I got out to the woods again yesterday. The jar of peanut butter I hung up was still there. At least I know now how to keep the raccoons from getting it (and anything else, apparently). I did some tree knocks but there were no replies. I can't remember if I mentioned before that I got replies to my tree knocks from that location from two different directions the first time I tried. My wife was with me, but now she won't go back there anymore. LOL. It was hot, but not nearly as bad as last time. I went and waited on the hogs, but they didn't cooperate either. I've shot two hogs, one with 7.62x39 and one with a 30/30. On both occasions the hogs ran off and I was unable to find them. I never saw any buzzards or smelled anything so they might not have died. The one I shot with the 30/30 was enormous, the biggest one I've ever seen. From now on I'm using my shotgun with 1 1/4 oz RIO "armored" slugs at 1510 fps. If that won't drop them, I give up! Oh yeah, I got two trail cams today. I plan on getting them figured out and set up in the next few days. Stay tuned...

Bot. A round fired from that rifle at that velocity would destroy you. Calling a fictional story.

Perhaps you should limit your comments to things that you actually know something about. Apparently you know little to nothing about guns and ammunition. You don't even know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. By the way, I have some slugs that have velocities higher than 1510 fps, although the weight of the slug is 1 oz. I have some Black Aces Tactical 1 oz slugs that have a velocity of 1640 fps. In your world I guess those slugs will destroy the universe. 7.62x39 and 30/30 have velocities considerably faster than any 12 ga slug.
