Hey all... I will be hunting with a Morrison ILF 58"  50@28" lbs, with either Hoyt or DAS limbs.  Will probably bring my Nomad as a back-up.  Shooting MFX 500's, around 530 grains with a sharp 2-blade at the killing end.  

Hog hunting is TONS of great fun and it can be quite a challenge trying to keep from being winded!

I am from a family of 7 kids and will eat most anything except coffee grinds or bannana peals.

Pac and I are planning to drive over from Central AR on Thursday evening and leave Monday morning.  I am READY TO ROLL and looking forward to making some more trad friends!

Jim,

I'm also an old Jarhead, but we like to keep the old wake-ups in our subconscious whenever possible.  

I still have flashbacks of the Summer of 81 and the crashing trash cans @ Parris Island.   :eek:

I am bringing my Mathews Switchback XT Compound Bow 70 lbs 30 Inch Draw with drop away rest and 8 pin Fiber Optic sight LOL!  NO!  Just Kidding!  Don't own a wheeler anymore,  not that I am against them. Too each his own and I respect all ethical hunters.
I will use my Bob Lee 60" TD Longbow or my Thunder Mountain Coyote Longbow with G/T tipped with razorheads or 2 blade magnus.
I won't need a cot, I will be so excited I will not be able to sleep LOL!!
Thanks Steve

WOW!!!! Not sure what to say except  THANK YOU STEVE!!! Think I might fly down and rent a car once I'm there but my plans aren't etched in stone. I'm like the other guy in wondering how I'd get the meat home if I fly. That could be a problem, not sure.

How about dry ice and UPS? Hey Steve, what are the latrine plans?

Also, here's a question I've wondered about. Why are Aussie and New Zealand hogs so much more aggressive?

A better look at the kill zone on hogs. If the site is up.

Meat on the airline is not a problem.  Bone it out, ice it down in a cooler.  No dry ice on an airplane.

Pay for an additional bag on the way home.

Does altitude affect it or is it just that it is a chemical?

Actually you can make a pretty good bomb with dry ice.  I think that's the reason.  Do a Google search on dry ice bomb and you'll be surprised.

LOL

It's on the list of things you can't have in your luggage.

Chester, I will be flying in for the May weekend and would definately appreciate a ride from the airport.  I am going to book the flight this week, it looks like I will be getting in about 7:30 in the morning, so I can hang out there until you come by.  This is so exciting, why does it have to be so far away!?

Dry ice bombs are crazy powerful!  I used to work at a grocery store when I was a kid and we'd scoop dry ice into a 2 liter bottle, then add water over the top of it, screw the cap back on and pitch it out in the loading dock.  When it went off, it was indeed spectacular!

I've seen guys pack their coolers with ice to the brim just before getting to the airport, then ductaping the lid down as tight as they can get it, and the meat survive a pretty long flight.

I'd help if the meat was frozen solid maybe overnite beforehand, I'm sure, though.

Really ice is fine on an airplane.  Heck I've brought unfrozen meat back from Idaho with and Ice bath driving for two days and it's fine.

Just get it boned out and cooled ASAP and put it in an ice bath.  Drain off excess water and add a little ice before you check it in.  Keep it under 50# if you can to avoid overweight charges.

I live in Ovilla about one hour from Weatherford. Would love to help you with your problem. My bud, Ric O"Shay (Danny) would certainly tag along. He is real good at hauling dead things out of the brush.  :bigsmyl:

Does anybody else think that we need to make a post for each weekend? That way things like people needing to get pick up from DFW are covered in the right area? Or other things that people will need just for that weekend they are coming?

If anybody does not/can not take all of their meat back with them I would be willing to take it and donate to Hunters Harvest (http://www.huntersharvest.org/).

I agree that we should get a weekend post going so that we can contact the people we are hunting with, I keep looking back to page 7 to see who is on the May trip!  BTW, what do you put your arrows in to get them on the plane?
