After reviewing a trail cam card at lunchtime today, it was an easy decision on where to hunt this evening...the camera showed daylight hog activity almost every day for the past week, including a couple of really nice boars. Given the stand location, the gun choice was easy (kinda) - my unblooded, new-to-me FA 353 Casull. 30 yards - Federal factory 140 gr Barnes...sow was broadside, shot just below and behind the ear. No tracking necessary - complete pass through.  Can't wait to handload some "Taffinesque" loads with the 140 Barnes...should have a dramatic effect on deer-sized game!

Good show! The stocks look much whiter in the photo than the usual FA micarta. Are those by Reeder?

Congrats on they piggy!
Very good comeback! Glenn, if y'all were playing dominos; it'd be your move...

That was Stan's gun out of Alabama that I liberated from "The Set" And KRal, I knew better than to trade jabs with Glenn - he's meaner than I am, so I'm sure there will be retribution. But it was too much to pass up...

In February I have a hunt in Georgia. We killed a bunch last year and I can't wait to kill a mess of them this year again.
