RE: Scouting today - amusing pictures
Tim - I've got a few of them in the yard with the bow, but never really take the bow out "hog hunting" per se. Dang price of arrows and heads these days, I can't afford to huntthe stinkin things with anything other than a rifle. If you hunt the same spots every year, they seem to get pretty smart too.
Rick - You're definitely right, glassing deer and shooting hogs is my #3 PA activity too. I'd swear those whistlepigs know whena buck is out in the field. Seems like you'll sit there all day waiting to see a hog, then a buck steps out - then it's like that Whack-a-Mole game at Chuck-E-Cheese's - hogs popping up everywhere b/c they know you won't crank it loose with that buck standing there. LOL
By the way, that's a Savage 12vss 22-250 with sharpshooter custom trigger (15 oz - bought it justbefore the new accu-trigger [>:]) and a Swift 8-32x 50mm scope. No mil-dots, just a plain jain crosshair reticle (wish I had the mil-dots). Gun came block/pillar bedded in that choate stock, and it really shoots. Weird, the way that gun ismounted to the stock and the way the barrel is floated, it rings like a tuning fork after the shot. That scope really is a great piece of optics - just as good as any inexpensive spotting scope. When I scout for deer, this gun is my wingman.
