Monday I had to pick up a big box in the truck. VERY LONG story short, we met the delivery truck to get the box. The kid and I were together on this odyssey for 2.5 hours.
:laughing:We had a good time talking.
I told her some stories about myself and her granddad moving stuff and not securing the stuff well. And what happens when one gets in a hurry and does not do "it" right. She had a great time helping. It was dark by the time we got the big box and since I could not see the big box she was watched it all the way home.It was a simple chore to get the big box. It took far longer than expected, like many things in life. But we had some fun along the way. I think some things I said and did stuck with her.
Just doing "stuff" with the kiddos can give good memories and lessons to them. I had a similar trip with my other kid a few weeks ago. I do not think she will ever forget us holding hands, skipping out of Lowes, singing Jingle Bells. Course the people watching us either thought it was a hoot or I was nuts. :laughing:
:laughing:Enjoy that time with the kids any chance you can get...
Later,
Dan

Wow, nice bucks there fellas!
Right before sundown tonight I had a sow and a dozen piglets rooting around my backyard making a mess of the property eating up all the recent live oak acorns.
Did not want to kill the sow and have all the piglets without their momma but I sure could use some baby back BBQ ribs.
At a laser measured 155 yards I put the crosshairs of the scope on the head of a hog facing me. Pulled the trigger of a 75 grain Hornady handload and this one dropped dead while the others took to hoofing it off into the woods squeealing up a storm.
The piglet was about 30 pounds and DOA, the bullet had entered in the forehead between the eyes and came out behind the shoulders through the upper back, did not appear to fragment as the exit hole was just a pencil thin hole.
Gutted him out and skinned him and left the head on to BBQ him whole on the gas grill and then slow smoke him in the smoker with some mesquite wood until the meat falls off the bone.
I was completely surprised to see a tiny little exit hole out the top of his back right behind the shoulder? There really was no evidence of any bullet expansion or fragmentation.
I gutted him out from the neck down and dropped all the entrails on a plastic sheet.
Took the sheet out back and dropped the guts out in the open to use for coyote bait, however within 15 minutes there were two Bald Eagles on the remains fighting over the organs.
One Bald Eagle took the entire skin of the hog and flew into a large live oak right over my barn to devour it!

Nice shot. I like your Ak. I have an AR. Don't bash me:laughing: I was wondering what kind of scope you have? and is that an eotec on top?
Nice set up.

That is not an AK, but its piston driven Bolt Carrier Group is basically a modern AK design that the Swiss made for their SwissArms SIG 556 carbine. There is no buffer spring extending into the stock outside of the receiver on these rifles as a piston drives the bolt.
That is a SIG 556 with a 16" 1:7 inch twist rate barrel, it has a Burris 1-4X scope with a Burris Fast Fire Red Dot on top of the scope for use when the stock is folded on CBQ or thick woods.
I've killed many large hogs and coyotes out to 225 yards with it!
