Hi folks,
I am from the Wichita area (work there live just north of there), still have a couple of small family plots down in Ok (around Braman), inherited from mom's parents. They farmed around there until they retired in the 70's, sold most of it, and moved into town, and both are gone now.
Been a rough last 2 years trying to get venison into my freezer (pretty bad for me to get skunked one year, let alone 2 LOL), but decided to try my hand at augmenting said freezer with some of the pork you folks seem to be teeming with.
Besides, ya'all seem to be not quite as 'overrun' as Texas is, and I'm by nature a helpful soul.
For a living I work on Learjets. 8 yrs ago I retired from 2 decades of work in they Ks. Air National Guard as well (most of it in Security).
An outdoors person, motorcycle rider (not much time lately sadly), boater, hunter, recreational shooter (the way I shoot IDPA and 3-gun competition, it's 'recreational" LOL)
Anyhow,, funny as my ex-GI status makes my extreme dislike of AR's (yea, don't like them, mostly the gas system, but folks who love them, are more than welcome to them, hey,, it's America), that dislike makes the next thing even crazier,
No disrespect to my deer rifle one bit (dad's Browning BAR, .308 Winchester), but, I decided to make a "Hoggin' Rifle", which is, an LR-308 I assembled myself.
Don't ask me to explain it, I can't, and it MIGHT sound hypocritical LOL. She's a sweet shooter, the scope just get put on yesterday so some more shooting is on order for today (weather permitting). Yesterday was tied tight in smoking 2 hams and making a nice dinner for us 3.
I've been making ammunition ever since dad taught me this hobby (sickness) back in the late 70's so I could load our trap shells instead of him having to (single-stage MEC press).
That disease has grown over some 35+ years into 3 shotgun gauges, 2 rifle calibers, and 5 handgun cartridges, nearly every round I fire is home-made, and no, I haven't, I try extremely hard to never blow anything up. So far,, I've been very successful.
Well, I look fwd. to getting comfortable here and any advice, tips, or requests for pig-shooting help, are all greatly appreciated.
