Hog Heaven - January 21,22,23 - Who's in?

[Bel007]

Ray just posted that he has the whole weekend open due to a cancelation.  Their loss, our gain.

I have been chomping at the bit to get back down to Hog Heaven since my trip there this past July.  We just need to round out the party with 5 more hog hunters !

Check out Ray's post in the sponsor section.

If you have been to Hog Heaven before, you already know Ray is a great host and has some great property for chasing hogs.  If you have not been there before, this is a great opportunity.

So... who's in?

Jan is great month to hunt Hog Heaven!  Very, very few skeeters to bother you.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Good luck, I promise to leave a hog around for you guys  :rolleyes:

[J. Holden]

Jeremy

Approx 1800 mile round trip (for you) so maybe $190 gas.  At least two hotel nights... maybe $175 there.  Food... you know yourself there better than me...the only food you'll need is road food... say $40.  Ray will feed you better than your Mama once you get there.  SC license $40.  Then the cost of the hunt $575.  Total $1000 +/- a hundred.

OR...

swing straight south the night before stay here and in the morning we ride together, split a hotel x1 Thrs night, split gas, drive straight back here Sun night, you can light out Mon morning.  That should easily nock off a couple hundred.  Maybe $700-750.

Maybe I missed it on the connecting link, but the only costs I saw were the $40 hog tag and the cost to get there. He can't be doing this for nothing, afterall he does have expenses.

Friends of mine have a place in Charlston and been on me to visit. I'd love to make this happen, and will check.

January is a good time to go. You won't see any snakes before 9am or so....too cold. Skeeters don't start up till 2 pm or so.
I mmmmmmiss Ray's pepperjack grilled cheese sandwiches. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

[Bel007]

Up for the weekend.

[Ray Hammond]

Biggie,

In January I'm going to be making some 2 inch thick pork chops stuffed with herb-laced ricotta and goat cheese for dinners on Saturday.... as well as home made soups and pepperjack cheese sanwiches using home baked breads for lunch

[Jesse Minish]

Dang Ray you just made me hungry!

[Bel007]

Folks,  I aint kiddin' ya.  Ray can cook!  If you loose weight at Rays, you must have a tapeworm.

[L51]

If you can tolerate someone who has only been shooting a longbow for two years I'll go! Never hunted hogs, sounds like a good time.

I'd be coming from Central Ohio.

I emailed Ray on the 10 and tried to call him today, to try and reserve a spot haven't heard back yet.
