NICE JAVILNA BOAR I SHOT WITH THE PICTURED RUGER 45 COLT BISLEY HUNTER, USING WARNE RINGS, A 2.5-7x28 SIMMONS SCOPE (SET AT 5x) AND THE SPEER GOLD DOT/DEEP CURL 250gr HP's OVER 27grs OF 296. SHOT WAS AT 95 YARDS AND THE BOAR FELL RIGHT THERE, SHOULDER SHOT AND COMPLETE PENETRATION.



ENTRY HOLE IS ON THE LEFT, EXIT ON THE RIGHT. THIS WAS ONLY A 50lb ANIMAL SO IT IS NOT A DEFINITIVE SIGN OF ANYTHING, BUT THE PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD ENUFF TO WARRANT FURTHER USE AND TESTING.

FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON's HUNT I OPTED FOR MY 10 INCH FA 454. IN SOUTH TEXAS YOU DO NOT RECOVER DEER THE NEXT MORNING, YOU ONLY FIND WHAT THE COYOTES LEAVE YOU, SO FOR AFTERNOON DEER HUNTS I PREFER BIGGER, BETTER, PROVEN, etc. BTW, FRIDAY AFTERNOON I PASSED ON A WIDE, SYMETRICAL, MATURE, SHOOTER, 10 POINTER, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE 2 LIFETIME APEX BUCKS OUT THERE ON THE "HIT LIST". FOR MORNING HUNTS I WILL USE THE BISLEY HUNTER.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
