Ken,

You have to promise to kill something though- you'll get so mezmerized by the place you'll be smokin' that pipe and laying around looking at all the beauty and before you know it, nothing gets shot.

Guys-
Take it from me; Ray Hammond is one class act to deal with.  There was a problem getting my deposit to him, and I bugged him daily about it.
Ray is one patient guy.
Now we just have to get one as big as Izzy's.

If Ronny sees as many pigs as he sees deer well,,,,, I guess he better stop at the smokehouse on the way home ifn hes planning on bringin some bacon home.We all have an Achiles Heel and I think his is that he just gets sleepy and snoozes away his hunting time under a tree kinda sorta like Rip Van Winkle.Last I saw him he even had a Rip Van Winkle beard starter kit going on.  :biglaugh:    :laughing:

That's why I'm going to Ray's. If you got a pig down there there must be a million of them.

Ray,
    there is one thing i like more then the mountains, new places, great friends and everything else, that is EATING!!!!!! pig's = bacon, bacon = one happy mountain man, i'll put some wood in the arrow and spill some blood, top priority!!! then i will relax and take it all in.

Good luck, Guys.  You are sure to have a great time.  For those of you seeing the swamps for the first time, it should be awesome.
