Boeuf WMA Hog Hunt #2. ( updates )

[jbpharmd]

Well its official! Work approved my time off and more importantly the wife gave me the go ahead. I will drive up after work on Thursday and I'll have to leave Saturday.

I'll cook an etoufee or a sauce picante of some sort. Depends on whether I can find crawfish this time of year.
Kip, I take it you'll have a way to cook rice since you are making a gumbo?

[Kip]

Jacob  I will have a 2 burner stove but the camp we pitch tents next to has elect.so a rice cooker can also work (pass the hat for our use of elect at camp).If you need crawfish there is a crawfish plant a mile off of the interstate in Whitville /Ville Platte area.They sell maybe this year stock if catching but also have last year vacum packed stock if needed.See you soon I have lots of family in the medical field working /living in Laf. you may know some of them.Kip

[Kip]

I am only saying what happened last year.I don't want to come across as offering someone else's property without there permission.You can use my stove and propane if needed.Kip

Hiya Kip... I'm gonna follow this post, only because I really enjoy watching folks come hog hunt in La. I'd join ya'll but man I'm spread so dang thin till end of Feb.

Ain't nothing easy about public land hogs in late season, need your A game for sure!  Best of luck to all !  Props to crittergetter for putting it together.

A quick correction , I didn't not put this together. Daniel Binkley with HCBSTRINGS did. I just volunteered to help post this since he is no longer on here.

Good morning Mark yes Daniel Binkley put this hunt together last year when app. half of the reserve was under water often higher than knee boots and cold.That did not stop us from having a great time  so looking forward to better weather but never know.Take care Kip

So far the weather looks like it will cooperate a lot more this year. BUT..... with Darren (hackbow) coming you never know what the weather is going to do till you get there!!        

[Crittergetter]

Just a few weeks away!! Hope y'all are excited as I am!  Just a few minor details and I'll have all my ducks in a row!!!

[Hackbow]

Just finalized my schedule today. Should arrive approx 6:30-7:00p on Thur. Really excited to see everyone and chase swamp critters with pointy sticks.

[Jon Kaw]

I should arrive the evening of the 18th. Can't wait to see friends and meet folks.  

[akdd]

I will be there the 18th also. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting some future friends.

Any ideas on footwear? Are most people wearing knee-high rubber boots or regular hunting boots?

[Crittergetter]

I'd recommend bringing a good pair of rubber boots. Likely to have a lot of low areas holding water if we get any more rain between now and then. Last year there was water ever. Hopefully the weather will hold out and there won't be any flooding this year. That will open up a LOT more area to hunt. But the hogs may be harder to locate. It's a good trade off IMO

[buckster]

Sure hate to miss out this year.  Happy and safe hunting to all.

[Crittergetter]

It seams to me we're lacking a little in the enthusiasm department this year!!  From my talks with Daniel  I've deducted that there is a LOT more area to hunt this year!! That alone gets me excited! I love seeing new places, especially with a bow in my hand. It does help that I'm an optimist every time I step into the woods! Lol
I'll be bringing my 4Wheeler and a trailer so that I can help everyone that wishes to reach those far away places and save on a bunch of walking. And make dragging a hog several mile a lot easier!! This should open a lot more opportunities to hunt places we neve even saw last year.  I'll also have 2-3 lockons with me that we can place on trails and crossing  if anyone decides they want to sit a few mornings or evenings and try to get a deer.(which is legal with your license)
 
I will also be bringing breakfast burritos for everyone again.  (I think we ate 50 something burritos last year lol) Gotta keep you guys full of energy for all the miles you will be putting on!  And I'll bring the ever essential load of Fire wood!!
IT AINT CAMPING WITHOUT A CAMP FIRE!!!!!
If someone could bring a few targets that would be awesome. It's always a good time to shoot around camp between hunts and give each other a hard time or a congratulatory slap on the back!!

[Jon Kaw]

I'll bring my beat up hog target and my practice block.  I can cook pancakes and bacon/egg scramble one morning.

[Crittergetter]

Thank you Jon!!

[John146]

I have a small block target I will bring Randy.

[Crittergetter]

Thanks Todd!!
