    Hog hunt on March 17

    Tom, I agree with you on a bigger gun/bullet weight. But velocity is also a key factor. You have to find that happy middle ground. I shoot a 270 and load a 130gr. nosler ballistic tip. We killed 2 hogs a few months ago that went 500+. I hit each one behind the shoulder and they both went...

    Hog hunt on March 17

    If you ever make it into the central San Joaquine area let me know and if the pigs are around I will take you out and you can shoot a couple. With all the rain we have had they are scattered but a few weeks of dry weather and it will be easy pickings again.

    Hog hunt on March 17

    I have killed hogs with a 22mag. It was a 20 yard shot and I head shot it but it did drop in its tracks. I am lucky to have 26k acres of hog land to hunt here in CA. I can pick my shots and pass on the ones that are not good. If I was paying to hunt pigs I would use a min. of a 243 with 100 gr...

    Oregon elk info

He will have a spike camp set up and all we need is our food, bows (archery only) and personal supplies. I have only hunted the north eastern area of Oregon, out in the...

    Which ATV?

    I am fond of Polaris but I have never had a cat. Rode some cat snow machines but I know nothing about their quads. In our area there are about 20-1 polaris owners compared to cats. I torture our bikes on the ranch and the polaris has held up. I think polaris and cats are made almost alike...

    looking for a good hunting horse

    I would go with a mule. I would ride a mule and pack on our horses when we were in rough country. I have one good pack/riding mule for sale. She is 9. You can shoot a small calaber gun off her back. Take a look: www.geocities.com/smithstationranch/homepage

    Which ATV?

    I have two polarises, one yamaha, and 4 hondas on the ranch. From now on everything will be polaris. For a long day they are the easiest on your back and kidneys. They perform well and they are a durable bike. Currently I have a 500 and a 700. For hunting I use the 500 and it has more than...
