Gentlemen, I will be travelling because of work to Shawano, Wisconsin, near end of January, it is possible to do any big game hunting at those dates ? Also maybe I will need to go near houston, Texas. Any help is welcome. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year L

A little bit south from your home..... :mrgreen: I am from Uruguay, bordering with Argentina and south of Brazil. Summer time down here !!!!!!! Google Punta del Este and you will see what normal people of my country do during summer while the crazy ones like I spend the nights chasing pigs...

I just arrived from a friend's farm. 600 acres of just harvested wheat sorrounded by thornbush. I walked from 8 pm to 5am !!!!!!!!!!!!! I only saw ONE pig and it seemed he was riding a motorbike, I was unable to cut distances. A pity because the night was warm and the yellow harvested fields...

Thanks gentlemen, Which kudu you are refering to ??? they are all different animals. The one I liked most is the one previous to the last one (sp?), That one was hunted in Namibia and I shot it with an 8mm Nosler Partition 200 gr (if I remeber well the bullet weight). I remeber that hunt very...

Gentlemen, I have a nice 270 win that I am using to hunt pigs. I am thinking in using it also for red stags (smaller than elks) next march. I have great confidence on Remington CL Round Nose 150 grains, but I have two boxes of the old Round Nose Speer bullets in 170 grains. I was thinking...

Why nobody here wants Round Nose bullets ???? :shock: They hit like a hammer and transfer energy quickly inside normal hunting distances L

Thanks Dr.Mike, indeed the 9,3x62 is a superb hunting caliber and his bigger brother, the 9,3x64 is as good as the venerable 375 H&H. Here is a buff and a pig taken with my 9,3x62 using 286 gr. Round Nose bullets :mrgreen: Sorry for hijacking the thread... :oops: L

JD338, Thanks for the bullet recomendation. There is another bullet I think I should try before and it's the Accubond. Imagine a Round Nose Accubond...that will be a cool looking bullet for hunting red stags in La Pampa's thick thornbush :grin: The following pictures are from game taken with...
