Thanks Archery Outfitters!!!!!

[Hit-or-Miss]

I just got in last night, from a VERY long drive from Florida back to my home in Maine. I had a great weekend with Archery Outfitters / Nickie Roth, hunting wild hogs in southern Florida. I met some great folks, and had a nice hunt. The old 50# 1968 Bear Kodiak Hunter and Magnus 2 blade worked just fine. My wife is cooking up the tenderloins tonight for supper and I can't wait!
  Anyone considering the trip south to hunt hogs and deer should contact Nicky Roth and book now, while you still can. He is an old school recurve shooter from back in the day, knows his stuff (no BS), and has a great crew working for him. I can't wait until my boy is a bit older so I can take him down to hunt this prime 1,246 acre archery only, farm land. The experience and fun of hunting real wild hogs made the long drive and the cost of gas seem trivial.
  One of the high points of my hunt was seeing a father / son team score. The 16 year old boy had never shot ANY critter before, and drilled a nice boar right through the heart. That young man had a smile that reached all the way from the gulf coast to the Atlantic! I think he is almost ready to give up his training wheels and get a real bow...LOL!
   Thanks Nickie and crew!!!! You guys are the REAL deal, a world class team. I'm looking through my gear so I can find the guide's cards / contact info in order to send them a "Thank You" card.

Wow! I just finished supper.... that meat is TENDER and juicy when broiled and seasoned with a Texas Barb-Q rub! I even cleaned up the pan drippings with bread! Well worth the cost, long drive and effort. Hogs sure are fun to shoot and make a great meal.

His camp is 18 hours from my house in MD if it was 8 hours or so closer Id go every month!!!!! I hope to go in Feb this coming winter....what stand did you hunt?

[Hit-or-Miss]

The "Bridge". From what I could see, ALL the stands and areas were just FULL of hogs. Prime hunting, every square inch. No matter where you are on property, if the wind is in your favor, you WILL see game.

Congrats on your hog!  I hunted with Archery Outfitters about six years ago and my experience was not nearly as positive.  I was hunting by myself and spending the nights at my folks house in Englewood.  All the other hunters were taken around the property on the swamp buggies to pick out their stands.  I was put in the last stand available about 150 yards from camp.  I was the only traditional shooter and the stand was not set up for shooting a longbow.  I had to do alot of clearing to make it work.  I saw one pig about 50 lb. but it was in and out so fast I couldn't get a shot.  Just felt like I was low on the list because I was by myself.  Seemed pricey for a two day hunt compared to other outfitters as well.  Glad your experience was better than mine.
