Hey Biggie I slept on the couch. It was a bit shaky. Ray said you would know why!
Pat catching his shirt on fire was certainly one of the funniest events ever. I was just stretched out on the couch talking with Pat but not really looking at him. Pat just kinda steps away from the stove and casually says, "Hey Tim, am I on fire?" I glanced at him, expecting him NOT to be on fire, and there he was with flames licking all the way up his back. I said, "YEAH!" and jumped up and ran over and beat it out. Pat started to do a bit of a dance, like he was chasing a bee, but we got the flames out. Cotton embers were falling all over so I felt it necessary to put them out by stomping them into Rays new high dollar rug. Lucky for Pat he wasn't wearing any synthetic material or that would have been really bad. He didn't suffer any damage and we started laughing about it. Ray heard all the commotion and came inside to see what was going on. He just shook his head, agreed with Mike that we needed adult supervision, and walked back outside.
As for the pig hunting we hunted our butts off for two days straight non stop daylight to dark. We had pigs running all around us on Friday and enough on Saturday to keep it interesting. I can only tell you to NOT approach pig hunting with a whitetail attitude. I shot a nice boar Friday right against the elbow with a nice wide Tusker Delta. That sucker went 10 yards and laid down with his head flat on the ground facing me. I should have just shot him again right then but I figured he was done so I didn't rush. I just took a couple steps to the side and was going to put another arrow in him. When I did, one of the sows spooked and he got up and took off with them. That was the last I saw of him. Pigs are incredibly tough critters.
There's more stories to tell from this trip but you'll just have to come hunt with us some time to hear them. It was great to meet the guys from Illinois and I believe Dave Sisamis owes me a double anchovy and hog sausage pizza! As always, Ray was gracious host on the property was fantastic. Mike Mitchum was there but couldn't hunt. He said something about a public restroom and pointed to a cast on his arm. I thought it best not to ask... :D
