    Hog hunting near San Antonio?

    I just found out that I will be spending a week or so next spring in the San Antonio area and I was thinking that my son and I would take our rifles along and do some hog hunting while we're out that way. Can anyone recommend a reputable outfit to hunt with in that area? I figured some of you...

    Fire safe for powder storage.

    J.D.,you certainly are right,I have tested that theory. However,I have not set fire to a full can of Goex just for the hell of it. LOL!! :grin:

    Fire safe for powder storage.

    It has always been my understanding that it was safest to store powder (black or smokeless) in it's original container. If you store it in a safe you have just created a bomb. In it's original container it will burn violently but you won't get an explosion as if it were "restricted" by a strong...

    removeable breech plug

    Maybe,I'm the black sheep here but I find it easier to clean my hooked breech rifles than I do my rifles with removable breech plugs. With a hooked breech rifle you patch the barrel until clean,dry,& oil. With a removable plug you patch the barrel until clean,dry,& oil,and then you clean the...

    rough breech H&R Stalker

    I am not familiar with the design of an H&R Stalker but the diameter of your barrel where the load "sits" SHOULD be the same as the rest of the barrel unless it has a patent breech design and in that case the diameter of the patent breech would be ALOT smaller than the rest of the barrel so your...

    Hunting sights

    The stock T/C sights with a little white paint,white-out,or nail polish added to the round "bead" part on top of the front blade works great for me in fading light.

    Powder & Lead

    I carry 4 patched balls in a ball block and 4 pre-measured powder charges in plastic tubes while deer hunting. I have a small brass priming flask with enough 4f to change my prime several times if necessary,and also carry an extra flint or 2 just in case. This is for a day hunt,if I were going...

    Best sights for low light situations

    As said above,a dot of white paint does the trick for me too.

    How often to refresh your prime ?

    Thanks again,all of this makes perfect sense. I am in eastern Va. so I will keep a close eye on it. Happy huntin' to ya'll and may the good lord take a likin' to ya!! :hatsoff:

    Missed one

    I too have killed lots of deer (and other fine game as well) over the years,a couple that any man would be proud of and I still get this feeling as well. I say the day your heart stops racing when you have game in your sights is the day you have lost touch with the true meaning of the hunt.
