Sorry guys to abandon the thread, but I was off to the farm again.

Here in NW Florida we have little deer and big hogs. It is hot, wet and swampy over a good bit of the area. A good bit like E Texas. It is #1 hog heaven. All puns intended.

I do like my 35 Cal guns as a minimum and I really like the 444 Marlin as the "end of argument" gun. The 444 is just about perfect for the 400-600 pound beauties you run into around here. A 300 grain bullet makes Mr. Porker do the wobbly dance and play dead for a long time.

GOB, I have a buddy that shot a big hog with a 270, at 50 yards, right between the eyes. Hog hits ground, jumps up, runs off without a scalp. Bullet glanced off skull. Get big or stay on the porch.
Best,
Ed
