First hunt with Ray Hammond
« on: October 07, 2008, 08:00:00 PM »
That's right. I hope it's the first of many more.
 
   I will have to get back with you, but for now, I'll let you see an interesting picture of Wyatt puttin a sneak on some piggies. I got a real kick out of it. I cant believe I had the presence of mind to take a picture during it all.

 

I have some more, but I'm playing catch up and will post more later. Lin

I'm sorry it took so long. I just got in,

   Ray invited myself and Wyatt down for the weekend to give us a chance to try for a hog. This was Wyatt's first time to use his new bow. He's been practicing most of the Summer and he and I still need more. Wyatt just turned 14 and his draw is about 25 inches. His bow is a Soaring Eagle 43 @ 28. It shoots great.

   The weekend was great. I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed it. I know we've made friends in Ray and his right hand man, Mike (Squirrel Bait) Mitchum. Mike really took to Wyatt and helped him a lot with his stalking skills. I owe them my thanks.

  Here are a few more pics of the stay.

This place is still in a wild and uncut condition. We actually heard a tree fall on it's own the first day.
   

Wyatt eyeballing a hog rub and wallow.
   

The sun is coming up nicely.
   

Wyatt's first trad kill and an effort to reduce the Armadillo population. You'd of thought he'd taken a trophy buck!
   

  I'm not trying to string this out guys. I'll post some more tomorrow. I have to get some sleep. Lin
