    Feral Hog Poison

    Right now, Lockwood. Half way between LA and SF, about 10 milesfrom the ocean. Moving to Squaw Valley though. Its just east of Fresno at the base of the serria nevadas. We ran out of good neighbors, and I got the deal of my lifetime on 10 acres over there. Not selling the ranch, but couldn't...

    Feral Hog Poison

    The gov tried poison here in the 60s and 80s. Our ranch was in both trials. The feeders sucked, killed a lot of birds and only a few hogs. They used stricnyne then, which was great for killing the coyotes that ate the poisoned hogs. The hogs that didnt get a large enough dose to kill tought the...

    Reloading 6.8 SPC

    You can run the 130gmx, but your going to top out around 2200fps with a 18" barrel, 2100 with a 16, and 2250 with a 20. Min expansion is 2100fps. I tried to make the gmx work for a brush round but the speed is just not there to be viable.

    Reloading 6.8 SPC

    The 130sst is going to be a bit long to get a good charge behind. The aa1680 powder is too fast for anything heavier than 95grs. If you want to use the 130sst, get some aa2200 or 1200-r, h335 and aa2230 as distant second options. Seat long and run a standard primer, light or no crimp. If you...

    Time of day to hunt besides nights

    Durring warm weather, I have more succsess in the evenings, when cold the early morning hunts work better. Hogs have a hard time controling their body temps, so when its hot they will bed down in a cool wet place if possible, then as soon as its cooled off a bit they run for water. Im in a...

    Hog Hunting Equipment questions...

    Ive killed hogs with everything from a 22lr to a 577 nitro express. Anything less than a 6.8spc/6.5 grendal is a gamble on any shot that is less than perfect. The 10/22 that floats in the front seat has killed more pigs than all my other guns combined, but they were shots at 25-50yds in the...

    I hate to say this but a bunch of BS going on a 6.8 forums

    Im going to be a felon soon if the NRA and CalGuns guys dont get their act in gear. Roughly 95% of all semi auto pistols and 85% of all semi auto rifles are going to be illegal Jan 1st, if I read the bills correctly. Oh, and I cant loan a gun or ammo to anyone but immediate family, and only for...

Got called in at 930 Saturday morning and worked 16s until this last Friday. Turned my work phone off Friday night and will turn it back on...
