Love the pictures Margly.Got to go to Ray's last July.It's no country club hunt. You better bring your big boy pants if your goin to play with the hogs in the swamp. Ray does his best to put everyone on hogs.But you better be ready to hunt hard.And the food oh the food.I hate cooked carrots.But Rays cooked carrots are soooo! GOOD!!!.I'm hopeing to get back down there next year.Glad you enjoyed yourself.,Jim Preece

Hogheaven looks very similar to the places I used to hunt in central Florida. The pictures in this thread have brought back many very good memories for me. I thoroughly enjoyed hunting those places and I enjoyed reading about your adventures at Hogheaven just as much. Thank you for that! I think I may look into Hogheaven myself!

Siloutemirage, why are you surprised to hear hogs eat snakes???

Hogs'll eat just about EVERYTHING except squirrel Bait- cause he's too nasty for even a buzzard

Seriously- hawks eagles owls herons turkeys yes I found a small snake in a turkey crop once- gators fish storks just about everything will eat a snake!! Even people eat em!!!!

Takk for kjempe flotte bilder og god historie. Når ein velger å jakte med trad utstyr kan ein ikkje forvente å skyte dyr kvar gong ein jaktar, men steike ta kor spennende jakta blir  :campfire:

I reread all your tips Ray.  I guess the fact that I got my first Maryland sika last week means I'll close the deal next time.  Been workin hard on creepin close to critters lately.

P.S. I miss the place already.  Oh yea, you too.
