I would welcome a broad...maybe even a tramp.

Hey

. Pickwick is like you. He likes women, except he knows how to keep 'em.

Yeah, I found a keeper early in life. Sure saves a lot of hassle and money.

I'm in the process of wearing out #3. They break easy.

Just got back from an unsuccessful hog hunt in Georgia

We don't always get one, but most of the time we get two or three. We hunt in a bottom near the river on an old road cut that is criss crossed in places by an old logging road. We get there toward evening and just walk the road and find them out rooting. I don't think I have ever had a shot over 40 yds. No really big ones usually...my biggest was 250, but my friend shot a 370 pounder last year. The guy at my gun shop hunts the other side of the river and has one mounted that went 580 lbs. We are overrun with them...coyotes, too. I live in a big dairy county, and my friend asks me to come up to his farm and shoot coyotes. I've killed a couple, but they are not easy to get. I think I am going to put out a dead calf or a road kill deer and set up in a blind. My wounded rabbit call doesn't seem to do the trick. They are a real pain...they steal chickens, kill calves and young goats, and even attack domestic pets sometimes.

We had a problem with teams of dog hunters showing up the day before I did. I used to record rabbits screaming when I fed my pet Burmese pythons, then used that to call yotes in. Works. What part of Georgia. I live about 70 miles south of Valdosta

I'm about 80 miles south of Atlanta in the Oconee National Forest. Great hunting and fishing. I drove the backroads from Apopka, Fla. to Waycross, Ga. not long ago and saw several black bears and a good bit of other game. There is a fence along part of that road. Is that a preserve or something?
