Mark one off bucket list

[topbike]

Docs said I should have been gone 2 years ago, colon cancer, then lung cancer, now liver cancer BUT they are wrong. Yesterday decide to check one more item off my bucket list and went hog hunting with friends in Florida. Took my Lyman 50cal GPR while they took cartridge rifles. I dropped a 225 lb. boar at about 85 yards with one shot through the heart and lungs. Hardly moved after that round ball hit it. Check one more off the list.

Well done from a fellow cancer survivor!
Seven years ago I was told I had a one in five chance of survival.
I am cancer free and I thank God for every day.
Worked on my bucket list too.
We have a lot more days afield friend.
Blessings,
Irish

That's the way to show'em! And kill a hog.

I had an acquaintance who was given 6 months by the oncologist. He told me he couldn't meet with me on a certain day because he had to get his 6 mos. dental checkup and cleaning. I asked, "Why bother with 6 mos. to live?" He said, "I don't believe him!"

He was still alive 3 years later but died shortly after that ... from a heart attack.

Thanks to everyone for the kind replies. I will not go quietly into that dark night.

Good for you! You have to have a bucket list. When you find the bottom of the bucket, you need to add new things as life goes on. I have been stage 4 for 10+yrs. now. Have it spine,ribs,femurs,pelvis,skull,liver and lungs.But if you don't keep running, the Grim Reaper just may catch up with you.

You're doing everything right and making good decisions. A dear friend's cancer had metastasized throughout the lungs, lymph, liver, everywhere. She was given only a year or so to live and that was around 10 years ago. She is 68 and still teaches jujitsu!

I used 65 grains of 2f Goex, .490 round ball and .018 spit lube patch. Stopped him cold.

I would like to have been there, to see your friend with cartage guns when you flatted that big boar :shocked2:

Next year when you go, bring extra ammo, they will all want to barrow your Shoot'n Iron :wink:

Good job! You may find hog hunting nearly as addicting as muzzle loading.

CONGRADS on the BIG boar AND on proving the sawbones WRONG.

I agree with "bull3540". = Hog hunting is addictive.

BEST WISHES, "Duckie" & satx
