    Ratdog I think that's good advice, thought of doing that. Probably get that done next couple of days.

    Let's see em! Hog rifles...

    Just used Rustoleum Camo paint. Put the tan coat on then used sponges to put on the green, brown, and rust colors. I hear Durocoat is much better but this will do.

    Let's see em! Hog rifles...

    I painted my 6.8 AR-15 and wrapped the scope in Camo yesterday. Much better than black and silver. Now I need to figure out how to make this my avatar from my IPad.:)

    Feeder Placement Near Nest

    I think the key for our area is there won't be any hunting more than once per week. Mostly every couple of weeks.

    Let's see em! Hog rifles...

    It's very easy to give up most any rifle for a 6.8 SPC II AR-15. Unless you're hunting moose, elk, or brown bears it seems to me the 6.8 is the way to go in the lower 48.

    Feeder Placement Near Nest

    How close is too close placing feeders nearby nests? We don't want to chase the hogs off, but want to place a feeder/blind about 200 yards from a known hog nest. I think it should be good, we'll only be hunting every 2 weeks maximum, and the hogs seem to travel so much that it shouldn't be a...

    Moultrie M-80 & its Variants

    Frank, not sure about the pricing but everything else sounds correct from what my bud Dave told me. He has it set to send emails at times he selects after the feeder goes off. The deer out there hear the feeder go off, walk up, and about an hour later we usually get some pictures via email. I...

    Moultrie M-80 & its Variants

    Yeah, I'm lucky, he's pretty cool and can afford it.

    Moultrie M-80 & its Variants

    My buddy bought a Smart Scouter, works off of satellite Internet. He has the Smart Scouter camera set up about 250 yards from his cabin where the satellite dish is set up on a pole about ten feet up. He's had pretty good success with it for about two years, and the camera sends you an email...

    Let's see em! Hog rifles...

    Thanks everyone for the kind words! Took it out today running some Federal XM68GD 90 gr pills and had a blast! Shot the Federal 90's and Hornady 110 HPBT's to the same zero today. Looking forward to the next couple of months to shoot some pigs!

    AA2200

    AA2200 is terrific for any 6.8 round I've loaded from 82 gr CEB Raptor to 120 SST's. Great powder!

    Let's see em! Hog rifles...

    Not a hog killer yet, just a raccoon killer, but hopefully will be this fall (the hogs finally showed up!) 6.8 SPC II 18" Wilson Combat SS barrel with Troy forearm, Aero Precision lower. RRA Two-Stage trigger with a Magpul stock. Pulsar N550 is now on the rifle. Kudos to Dave in ABQ for...

    Hog feeders

    We've had very good luck with the Monarch Crown 12' deer feeder. They are out of Arlington and make great products. We have two of them and one has been running just about continuously for 2 and 1/2 years with no problems.

    Moultrie M-80 & its Variants

    My buddy has had pretty good luck with his Moultrie. Not much luck with anything else though. Game cameras on the whole just are not made to stand up to the Texas environment.

    .22 subsonics found in mesquite

    I have a Ruger 10/22 and a Savage 93. Both terrific rifles and very accurate. Want to get a Ruger target pistol, shot one last year and really liked it.
