Boys,
Flying in to Dallas Monday to kill your pigs and kiss your women....
Hunting in Mount Vernon on a day lease.
A5B, DNS & Popeye,
I know you guys probably already have a lot of spa appointments already scheduled for that week......but if you can break away to hunt with me or at least come by and have a cup of coffee with me that would be great.
I have a brand new Thermion XM38 that came in Monday that I am hunting with for the first time.
Using 129ABLR?s for the first time as well.
Live Big Every Day,
Chuck

I would but that's a bit to far outside my area of operations lmao. I put the brakes on at the Sabine river.
Good luck on the hunt.

Good luck. Will be watching for a field report, curious on how those ABLRs perform.
The Absolute Vilest Horde Member Is Planning An Invasion - CJW - 02-26-2020
Thanks A5B.....
I do want to get several of the Hoard members together for a hunt.......perhaps in E Texas.....I can fly to Shreveport
Popeye lives kinda close by.

I will keep you posted 65, very excited about ABLR’s.
This new scope has a bit of a learning curve. I’ve used a Photon RT for a long time, this is my first thermal.
When the instructions say “ All of the main menu functions are intuitive” you need to run like heck.
I spent all day at the club getting comfortable with the operation of the scope.
Last night I made stalks on every cow in Cobb Co.

Your preparation sounds better than most folks that I know that get a new scope. I don't know if I can swing hunting, but maybe we could meet for a meal? I will text you...
I don't know most folks know what intuitive means, LOL. I have used all of Pulsar's thermals. None were intuitive. Some you could figure out pretty easily, but that isn't the same thing.
The Absolute Vilest Horde Member Is Planning An Invasion - CJW - 02-27-2020
We will get together DNS.
Very interested in talking about pigs.

If it wasn't a weekday I could almost justify the drive (excuse to get out for a bit outside of my normal area). Plus it'd be nice to a side by side with the XM & XP 38's.
Sadly no one is "cross trained" to do my job so taking time off is an act of congress. Have fun & slaughter all you can or run em further up north :p!

Hope yall are wearing them out Chuck.
The Absolute Vilest Horde Member Is Planning An Invasion - CJW - 03-03-2020
DG and I killed 2 last night.
Mine was SO much bigger than his, its killing him.
Weagle, PM me your contact information.

CJW,
details on the load/bullet? did you take the pig apart to see how the bullet performed or not?

Don't know his load for it but he said the 129gr Accubond Long Range is the bullet this time around. I would expect large perminant entry wounds and a lot of damage in the first 7 +/- depending on shot location and angle with very goo penetration from the shank of the bullet. Hopefully he will report with pictures
The Absolute Vilest Horde Member Is Planning An Invasion - CJW - 03-04-2020
In NE Texas still, leaving for Atlanta in the morning........
Will get you the load data when I get home.
129 ABLR.......simply devastating......
Killing a bunch of pigs.
The Absolute Vilest Horde Member Is Planning An Invasion - CJW - 03-06-2020
Hunt report to follow soon.....
Just exhausted from staying out late every night.
Had dinner with Double Naught Spy....
Killed 4 pigs.
