Hello from Sandy, Utah. I've been following threads for a long time. Every now and then I have a question, so I signed up. I'm no expert, but have been hunting since I was eight, crowding 59 right now, shooting for "120"! ha. I'm a Preacher who doesn't golf, race cars, or into fishing very much, so I handload/shoot/hunt/play with rifles. I've been married ( to the same woman) going on 38 years now, have 36yr old twin daughters, two great Son In laws (one is a GNY SGT) and the world's greatest grandchildren ( three of them, 2 girls, 1 boy)
I grew up in SE Texas, "the Big Thicket", took me 20 years to get a shot past 90 yards! I have had the great priviledge to hunt several states, South Africa, Namibia, and served for two years as a soldier in the US Army ('71-'73) plus three years in the Texas Nat'l Guard & Reserves. I enjoy reading others experiences, and answering questions if I can. I use humor whenever possible, do not do "counseling" on the web (that's what their Pastor is for!) and do not argue (life's too short, besides, I can wait until we get to Heaven to "prove" I'm right"! ha) God bless, I look forward to reading more of you guys exploits & adventures!

The pics is of me (the fat guy on the left, and my church VP with some hogs we shot in Castle Dale, Ut last year. he used my 30.06/Nosler 200 partition elk load, and I used a wildcat 22/6mm and 75gr Swift, both head/neck shots, caught them bedded up at 25yds-back to Big Thicket range it seems!)
