My First Arizona Kill

[The Crisco Kid]

A javelina I took yesterday evening with my .45 that I built in 1980. A 45 with 60 grains 3F is plenty for a 25 pound pig. As of this afternoon it's been converted to sausage. It was a fun hunt with some good friends. It was getting late when the photo was taken which may explain the red face. That or the 50 yd uphill drag!

Thanks for sharing the photo of your successful hunt.
Nice looking rifle Crisco, we appear to be the same vintage, encourages me to try & drag my old carcass into the Idaho back country for another hunt
Happy trails,
relic shooter

I respect your grit and vigor and hope to be tottin a fine rifle and aiming sharp for as many seasons as you are. Well played and thanks for sharing. That has to be the perfect size muzzleloader I've seen to date. I love them all but that just looks perfectly practical to carry afield.
