Better And Better: Success!

Monday, April 01, 2013

We took off in a Pilatus PC-12/45.

And we hunted in the southern part of the Texas Panhandle.

We saw some weather, but got little.

We hiked through some country.

What you can only get a hint of is that there are some steep canyons all through that area.

And Dad killed a good-sized hog (~200 to 225 lbs), finally blooding the new .45-70 Guide Gun that I'd given him for his 60th birthday, a decade ago.

I have pork on ice to tend to. A good time, with good camaraderie.

'Grats on a successful trip. 'Tho I suspect it was successful before the shot was fired.

Congrats to Johnny.
