[AGL] Can you name this car?

[Wayne Johnson]

Help to understand where exactly Leakey is.  Sounds like North 
Texas/Panhandle.  Can you orient me via closest town...Amarillo?  Clovis?

Feral hogs are a menace to everything.  While I don't like useless killing 
of animals for "sport", I think that sentiment shouldn't interfere with well 
thought-out, reasoned, environmental management.  Mesquite trees are a 
scourge, for instance, and act as water pumps dispersing same into the air. 
Need more "mesquite" brickets for cooking.  It isn't really a "native" 
anyway, having been introduced from Norther Mexico in the 19th Century. 
Spread like weeds via cattle drives.  There are hundreds of square miles of 
this useless tree all through the Llano Estecado (sp?).

Don't know about the sheep, but they sound "alien" and should be corraled or 
greatly reduced in number.  Once upon a distant time, I understand, antelope 
grazed the NW Texas plains but they have to have grass (and maybe a specific 
type) to live....get rid of "aliens" (mesquite, cedar, sheep, hogs, etc.) 
and they might be reintroduced and prosper.

.22 is wayyyy to light for anything bigger than a rabbit.  .44 Ruger 
Blackhawk with longest possible barrel and good glass should do the trick. 
Also, using a "forked stick" to steady the aim, like the old buffalo hunters 
once used.  No shame in that as the object is not fancy shooting but humane 
killing.  It would be nice if the "harvest" of both hogs and sheep could be 
turned over to some food processor for making something edible for people 
who need, really need, protein in their diet.  Don't know if the animals in 
question are "fit" to eat or not. Need professional advice on that.  Hate to 
see animals die without maximizing benefits.

Love those clear night skys.  Maybe you should get yourself a little 
telescope and join the ranks of backyard astronomers.  It is a great deal of 
fun....and so very relaxing.  Who knows, might seem some UFOs up thar.
