Howdy from Texas

You’re still hunting at 87, you wear whatever the hell you want. Good on you. :cool:

They are also known as a “Texas Timex” for good reason.

I used to hunt that area exclusively back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Based out of a cabin in Crestone. Rugged area. Seems there are no foothills at all. Right off of the valley floor to straight up. Good read there.

Since you asked, there are 3 shots a hunter will take on an elephant by design for the 1st shot. A frontal brain shot, a side brain shot and a heart / lung shot. The shot that would require the least amount of energy from the projectile would be the side brain shot. So you approach with a...

Went understated, I see. :cool:

It probably functions exactly as advertised. And will kill the hearing of your PH and your trackers, and a game scout if one is around, and anyone else in your hunting group. I suppose they are great for a guy hunting alone with ear protection. I’m assuming it’s a ported system.

These are thoughts that have never once entered my thought process. I can say that with certainty. Reminds me of conversations we once had as college freshmen. That said, I like to shoot elephants with the biggest cartridge I can shoot well. How about you? And if I were to be shot by a big...

Man, that’s some Austin thinking right there! I’m trying to wrap my pea brain around it, but it just keeps going in circles! :cool:

I shoot a 404 Jeffery for Buffalo and plains game combo, but if elephant are on the menu I carry the 458 Lott, with the Jeffery as a light rifle. I know the Jeffery would work fine on an elephant, but why own a 458 Lott if you ain’t gonna hunt elephant with it? Sorta my backwards logic to...
