First hunt for 2026

Treeman — Sun, 17 May 2026 08:33:22 +0000

We had no meat left, some mince and that was about it, been that way for 2-3 months actually. I even bought some lamb.
So Cody and I shot out to the farm, he bunked school, and I, well I just said "no work today". A retaliation for my staff not coming in recently.
We managed to get to the farm at 12.00, set up and be at first hunt spot by 14;00. Cody saw nothing, but I spotted a huge hog down below in the valley and called Cody. I have found I hunt as enjoyably through Cody these days as I did shooting myself. Cody again expressed shock that I would give my chance to him but did not argue much. The pig did not give us a side on shot, just facing us all the time. This is not a problem, as Cody does mostly head shots now for the market, but still prefers a good behind shoulder if not for market.
As, As as, the shot went of the pig twitched its head as a dog does for a fly bothering it, split second thing. I saw the bullet hit the ear and the impact high on body behind ear. The angle meant behind ear in down to behind last rib at sternum - one lung, maybe two, perhaps heart as well. The pig took off and I said again ! We could not risk it not really certain of shot. Cody shot it again, and again, still it ran ??????
Huh ?
It slowed down and Cody called head and dropped it. One tough pig. Skinning revealed first shot was between both lungs destroying most of both lungs.
But as pigs do, it just raaaaan.

1. All menu links function correctly.

2. The Classifieds permit messages to be sent to the advertiser, with a message indicator next to the login name in the header menu - top right of the page.

3. Business listings may be firearms specific, or any general services.

4. The self-registration page accepts new user registrations, which are activated by admin approval.

Please kick the tires a little, add your or other business listing, place an ad or two, and let me know if you find any kinks.

This is a hard fight . The assailants have very deep pockets, and corrupt government officials to impose their agenda for them.

Gun owners are using legal means to fight against politically affiliated agents who are using illegal and underhanded tactics.

GFSA is a NGO financed initiative. If anyone cares to dig deeper, perhaps a British NGO, attacking gun ownership here as they attacked Australia and Canada ?

Our politicians are currupt to the highest level, and if all else fails, I believe gun ownership will be erased by decree. Then the chips will fall as they will.

@janfred The original advert boards are read-only now, to direct all new ads to the Classifieds.

There is no direct PM feature available for the forum. You can send messages to advertisers in the Classifieds.

You should get a notification email when the forum reply includes '@' your name.

Can't even send a PM. Am I doing something wrong?

Well, I tried to send a reply to Oafpatrol in the wanted section. Seems like it is not allowed. Do we have to PM the thread starter now, or is all the old wanted ads locked?

Hellooooo!!!! It looks as though the new setup has caused a total freeze in responses. I would like to hear your stories.
