1st Annual Boeuf Hog Hunt

[awbowman]

Jimmy Dean, now that's funny!

Lol.  Daniel, I definitely have a soft spot for dogs, and animals in general.  I can sometimes be gruff, but I can't help but baby-talk with dogs and other pets.  Guess that is probably what you meant.  Heck, I couldn't stop worrying that Jimmy Dean was cold when I heard him grunting, so I laid on the floor with him snuggled in under my jacket while it got cold at night.  At least he had already had a bath.

Yep, were probably the most unconventional hog hunters ever! Lol.

We go hog hunting and Coke back with piglets that we treat like pets! Lol.

Lots of great stories and pictures already posted.  Todd, great job on the pictures and posts.  I like that selfie!  First, thanks to Daniel for putting on this hunt.  It was great getting to know you and I'm already thinking about the possibility of another trip down south.  Today was back to reality and back to work.  Everyone asked me "how was the hunt", "did you catch one?"  That always cracks me up, "catch one".  I gave each person a short recap and as I did I realized that I spent most of the time talking about the great people I had just met.  I hope to share a campfire with you all again.     .  Thank you again Kip.

Here's hoping next time the weather co-operates and it's warmer in Louisiana than Ontario!

I PM some of the guys,but for those i missed just wanted to say I really enjoyed the company of being with the trad gang guys. I hate you guys didnt get a hog, but like Daniel I know the pigs are there.The high water really hurt. Be glad your not here now the water has risen even more and much more ground is now under water.. Thanks to Daniel for inviting me to enjoy your campfire and thanks to Fred and Kip for that wonderful gumbo friday night..Hope to do it again and this time cades not going to steal my boots....lol.

[pdk25]

LOL.  The pleasure was all ours, Terry, I am sure.

[DanielB89]

Terry,

Not only did Kade steal yours, he also stole mine and left yours at the camp! Lol!! I tried to stick my foot in that size 9 and it was not happening!!! Lol.

Ok, I've been trying to load pics for the last 2 days without any luck. So I just gave up!
Tod you did a great job with your tale of the hunt! 2 things I want to echo.
1. The amount of enthusiasm that Daniel has is infectious! I think it was Darren that said "that guy just loves life"!
It is hard to be around Daniel and not feel his passion for everything he does! His story telling will keep you rolling with laughter. He is the type of person I love being around! A good solid man full of life!
2. Tod said it best, how Marty has no preconcieved notions about how a hunt is going to go! I've heard him say on many occasions " I'm just out for a walk"! And man, the guy can walk! I have enjoyed many conversations in the woods with Marty and am honored to call him friend!
As far as the rest of the group it would take all night trying to convey how awesome they are and what a great time we had.
I am blessed to be able to spend time with current friends and to be able to make more thru a common passion!
I enjoyed meeting each and every one of them and enjoyed each conversation! I look forward to many more hunts with each of you in the future!
Pat, the chili was amazing! You didn't see the 2 heaping bowls I ate because you was busy "pampering " jimmy Dean! lol
One thing I was dissapointed in was the fact that I missed out on the Oreos and milk!!!  Dang it!!

[Crittergetter]

I'll add pics if I can ever get them to load!

Terry, many thanks to you sir for shuttling hunters from drop off points to pick up points. What you did made the hunt more enjoyable for everyone. It was a pleasure meeting you. Next time you gotta have your bow and -  we hunt!!!

[donnyjack]

Glad you guys had such a good time here in the Sportsmen's Paradise and Kip is the man when it comes to hospitality.

Looks and sounds like y'all had a great time! Sorry I missed it. Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it. Well done Daniel.

[Terry Johnston]

No problem Todd, I enjoyed being around all the guys who have this same disease i recently caught. My wife thinks I have gone nuts with all the shooting..lol. I plan to hunt next time as long as kade does not take my boots again,next time it will prolly be my widow, lol.

Terry it was a pleasure meeting you.Being one of the older members( an old goat)(shower was great) of the weekend I cannot thank you enough for you letting use the camp and grounds if ever near Ville Platte please look me up .Thanks again the weekend was great also all the guest were  just the best and Daniel is a great host and ate up with bowhunting just like I was in the 70'S old age sometimes tempers the the action but I  never forget the rush when a broadhead goes through the ribs.Thanks Kip

[John146]

Pat Kelly, Thanks for the tips on sharpening the broad heads. I have incorporated your techniques with great results! I have some stones out of Lansky Knife Sharpening kit. I am just free handing them on my broad heads but after you got that edge started on my Cutthroats they are now popping hair! Thanks again!

[pdk25]

Lol.  You are welcome.  Always nice to have a sharp broadhead.  Go stick a pig with one.

That's the plan!!

[awbowman]

Todd, how do you like the cutthroats?

[Crittergetter]

I finally got pics to load and got time to post some. Here's a few of my favorite.

Fred, I love them. They fly great and (now that I know better how to sharpen them) I believe I will not be disappointed in their performance. I had them decently sharp but after Pat was through with them I realized that my definition of sharp was not up to par.

 Yet to shoot an animal with them but you can just tell they are well made.
