    Out of curiosity, would you be open to letting people hunt your land to help clear them out a bit? Assuming they abide by any rules and limitations you set of course

    Very cool, that's epic. I've only encountered a defined sounder once, my first time out. They were pretty dumb. First shot whiffed, didn't spook them at all. As soon as I lifted the bolt to rack another round, they spooked. Got one running by a miraculous stroke of luck. 10 yards. Calling...

    It depends a lot on the specific biome you're in. I have become aware of their presence by hearing, sight and smell, but usually it is sight first in my experience. Several times smell was what did them in. Just gotta be ready for the opportunity when it happens, you usually don't have a lot of...

    Cape Buffalo Packing Some Lead

    Yeah... if it were me, I would perform extensive testing/practice with any gun, and only take it if it proved totally reliable.

    Cape Buffalo Packing Some Lead

    There are AR style rifles chambered in 300 win mag and one I have seen in 338 Lapua magnum. 7000 ft lbs on that one. I don't know anything about Africa but there should definitely be a semi auto gear solution available from somewhere. No it is not a double rifle but any gear item can fail.

    Will add that they do need a lot of calories, and being rooters, unless they're eating acorns or nuts on the ground, they've got to feed a lot. There's some really good sources on pig behavior on the net, sows vs boars wise. Re bedding areas, every one I have seen just makes intuitive sense to...

    I do not mountain hunt for pigs but it sounds epic. Pretty much all of my hunting is flat land, thick timber, swamps, thick stuff in general. I don't know anything about pigs outside of FL but attempting to put myself mentally in their place seems to work for finding them, mixed with a large...

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    17' f350 6.2 v8 would be a good choice. Don't think you need it either but it will be a tank. Those 6.2s if well maintained are some of the best modern engines ford is making. Pretty efficient for their displacement and should run a very long time.

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    You might be right actually. I know it was one of the more recent coyote generations. I think the one that upped compression to 12:1, combo port and direct injection. Cannot recall exactly but it is on the F150 forums.

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    And want to note that mileage with a tundy does not have to be bad. I have a high rise camper shell on mine which took off about 1.5 mpg overall, and I still have an all time average of 16.5 mpg. On highway I get about 17-18.5. Edited to add: I achieve this by not having a lifted truck, and...

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    Re the titan XD, some people have had great success with them, but I have not heard of an engine with a greater track record of busting crankshafts than the 5.0 Cummins. From what I understand, Nissan pushed Cummins to increase power output beyond Cummins preferred margins of safety, so they...

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    If I had to buy new now I would definitely go for an f250 with the 6.2. TBH I have hauled heavy more frequently than I thought I would have, and have found myself wanting (not really needing though) an F250 instead. Specifically an F250 crew cab 8'bed 4x4, 6.2 gas, low trim but with power...

    Advice on a used truck 25-30k

    Not so much the body, moreso the frame, suspension components, rear end, etc. The major steel components that need rust proofing. TBH if I wanted a half ton for non-outdoorsy truck work I would absolutely take a tundra over anything else. Frame is stout, engine is well built, the rear end is...

    WTS EXO 1800 ranger bag + lid straps + internal stash pouch

    As title states and pictures show. I never used it but it appears it was used by prior owner. 2nd pic shows the only "wear" I can find. Some staining is all. Got as part of a package deal, have no use for it. $150 shipped, prefer PayPal but open to discussion re options. Ask any questions you...
