    Way to go, seems like the clock on the trail cam is wrong or is that really what 4:42 am looks like in Fla. LOL

    Yes Sir, the cam is an hour early, did not change w the DST. This is our 300 acres of an over 2000acre lease, private road, no one on it but us and our guests. 2 Sounders, 20 and 30 ea almost every nite, then pass throughs, around 300 head. We kill to eat them not to eradicate, no farm land but Pine Co land. Our area roght now has 3 plots, 3 12' towers and 1 4' tower, 3 ladder stands, 4 feeders and 4 roll barrels. Will be opening more up and are surrounded by a creek and swamp, lots of area to stalk and hunt too.

    Yes and even Dave may get lucky. I have filled most of the areas with Military or former/retired Service members and we have a great bunch of guys.

    rabbit, I believe he reloads these, he is on the site maybe Pruhdlr will post here. He has a taken 2 hogs I know of with the same gun and bullet, 70lbs and a 140, both shoulder shots, DRT pass thru's at 60-75yds. The one last night had a 1" section of spine removed...small entrance and exit wounds but no trailing necessary.

    He hasn't been sold on the 6.8 yet? Nice honey hole, that's alot of bacon.
    Next time you go to the range make some money. Just catch or retrieve your 6.8 brass and sell it.

    Wassman, he has more weapons than a man should, may build a 6.8 and share the lower with the 50 Beowulf that is on it now, I keep telling him and he does like my gun so maybe he will be my 3rd convert!
