When are you going to quit telling us how good of a hunter you are and go hunt? Sorry you missed the party, the Dallas Cowgirls Cheerleaders did show up and after a few, and some warm ups, did an impromptu cheer for the Packrat and company! Probably better that you didn't show up. That way everyone could keep their footing and not have to step around your messes! AND the air was refreshingly breathable!
Scmblr showed up and brought the kids. Really cute kids. I can't believe how lucky he is that those kids don't look like him! ..........Maybe I shouldn't go there again!
As far as Len, well let me tell you that in spite of the verbal chastisement, I had the last word on the subject! Yep, slicker than goose excreta on a tile floor, I said, "Yes Sir". Maybe not the most creative comeback I've ever used, but effective! I didn't actually think that the post was something that everyone on LRH would be interested in, but was more or less keeping it "in house". Oh well! Twice in a little over a week! One more and I'm out? Well, if I decide to violate house rules again, or inadvertently step in it, it will be in coming after you!
The only thing that has kept you from being 86'd already has been the fact that I lend dignity to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl and some of the Admin staff do have a sense of humor! They'd have to have, after seeing your picture!
Anyway, go kill some Hogs and post some pictures. Video's, since you can't Photoslop them as easy!
Wish we had a few more people on here with daily or even weekly access to hogs and not so many lurkers!

Packrat,
I applaud you assuming the voice of reason on this thread. I thought about it, but insulting DJ is just too much fun! Now that we have to watch ourselves, I'm having difficulty in coming up with non-offense things to add to the conversation.
One of the residents that I work with has access to a 3,000 acre farm and just saw hog sign on the property. We are planning a trip in March when he gets off the trauma rotation. Hope to have pics to add shortly.
shooting a 300 ham'r from wilson combat with 125gr tnt.
OK, from the above statement, That adds up to about $14 -16,000 worth of rifle and accessories. Just to shoot smelly old Hogs! So in my own self defense, and not to be outclassed, guess I have to post my favorite Hog rifles and ammo.
OK, so here goes! I call this post "Shooting on the Cheap!"
Ammo - I order the highest class M-80 7.62 x 51 FMJ from Lake City Industries. By buying in 500 Rd bulk, on sale, they cost me about .58 per round and the local reloaders trade me reloaded rounds for the empty brass since the heavier military brass can be reloaded many multiples of times! My postman keeps trying to get me to change to .223 every times he delivers an order of 500 rds, which lasts about 4 months since I go to the range a lot when it is warmer! I sometimes wonder if the Hogs feel slighted when I kill them with such a mundane round. These rounds are accurate (1 MOA +/-) out to about 600 meters and will kill darn near anything you can hit! I have no idea the FPS or Foot pounds at whatever range, just that it will kill hogs, which is all I hunt anymore. I can fire 4 rounds for what it cost djones to fire 1, but as you can tell, I am a just a snobbish purist. If I was shooting long range, which I no longer do, good old Military M- 113(?) Sniper ammo works fine unless competing.
Rifles - I have 3 Springfield Armory M1A rifles,
1) A Super match with a Springfield Armory 6-24 x 56 Scope readable in mils. The scope cannot even be zero'd at less than 400 yards, so suspect it is a ex-military scope. I loaned a guy $800.00, with the rifle/scope as security, when he was going through a divorce and he never came back for it. This was like 8-10 years ago. i used to shoot regularly at 800 yards with this rifle and it is extremely accurate, but heavy!
2) Bought new, SA National Match which has a 6-24 x 50 Carl Zeiss AOMC scope when not using iron sights. This is my preferred Hog hunting rifle and handles the M-80 rounds quite well. I have the original Walnut stock and also an Archangel synthetic, but both are heavy stocks. I just got a Fiberglass stock for it trying to reduce weight and am playing with the setup.
3) SA M1A Socom 18" - This is the Rifle my lady uses, unless she wants to use the Marlin 336, 30-30 I bought her for her Birthday. Usually she likes the Semi-auto function of the Socom when hunting hogs though! It also handles the M-80 rounds quite well.
The only other hog rifle worth noting, is a Remington 700 VTR, in .308 which has a long story behind it and resulted in Remington giving me a brand new rifle because of manufacturing defects. Maybe some other time!
So as you can tell, I have to have the absolute best when hunting Hogs and I'm sure they appreciate my consideration!

Yeah, scmblr, but having to rethink the way I normally talk is slowing me down. for example from now on have to use PYPLTMP (Press your puckered lips to my posterior) rather than the alternative when talking to djones. 4 more letters that I have to type to get the same message across. And how about GECRWAW (Go Establish Carnal Relations with a Waterfowl) just doesn't have the same ring to it. Sigh!
Glad you are getting a chance to go hunting and if it's a farm, you may be able to get some distance on the shots, but be sure to watch the background. Even djones, when he is shooting on his video's, when he gets a house or civilization in the background, doesn't take the shot. I do have to give him that credit, although I have seen 2 dead cows in his video's, which he claimed were there when he got there. He is right, they were there, but standing up and eating grass!
Bring us some dead hog pictures!

i hear there are lots of folks in the political forum wanting to chat. perhaps you should try over there. PLEASE go try over there.
altho i did enjoy your 'shooting by the creep' story. it had all the excitment of your dallas party where you backed your little money maker up to the guests and asked for tips
if he works with you he will NEVER get over the trauma

Hunter,
Better watch out, you may end up on his bad side! But then again, in retrospect, I'm not sure he has a good side! I think Coy Franks once said on this thread that djones had a photographic memory, I believe it! I just think he's out of film!

You talking to me?

Hunter,
We've tried everything with DJ but everything we try ends in failure. Suggestions about personal hygiene and social graces go ignored. Opinions on the appropriateness of his personal interactions get laughter.
Even though it can be embarrassing to be seen with him in public, he can find hogs with the best of them and makes some entertaining videos. I'm starting to wonder if his simpleton schtik is just a clever ruse to lull us all into a false sense of security...
