I am heading to Ray's May 5, 6 and 7. Hopefully there are some Tradgangers heading down before me. Let me know how you made out and maybe post a few pics.

Thanks

My favorite piece of advice from Ray when I was hunting the swamp...

"remember, not every log is a log,... some are gators."

I never forgot that one.

Ray just got done telling us about how "hogs eat most of them" and then this big sucker sticks its head out of the stacked firewood!

This Yankee tucks his pants in his boots while hunting at Ray's!
