I am not familiar with that outfit, but I lived in Flordia and killed a lot of hogs near Okeechobee. Look forward to hearing all about your hunt! Take lots of pictures!

We await with bated breath of your experience. Please give us a detailed account of your hunt as this place seems to have some potential for a good family trip next winter.

Well, the hog hunt didn't go too good . We saw two nice hogs at first light but I had the sun at my back and got a wicked glare on my scope. They were only 25 yards and I probably could've taken a shot but I didn't want to risk it . After that we saw two out at 150 yards and 3 very small pigs . We had a good time though . Now I need to plan another hunt !

Dane,

Your hunting in March, when a lot of us can only dream about the fall. Prairie dogs don't count, by the way.

I guess you have to have some perks for living with all of that humidity and bugs.....Sorry you were not able to connect, but I bet it was grand. You never did mention what your pig sticker of choice was?

Cool. That seems like a great platform to mount a scope, and be able to quickly remove it. I am still young enough to see irons, but just old enough to like to experiment with red dots and scopes ;^) My guns are all fairly short in barrel these days, and the scopes look a little odd, but nice to have the option if only to work out the load kinks at the bench.
