I shot it at 135 yards, broadside. There were 3 hogs. There was 1 that was much larger then this one but only offered a head on shot. I watched them for about 10 minutes hoping for a broadside shot on the BIG ONE but it never presented itself. The one I shot and one of the other ones were about...
Chris,
Thanks.
Now, to continue the hunt, :)
After taking the steenbok we went after Springbuck - which was the plan that morning - we just got sidetracked :)
We rode to a location on the ranch where Marius has seen springbuck in the past. Must of been WAY in the past because we didn't see...
Tom,
Kraven IS a little fart, lol
I am sure he will have a comment :)
Have 9600 miles on it now. Getting cooler now and being an ole geezer I like to ride when its warmer :)

Nut,
Amazing, some people are real idiots.
As to the misses, I have the perfect cure. Put a tire out at the distances you shoot. I hear VIP can hit a tire from any distance, lol, :D
Nut,
You have your hands full. Good to hear from you again. :)
Oscar,
No I didn't ride the bike in Africa, lol. I bought it this past spring and have been riding it all over PA, OH and NY. Just day trips, so far.
Waiting for Del to chime in. I am sure he will have some sort of sarcastic...
We were about 35 miles southwest of Uvalde.
Tom,
The mount turned out great except for one error on the part of the taxidermist. My buddy killed a 300lb red hog and its tusks where about an inch shorter then this one. When the taxidermist did both of our mounts, somehow he switched the...
Although I had an Impala on my list I gave that opportunity to VPD10 (Jim). Jim took a nice Blesbok (18 3/4") and an Impala. I don't remember what his impala measured.
Here is a pic of the second animal I took, on the 3rd day of the Safari. Our intention that day was to go after Springbuck but...
Anybody hog hunt in Texas?
Here is one a killed a few years back. I had a shoulder mount done of it. :)
Considering I am 6' 5" and 240lbs, how much does this hog weigh? :)
The bike picture is the model I bought earlier this year. Same color as well. I changed the pipes (as shown) to some shorter LOUDER ones. :)
So far I have 9300 miles on it. :)

Two months ago my bird hunting buddy passed away :(
She would of been 15 in Nov. In her lifetime she had over 600 pheasants shot over her head. The picture is her wanting at the 2 hen pheasants in front of me. This picture is about 5 years old.
I got (Duchess) when she was 6 months old and...
