I always thought bacon was only good on burgers, sandwiches, and with breakfast. Boy was I wrong! Bacon has become a big part in all my cooking.

My mom and girlfriend want to make a trip to NY just to check out that state. Do you know the laws on shipping an airgun out there? I might have to see about getting my first g-hog when they go!

There are  a couple of cities in the state that prohibit having air rifles shipped, New York City of course being one of them,,, but the rest of the state has no problem with it.  You'd have to check the local laws for the exact city or town that you wanted to have it shipped to.....

Nice shooting with a CO2 Jeff!!  Way to stalk within 10yds!!  Dang.. that was awesome.  Great shot on the pigeons too.  I 'm looking forward to getting an adult g-hog with my 850 .22 on a nice warm day.  

Hey are you and I competing for the most g-hogs taken this year?  :-)  I 'm sure there will be no competition since you have large farms and woods to work with and I have less than 1 acre  :)  

Daniel:
Some of the very large male g-hogs that have been around for a while and can feed without being harrassed for longer periods of time, can weigh close to 20lbs.  Here is one of the bigger males I got early in the spring.. and he just came out of hybernation!  My arm got tired quickly carrying him just 30yds.  He usually hung out at the neighbors so he wasn't under any real thread for years.. until he made the mistake to cross over to my property to check out some of the "abandoned" burrows that other dead g-hogs left behind :)  He was at least 5lbs heavier than the female I got a couple of days ago - (2nd link).  She was skinnier and a couple of inches shorter.  I took her with a .177 36 (same as 34) but the 1st one was with a .22 and it took a while to recover him as I was using open sights and the shot wasn't perfect.

I need to get out to NY with my guns. I completely forgot to make a post about my new rifle. I picked up the Crosman Phantom Shooter's Kit from Bass Pro Shops. It was the same price as the regular Phantom, but it looked A LOT nicer and had some nice little goodies with it. I'm planning on going to visit my uncle soon since he's having rabbit problems in his garden. That's where I'll test out my new gun. I sure would love to use it on some g-hogs though!
