"Don't go down to Texas. Texas is lost." [View all]

Someone we spent time over the weekend, who has New England roots gave us this warning. He said that he was invited to go on a boor hunt and that weapons would be supplied. He was expecting the usual bore rifles and instead there was a huge case of AK47s for everyone to pick through. He couldn't believe the damage those guns did to the hogs and assumed they weren't hunting for food, but to eradicate them.

Once it was all clear to him, he requested that no pictures be taken. He just wanted out.
