Don't want to school them before season starts.

    Any gobblers yet?

    Our season in TX doesn't start till 3/26. Will be in Kenedy Tx chasing them. I'm all tuned up & can't wait. This is a picture of a very large rio I killed in Tarpley. Hind sight: If I had registered the bird, it would have ended up approx. top ten largest Rio in Texas.

    Turkey calls?

    Hey brushbuster I used to hunt the Merrett Ranch just east of Utopia, west of Tarpley & just north of the Seco Valley Ranch. Used to lease from Bill Coffee. He & his wife Edna used to live there. Had a lot of Turkey there. Always got exited come spring turkey season. Double calling w/ a slate &...

    Turkey calls?

    1st one I have ever seen in a freshwater clam shell, very cool. You should send a pic to the NWTF. Add a purple heart striker & a carbon striker & you will have a call that will sound like 3 different birds. A tactic that is killer on call shy Toms. Thanks for the pic

    Low Life "Hunters" tarnish our name

    Ditto hear. I also learned the hardway. What we do here now is only install tree pegs to approx. 9' above the ground & @ every treestand we have a ladder that gets us up to the first peg. When we are done we just hide the ladder. Kind of a pain but have yet to lose a tree stand since.
