Wild Things 2018 - the hunts are on!

[sticksnstones]

Today I have good news to share with everyone about the upcoming season at Wild Things. I would like to thank you all kindly for your patience as Andrew's family and I have worked through the details required ahead of making this announcement.

Wild Things will reopen for traditional bowhunting on January 8th 2018! The season will close up on May 27th, all open bunks are reflected on the website if you are interested in getting booked for a hunt. Please note unless otherwise noted, all open bunks are for 5 days hunts.

Familiar things to all the return hunters will be the same lodge, the same property, and the same hogs. Charlie is continuing to run all the feeders, and will be around for tracking and dressing game. Mary Beth will continue to handle book keeping. I will be a point of contact for our community and will run the website and social media.

The only thing new in camp this year will be Andrew's old friend Don Price who has offered to come look after camp and cook for us hunters. I've heard a lot of Andrew's stories about these two hunting together over the years, and I have had the chance to share camp and hunt with him myself. I am confident that hunters will be well fed and entertained with him there!

Now that everything is set, I have a favor to ask: If you have spoken for a bunk and want to keep your hunt, please ensure you have sent your deposit check in and confirmed if it was for 3 or 5 days. Mary Beth and I work very closely on this, but we are missing a great deal of information, contact information, and correspondence that Andrew had directly with many of you. Please help us manage this endeavor by confirming your intentions and contact information!

As of writing there are only 23 total bunks open for the season, let's get those filled up with folks who want to share in this experience or say farewell to our old friend.

If anyone needs to bow out of their scheduled hunt PLEASE make sure we know so can communicate the availability to those who might not otherwise be able to make the trip.

As always, if anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Thank you,

This is great news!!! A hunt here is one that is on my bucket list.

This is wonderful news! The tribe really wished to return to the camp to remember our friend and to see our buddy Charlie.

We were fortunate to share camp with Don two years ago. You guys are in for the time of your lives! What a hoot! He's a PH from Africa and had us in stitches all week with his stories (when we could understand him).

Thom, thank you for taking this on.

I am so glad to hear this. I was only there for two years, but Andrew truly had an impact on me, and it won't be the same without him. It will, however, be good to see Charlie again, and Don is worth the price of admission himself.

Well everyone that has met Andrew has heard the stories and friendship of Don Price. A good friend of Andrews will surely be a good friend to all of us. The memories of Wild things with Andrew will be held close to all of our hearts. New memories with Don Price are something I look forward to.

Thanks to everyone that has kept such a great place open for us to enjoy.

I'm really glad to see what Andrew's children were able to do with this, especially consider all of the other logs on their fire. Should be a very memorable year for all of us hunters.

I did the better part of a thousand miles in the last two days for work, I'll start working through emails and PMs soon. Sorry for the delay!

Terry, my cell is 6165025658, if you have the old 3677 you can delete that one. Would love to catch up Sunday afternoon or evening if that might work for you.
