After i replied the last time, I got to thinking, that some times my views and opinions are somewhat parochial. By that, I mean that I have only hunted hogs in Texas and not elsewhere.

Sir/Madam,
I hunt out of a camp, and have a camper, so I do not have to pack light. Also here we typically hunt out of stands, quadpods, tripods or ground blinds.

Sir,

I recently converted it and its cousin, a 141 chambered for the 30-06...
Won't be long, it will be the time of year I live for.
For a couple seasons, this guy would hang around our camp.
I took to calling him "Scraps"
He loved getting his pix taken and enjoyed pork as much as I do.
