    I’m still on my trip back home, after the exhibition in Las Vegas and two wonderful days with BobQ at the hut, in Texas.
    Great host and a great expert in guns, ammo and WWII history.
    We spent two nights stalking pigs (and meeting mostly wonderful deer), and the days napping and talking.
    It was my first experience at hunting, and we had to hike a lot before we found our herd. Just like I desired: earn the shot.
    I used an AR15 in .30 Remington AR with thermal scope (total news for me).
    Got my pig from 110 yards at the first shot.
    Poor Bob was boiling beside me, ‘cause he could see much better than me with a normal optic and would have been able to shoot much earlier than I was. But, in the end, mission accomplished.
    Here a few pics.
    Hut Arrangements!

    Feeder and shooting stand (small dot on the right). 110 yards from feeder.

    The pig hit and dropped on the spot.
    Diablo and me with the pig (real pro, Diablo!).
    Good bye to Texas at dawn. After a picture with the rifle used.


    Again: thanks Bob!
