USA: Rockin G Ranch Turkey Texas Varmint Hunt

Hey boys.....what a good thing to see that you know how to make good hunts and have fun with good people......

Cody.....great write up of the hunt you did there and good trophies.....!!!!

Erik......congrats about the hunting operation you are running there and the way you do.....!!!!!

Chuck......don´t worry about the missed shoots, and doesn´t matter how many times......that is nothing......I am pretty sure that the BBQ Brisket that night paid off in advance to cover any miss......!!!!!

Great hunt and very well done boys......!!!!!

PD: I don´t care about mosquitoes, I spent some years hunting in the Paraná Delta, where the first mosquito in the world come to the life, the nest of the all mosquitos in the world......:ROFLMAO:
Rocket, thank you sir. If you ever get up this way give me a holler
 
I'll be heading down that way in January to hunt a Corsican ram and some hogs. It'll be my first time hunting in the U.S. and first time to Texas...can't wait!

We are going to have fun buddy!
 
Let me know if you need a rabbit guide Gizmo! Lol
 
Ragman, you are going to have an awesome time! Having had the Rockin’ G Ranch experience for 3 different types of hunts, I can highly recommend the comfortable lodge, fine food, excellent animals and wonderful hospitality!

I had a great time. The hunt actually happened 3 years ago and Erik was a great host! I read all your reports and got homesick for the Rockin G every time!

Cheers,
Cody

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
