2014 Lone Star Boars members get-together.

[rgilbert]

I just go off of the phone with a guy about getting us a live hog to view through the NV and thermal. Ident has been kind enough to send me a W-1000 and an L320 thermal monocular for demo. It's starting to come together.

 

[EGarza04]

Very nice! I can't wait!

Glad to see that the 18th date was agreed upon. I have a hog hunt down near Choke Canyon the previous weekend, so now I will get to do both. I plan to arrive on Saturday and stay till Sunday.
I will bring some venison sausage for all of us to enjoy and maybe some fresh hog to put on someone's smoker.
Also, I have finished updating my Mosin Nagant and will bring it along to show. It now has an Archangel stock, updated scope mount rail and a new Timney trigger. I plan to use it for the hog hunt the weekend (10th) before our meet and greet. Lookin' forward to the event!!

[rgilbert]

Look forward to seeing you

I still should be good to make it out, but it will probably be just one day, thinking Saturday, unless those who can only make it one day are mostly gonna be Friday guys

 

[EGarza04]

You can add a +1 to me. Looks like the wife and I will be there around 2 or 3 on Saturday. We would be there earlier but we have something to spring out of NFA jail in Austin and the place doesn't open till noon.

 

[rgilbert]

Sounds good

Lucky you! I can't seem to get mine a bail hearing.

HA! I was supposd to have them 5 months ago but the ATF screwed up my stamps. I only know of one of my stamps that is fixed so far, hopefully the other will be there by the time I am.


For those of you looking to book a hotel room, I found an Americas Best Value Inn in Rockdale that was $30 cheaper than the one in Calwell. Total room price after taxes was less than $80.

 

[rgilbert]

And Rockdale is not a bad drive from my place either.

That's why I picked it. From your description in this thread of where your place is, it should be around 20 minutes.

Does that sound about right?

 

[BigRedDog]

I think that is about right

Yes sir.

 

[EGarza04]

Perfect!

 

[Eddy Gein]

Will there be a directions post? or did I skim over that?
Food list? I can bring a side.
I make some means beans, chili, mashed tater salad ect. just say the word.(you can ask the Lawman about my vittles)

 

[Eddy Gein]

Ok I Pm'd rgilbert, I'm bringing potato salad.

ten to fifteen miles. I'm 8 miles north of Caldwell and about 6 south of Milano. TLM and I were looking at the weekend of the 18 so Ident could attend. Depending on the amount of people that show up it may be hard to plan a hunt. I need to build some type of backstop with poly barrels full of sand for a small shoot. I have access to several rifle targets. I will check with a buddy about him bringing up his auto reset steel. I don't think we need to have any full auto for the first gathering. Lets see how it plays out with the neighbors. BRD has a thermal hog target that we could LOOK at through thermal. He doesn't want anyone to shoot it. Cheap bastard. I have twenty acres and I keep five of it mowed short around the barn for a camping area. The other fifteen is a hay field so we can have a five hundred yard view with NV and thermal.

BTW no brass catchers are allowed. All brass becomes property of the host. JUST KIDDING

You almost lost me on that one! LOL

 

[BigRedDog]

I am going to Pete's Fine Meats for Frank's big Texas Steak. Looking to get a 48 oz Porterhouse.

It should be awesome.

I understand that it is only an appetizer here in Texas.

 

[FrankT]

Too bad Frank will not be there to eat it.

 

[BigRedDog]

Don't ya'll need to look for houses or something?
