Shooter, Eman
They're back. Getting some turf torn up around the pecan trees on the new property pretty regular now. I guess all this rain is making their presence more noticeable.
I checked the regs again and it appears that there is a new caveat to the night time hunt allowing you to use center-fire rifles at night with a permit from the district office. I don't know what's required to get the permit but I do think we will have better success at night. If I bought a gun it would be a lever action chambered for 30-30 Winchester. It looks like I can get a heavy, slow round for this caliber so I don't have to worry about taking out a neighbor. I wonder if the rifle round has anything to do with the permit. I'd think buckshot would make a bit of a mess and the 22lr would just make the bigger ones mad. That may be why they added the center-fire permit, too many people complaining about not being to effectively take down the big ones.
With SELA just 3 months out do we want to start harvesting them, do we want to start feeding them or should I just get rid of them? The night season goes through the end of August but daytime hunts are allowed year round.
Keep in touch Buffalo brisket, wild boar back strap, pork butt, beef brisket, oyster poboys, pastalaya, abts, dry cured bacon, sweet rolls, biscuits, Cajun cornbread, coonass grits, smoked andouille, Shooterrick's breakfast sausage, eggs, baked beans, cole slaw, pork candy, fried onion rings, cracklins, purple hull peas and sweet potatoes from the garden, Margaritas and good Scotch. I have a family gathering the weekend before (fair week) so I'll probably have a keg of beer in the fridge. Did I miss anything? Looks like you guys need to take off Thursday so we can get started eating all this food. I'm hungry already.
Really looking forward to it.
