Man that gator looks huge!   We kept looking for him in a spot where Marty said he was, but he never showed himself.....Very cool!

Wonderful stories.

I'm thinkin' if Marty wasn't spending all that time on the phone, he'd have to be somewhere other than Paradise running stuff instead of putting guys on pigs...sometimes those phones are a GOOD thing   :thumbsup:  

I like it how you guys got that famous producer guy with the colorful name in the buggy shot.

All kidding aside .... Marty is the Man

I had a wonderful time with the group on the Okeechobee St Judes hog hunt and I will cherish the memories forever.

Thanks Marty ..... I really appreciate what you did for me and the kids at St Judes

Marty really does get tore up when guys aren't getting the shot opp's that "he thinks" they should be!

 He was sending texts all weekend worrying if everyone was having a good time...he should know better than to worry...because just being in camp is a great time....and Ken had killed a hog on the first night...but he still worried...that's just the kind of guy Marty is!

We all like to bug Marty about the "phone thing", all in good fun, and he knows that. But in reality Marty is an extremely busy guy with his business and family. He does very well handling all he has on his plate   :notworthy:  

We luv ya brother    :campfire:  

BTW...I need your address...

It's all in good fun Guru!! I do want people to see game! I love to have fun- BUT I do want my guests to see game and have opportunities! It puts alot of pressure on me! Especially someone like Ken who gave such an astonishing amonut to St. Judes Hospital to come hunt hogs with me. That's what this was all about. Kudo's to Ken for his generosity to the kids.
