A hunter was born at Hog Heaven. Ray was as proud as I was when Wyatt got his pig.

Living in Illinois...I don't get to hunt hogs very often.  But I can say..that I have been on 3 hog hunts...and saw more hogs at Rays than anywhere.  I did not connect...but it was a only a 3 day hunt.  And we were HUNTING.  I cannot imagine a guy going there and not being happy with every part about the hunt.  I can't wait to get back.

Anyone who puts down Ray's operation is certainly no friend of mine. He's just gotta stop underselling himself when he describes the accomadations.   :D  
 "No Taj Mahal"? Warm beds, a shower with hot & cold running water, a toilet that flushes, all the delicous food you can eat, and a host who embodies Southern hospitality. I may not have spent as much time outdoors as some, but that right there was 2-1/2 days of high living...can't wait to return...

How does the pricing work. I looked on his web site and it dosent have how many days the hunts are. Do you have to call Ray and see what dates he has open? Any info would be helpful. I have a group of friends that have been talking about hunting hogs for awhile, and SC is close to us. Sorry for all the questions, but I figured one of you guys could help me out, without me having to bother Ray.
Thanks in advance!

I've been to Ray's twice. First hunt I saw two glimpses of hogs in the last hour of the last day. Second hunt I saw zip.

Guess what? I'll be there 30 days from now!!!!

My lack of sightings was just pure bad luck. Everyone else got on hogs, we had a blast, ate like kings, laughed until our sides hurt, we saw some really neat things, and made a great new friend in Ray. Best time of my life!
