... but the never ending search for hogs continue. Good old Joe offers the Ranch Dog a drink!

Hi Ranch Dog,
How's the wounded knee doing? Looking forward to some load developement for the 444, do you plan on posting the results?

The knee is getting better all the time. I just started going out to the range late this week and my friend, Joe, and I started looking for hogs yesterday to test the bullet on. MikeG is heading down this way this afternoon and we will pickup where Joe and I left off.

I've been running my bullet mold notes here, please feel free to add any of your experiences with the mold... Lee Custom Mold for the 444 Marlin - Part II (http://www.shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?p=78558#post78558)

Ranchdog,
We spent all of last weekend in North Central Texas moving stands, taking down feeders and the associated barbed wire pens around them and moving all and setting up again. This was all done with a cool front and the temps were only in the low 80's. I am glad that we got it all done now and not in Sept when it is 105 F. We didn't see any hogs this trip and they don't seem to come around our lease till later in the year. It was sure fun getting out and about and getting out of the city for awhile, even if it was a lot of labor. The lease was really lush this year and should be a good fawn drop and good horns later. It is going to be a good year!
