Biggie and Ray - you both know what you are "Masters" of! A man that misses as much as me at least is good enough to get shots! I'll keep tryin.

Marty, Its the shooting lessons I gave Biggie that has helped him the most. His ability to injun up on stuff like a crafty Lion is another matter.RC

Ray Hammond · January 14, 2011, 09:44:00 AM

I think Biggie and I both qualify as Masters of Disaster, Marty...

I did understand from the Bigster that you taught him many, many things about .... BAITING.

So again, I'm just sayin'.

So Annnywayyyyyy Ray! Your next batch of NY Yankees are stone cold killers for sure so you better fence in the hogs you wanna keep for breeding stock.You southern folk sure dont mind hurtin each others pride now do you? Masters, Missers and Baiters! Your all downright crazy.

Ray Hammond · January 14, 2011, 11:23:00 AM

Marty can take it....he sure dishes it out plenty...he just keeps it low key on here..you should spend a few days in camp with him...he's a real pxxxer in person!

I've hired someone to cook the big meals so I can get out in the woods in future.... maybe I can kill a few hogs and qualify for Marty's list now?

Biggie Hoffman · January 14, 2011, 11:23:00 AM

Marty baited me up years ago with his pot roast. We've been buds ever since...

Izzy, it's not as bad as it sounds 8-)

One week from today, and I'll be there! Weather is looking great, the upper 50's is shorts and flip flop weather. Hope to be bringing home some boar.

Izzy · January 14, 2011, 11:59:00 AM

ron w · January 14, 2011, 05:38:00 PM

Cyclic-Rivers · January 14, 2011, 05:44:00 PM

Izzy I'm planning on going on April 9-11. I'll be sure to leave a few around for ya.

Terry Green · January 25, 2011, 08:30:00 PM

I'd like to state, that I've been to Ray's and 'next door' 5 times....and this is some of the best hog hunting you will find in SC.

If you happen to get an email from a Tony Green(he doesn't have PM anymore) that you shouldn't go....just for the record, this guy has a record of complaining. I have a personal experience with it from Solana Ranch...where no one complains. This guy shot more arrows than anyone the year he was at Solana and he complained about shot opportunities. Shot a buck he couldn't find, managed to kill two doe, don't know how many he shot at, and brought in the biggest hog I've ever seen taken at the ranch while I was there....and this guy had the nerve to come to me griping that he wasn't seeing enough game.

Sorry, but I'm just pissed, just found out Tony has been using Trad Gang's PM system to discourage folks from going to Ray's Hog Heaven saying there are no hogs there and I wont stand for it.....here's a few pics from my trips by myself and when I took Rob DiStefano(who I guided). All these hogs were taken from the same property block from the same property owner of Ray's Hog Heaven.....

5 trips....6 hogs....so don't let anyone tell you there aren't hogs there.

Izzy · January 25, 2011, 08:34:00 PM

No pigs at Rays?????

Dang wish Mr.Green woulda told me before I killed this ugly armadillo. Seriously though, my Cuz and I lost track of how many pigs we saw.He missed a few shots and I came close to getting a few more and if I would have left them dang artifacts alone I know I would have killed at least one more pig but I was having too much fun. Im going back in May to see if I can find me one for sure.In fact as long as Old Ray will have me I plan to return annually and hope my 2 sons get their first big game hunts under their belts at Hog Heaven.Its as good a hunting camp as any in the hunting world and better than a whole lot of em.Rays a pretty good feller his own self!

Cyclic-Rivers · January 25, 2011, 08:40:00 PM

No worries,

I've heard far more good things from people I trust and respect, that I wouldn't pass it up.

Thanks for the heads up Terry! Nice hogs.

Besides, I know theres pigs at Rays! Izzy shot one last year and Ron W. had one t 10 yards, the place must be crawling with them

Terry Green · January 25, 2011, 08:41:00 PM

Izzy....with this type of stuff.... the blatant off topic BS....and the silly antics of some......

I'm getting a low tolerance level.

Icandraw · January 25, 2011, 08:47:00 PM

There's hogs at Ray's Hog Heaven!! I've seen them!

And if you don't have a good time while your there, your just a stick in the mud!

Izzy · January 25, 2011, 08:48:00 PM

Terry, TG is getting bigger by the day and its bound to run into undesirables. We,ll be alright, its just too bad you gotta take the time to weed these low lives out. "[dntthnk]"

GMMAT · January 25, 2011, 08:53:00 PM

Now wait a dang minute.....

Snakes? Gators? Oh my.....

Serious Q....what kind of footwear is recommended for MAY....lol? Gaiters?

Elevated stands???....lol

Looking forward to spending a few days with Joe, his boys (fine young men....who rolled nowhere from the tree)....and Mr. Dill.

I cant imagine anyone who has hunted at Rays not being happy with shot opportunities. I'm embarrassed with how many I had and goofed one way or the other. We had a blast and will be going back. Ray is the kind that feels a responsibiity to his clients and by the time they leave they are friends.

L51 · January 25, 2011, 08:59:00 PM

I just spent a great weekend at Hog Heaven. Ray is a fantastic host and I saw hogs every single time I went out. I WILL be back!
