    Hunting & Fishing East Texas Boar Stalk

    Re: East Texas Boar Stalk My neighbor asked to go with me to track the hog, so we headed to the bottom about 2 hours ago. When we got to the spot where I shot the hog, there was no sign of blood or hair, but Annie acted like she smelled something and took off on the track. It is so thick in...

    Hunting & Fishing East Texas Boar Stalk

    Appleseed Project - Liberty Training Rifle

    Re: Appleseed Project - Liberty Training Rifle Maybe I missed it, but does anyone use an AR-15 with a 22 conversion for Appleseed shoots? In my experience, my AR with a 22 conversion is just a accurate and reliable as any of the 10/22's that I have owned.

    Hunting & Fishing .308 Hunting bullet

    Re: .308 Hunting bullet Call me crazy, but I think "premium" bullets on whitetails are a waste of money. I have been loading, shooting, and killing deer and hogs for a while now with 165 gr Corelokts and have never had a failure even through the shoulder shield of hogs up to 300 lbs.
