Trailers are fine until you lose traction and they start dragging you down hill. Can be death traps on wet hill country so be careful.

Exactly. Be careful about what you wish for. The same with bio-control. Species jump is a risk, as is it getting into Ausies 'possums. They would not be happy.

Nice. Reloaders Supplies have those 62 grn Hornady in bulk. $30/100 I think. They will do the business for you. I would be very happy at that.

80 grain Targex. 20 to 250 yards. All chest - shoulder shot. 5 shots for 4. One high shoulder shot needed a fixer but it wasn't going anywhere. Breaking them down today so it will be interesting...
