Finally back!

[Rooster]

Hello all,

I have just returned state side after being overseas for the last 15 years. My wife and I have moved to Houston. I am a retired Navy CPO and was deployed to the UK. I stayed on after working as an instructor teaching US, NATO and African partner allies. I was one of the few Americans living in the UK that had firearms and shotguns. It takes forever but I am expecting my guns from the UK in the next couple of months. In the UK I did mostly wing shooting and fox control. My passion is for big game in Africa (warthogs are great!). Once bitten by the big bore bug, there is no going back. Men's guns start at .375 H&H ;)

I am looking for some pig hunting in the greater Houston region. Any contacts greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. I tend to agree with the big bore theory. I love my 375 h&h and my 458 win mag

 

[BigRedDog]

HOWDY from Houston

 

[BigRedDog]

How about lunch some time?

Welcome! Also a houstonian

I wanna see pictures of a big boar with a .375 H&H hole in him... Welcome aboard!

 

[Itsazonik]

One of these days I'll take the 375 out and test it on a hog. I'm curious about that and my 458 win mag

 

[Froggerzack]

the .375 with its 235 gr. bullet @ 2964 ft/s sounds like fun to me!

 

[Froggerzack]

Plus it was one of the only ammo available during the ammo scare!

I have 500 pieces of brass and about 4000 bullets for my 375 h&h mag. A little over kill since my 375 is a t/c encore single shot

Keeping a minimum supply like this is a good idea.

 

[Itsazonik]

My goal is 1000 pieces of brass and 2000 bullets and primers for every rifle I own. Right now I have 5000 pieces of brass and 8000 bullets for each handgun.

I would have to rent a store room just for gun stuff, already need to for hunting gear!

 

[Itsazonik]

I have a spare room just for gun stuff. I would run out of room if I didn't have it
