If you really want to see how a round works actually shoot something that is alive with it. I hunt wild hogs all the time with dogs. My hunting buddies tried the 9mm and they just did not work that well. Actually the 357 did not either because I have put good shots on hogs with them and had them run.

The 45 works much better and it will put a hog down. I tested one hog where I shot behind the shoulder and another quartering shot through the chest. Then I opened up the hog and looked at the wound channel. All I can tell you is that you do not want to be shot with a 45 because the wound channel is devastating.

I have seen a hog shot through the lungs with a 9mm that ran about 10 yards and died. That is the only one. I try to put one in the hog's ear or neck if possible. Another good shot is high in the hips with the 45. It breaks bone and the hog will never get away. AND if he gets after you he will be slower and you can get up a tree or get more shots.

Another thing is that all bullets do not expand the same even though they are alike and the same ammunition. All hollow points do not open up but close up forming a cylinder. I dug the bullets out of hogs and checked for myself and did not rely on what was written in a magazine.

It rained like a cow pissing on a flat rock last night and has rained most of the day. We have a couple of main roads closed and no telling how many secondary roads. Some dumb ass will drive off into some water across a road, get their ass washed down stream, and drown.

Looks like it is going to screw up my fishing down on the coast with too much fresh water.

Seems everybody dislikes JFF. Why not just trade him? Everybody would be happy.

Last I heard his father was selling cars in Kilgore, Tx..

Bullshit. We kicked the Mexicans ass or we would still be part of Mexico. Kicked the Comanches ass too. AND kicked a bunch of outlaws ass to boot. Commit a capital crime in Texas and you get the death penalty.

I cannot wait. Whether you like JFF or not he will put asses in the seats. More people will probably watch this game than any Browns game this year.

Clowney needs to have surgery on his labia. He will NEVER be a factor for the Texans.

Clowney tore his labia.

Johnny would have won this game hands down. Hoyer is a broke dick that needs to be riding the pine.

I read today that Clowney will be out for the remainder of the season with knee surgery.

Complete bust.

Vince Young couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the "c" and "t". He didn't score double digits on the wonderlic test.

My mind will never change about Jerry and. I am done with his ass period. I would have to have something like battered wives syndrome to root for any team of his. Two teams that I will never root for no matter what are the eagles and the redskins.

choco--I was a Cowboy fan since 1960. Used to watch Eddie Lebaron in the Cotton Bowl for 1.00 ticket price. Jerry has ruined it for me and my hate for him is stronger than my love for the Cowboys.

The only time I go to Jerry World is when we have high school play offs. All of them are held there and it is a 3 day event. Our local high school team went to Ohio in 2005 to play a game in Columbus. It just so happened that it was the worst team we had in years. If there is a really really good player playing in high school I make it a point to go and watch them play.

Jerry is a dick with ears and the Cowboys will never be jack shit as long as he is running things. He is still trying to prove he can draft as good as Jimmy Johnson. There is about as much chance of that happening as a feist whipping two bulldogs. I am pissed at them and the Texans.

I watch teams that have Aggies on them or players that played high school ball around the east Texas area.

Gipper--I don't know what Sploosh is but you could plant a 1015 in Vidalia and it would be a Vidalia onion. Lots of people come to Noonday, Tx. looking for Noonday Onion sets. All of their sets come from Crystal City, Tx.. It is all in the soil.

If you mash the top of a Noonday Onion down it will tend to make the onion bigger around but kind of flat. You can take one of these and slice it and eat it as a sandwich and they are great.

Dez Bryant is from Lufkin, Tx. which is a little east Texas town just south of Tyler, Tx.. If you want to know what is wrong with him it is this---his mother is also his sister.

The 1015 onion was developed by Texas A&M University. They are a very good onion and just now coming off in our area. Lots of the onion sets are raised in Crystal City, Tx. which is also the spinach capitol of the world. It has a statue of Popeye downtown. They are a so called sweet onion but are dependent on the soil in which they are raised. The Vidalia onion is raised in Vidalia, Ga. and is a sweet onion. I live near Noonday, Tx. and it has soil very similar and produces very sweet and tasty onions. I know people that have made over 3,000.00$ per acre raising onions. When you go to buy them they are higher than giraffe pussy.

I have heard some people say higher than giraffe pussy which is pretty damn high off of the ground.

Cysco Kid--A guy I hunt with used to have a Catahoula colored dachshunds. If you don't know what that is imagine one that is blue merle with some black and brown spots. Everything else is the same. He took him hog hunting with us and it would jump on anything it could catch. It was real good if you ran into a mess of pigs in the brush and briars. They were low to the ground and could get around in the thick stuff. Once they latched they would not let go. Some folks use them for tracking dogs on wounded game.

Some people use Jack Russell Terriers and Jag Terriers. A Jag is the same thing as a JRT except it is marked up like a dobie or rot and they weigh about 20-25 lbs. Either one will jump on anything, anytime, and anyplace. I had a Jag for a while but finally got rid of it because it was just too damn hard headed for me. When I tell a dog to load up it is not an option. Mine got to jacking around and wouldn't load so I left her in the woods. A guy called me 3 days later about her and I told him he could have her but I was not making another trip to pick that dog up. She wound up down in Tibideaux, La. hunting hogs in sugar cane fields. Some are wired haired and don't cut easy.

My son lives in Buffalo, New York and when I would go visit him everybody wants to talk about JFF. As soon as they see that Aggie hat they light up. What surprised me is that it was all over the country. I knew Manziel was popular but had no idea it was anything like that.
