La. Hunter - Running la briars - 12-11-2020
Hey guys, Ive been reading some of the threads on here for a while looking for some information and Im hooked some Awesome builds on here had to join.
Some information on me and why I joined
I live in Louisiana and Im a big rabbit hunter and deer and hog hunter
Ive hunted deer and hog and run rabbit dogs since I was fourteen
Tracking though swamps and briars with beagles with a 8 lb shotgun started to be work
So I now pack a 5.5 lb 410 i kill just as many With it
Then opening day of deer season I got busted
The wind changed and the blowing started I got down and went to another place to do a little Slippin and spotted a 100 lb hog and dropped it with a Remington in 308 its probably around 8.5 pounds with Leupold scope wanting to get something liter to pack around like I did with my shotgun.
I had been looking at the 6.8 spc and 6.5 Grendel to build a bolt or auto on around 5 lb. with a 18 barrel for easy packing though the briars. dont want to cut up my Remington
Im going with the 6.5 Grendel Plenty of punch with mild recoil and most shots under 120 yards to build something on. What it going to be I dont know after seeIng all the builds on here that are super nice and accurate to boot.
Learned one thing all ready the liter you go the more it cost you.
Thanks, Keepmmmmmm running

Loggy bayou is amazing if you have the right boats set up to hunt it and can operate as a ninja. Because if you get seen bringing out a good buck, you will have a crowd following you from that point on.
I know from personal experience on that.
I live on toledo bend and hunt kisatchie, dewy wells, thistlwait, red river, peason, red dirt, sabine, sabine island, tensas, clear creek, and the basin.
I move around alot
