Wild Pig “Hunt” with Huben GK1 and Slugs
No thanks. Just curious as to the thought process. Thank you.

if you come after dark they will all be homeAnd they are back. Rebuilding in the exact same spot.
This is why I did not want to pay a professional. I knew I would be doing this again. This time I will leave the nest. After I practice tomorrow morning. I will gear up and soak the tiny nest down and leave it there. Maybe the rest will comeback and die from the spray.
Hi etothen. Thank you for following through with your questions and responses. Many, for lack of a better word, "newbies" ask questions and then just bail out of the thread after many AGN members have tried to help. As you know, shooting is physics. That's what I like about it -- trying to understand the physics of it all -- advanced rock-throwing. Details, determination, curiousity, patience, follow-through, etc. all come into play. I think you will do well and, hopefully, have fun too.As a physicist I find your O ring timeline quite satisfying, I was confused about the behavior but that seems an entirely plausible series of events, thanks for that. I can stop scratching my head now.
The 'washers' I was in fact referring to are the Belleville washers, conical washers made of spring steel. It is a neat way to make a tunable high pressure spring I may incorporate into my sciencing in the future. And in the video they describe the first two washers, those next to the piston head, as the 'black washers' and indicated that they are a different color which I did not notice when I looked at them.
As for the grease, thanks for the advice. I find earned experience such as this quite valuable. I may try it when the rings come in although the only oil I have currently is bar oil and two stroke mixing oil. The two stroke oil is right out but the bar oil has a number of the mechanical features you would want for reg use but I have no idea how it will interact with the O rings so I probably would not rely on that unless I plan on tearing the valve apart again this winter. It might be an interesting exercise though? You say mobile one? Seem like there must be some of that in my garage somewhere for the four stroke four wheeler, the garden tractor or the small lawn mower in there. I mean I must have a botte somewhere in there. I can't get around like I used to because of the chair but I will ask my wife to have a look.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Interesting. So what do you consider a hunt?@CCook Because the use feeders eliminates various elements of hunting. In my opinion shooting animals under and around feeders is not hunting if one is not old and is still able bodied. The content creator is climbing a ladder into a tree stand which demonstrates to me that he is able bodied. The fact that he fails to use a harness or other visible safety equipment says he isn’t too concerned about remaining able bodied.
My experience has shown me that it is very easy to get very close to wild pigs and hogs without bait.
I do keep the wind in my favor, try to anyway, and start with the volume pretty low at first and turn up the volume every 2 or 3 min for 12min or so.Yeah we have some of that too but not as much trees as you have in this pic. Up high we have a lot but spread out and down here the thickets are nasty AF to walk through but even my short (5’9”) self can see over it most of the time…. That landscape you’re showing me is interesting. I think the wind direction is gonna be especially important because your scent can sorta get trapped in the trees like that. Or so I hear? I’ve pretty much only had success sitting up on a hill/cliff overlooking open terrain and or around a bend in a wash. Learned that one from an old timer. I’m still not great at it but if you set up behind a bend in a wash or creek bed you can catch them coming around the corner.
Also how loud are you playing the calls? Sometimes less is more.
I’m no expert so I’m just trying to throw as many things as I can think of at you… I’ve had some luck calling them though so maybe at least I’ve got a little luck. I’m rooting for you though. I hate coyotes and I really wanna shoot some with an air rifle. I’m dying to see some scope cam of you dropping 140fpe worth of lead into them.
Oh yeah, another thing I’ve started to investigate is moon phase and barometric pressure. Trolling the coyote hunting message boards I’ve definitely seen some talk about it. Some recommend an app like Solunar, some say it’s nonsense and others just day “when there’s a lot of deer out I tend to catch more fish/see more coyote/see more critters… I’m testing an app like solunar to see if I get any results out of it.
all-stars high topsConverse were my jam. Course it didn't really matter, the bell bottoms on our jeans covered the whole foot.
Yea definitely a bummer, a huge inconvenience. I haven't reached out to rti directly, just the dealer. He said its possibly the valve i think. I need to call back again and see how it will be handled.That's a super bummer...way to much money to be having leaks so early on. How is their customer service?
How do you define, "common sense"?Common sense is probably your best safety equipment.
