Ain't no pigs there, skeeters are as big as a puppy, food is lousy, beds all got bugs. That guy Ray will put you in the worst possible place 'cause he thinks them hogs are his.....oh,yeah, I tell a fib or two, time and again....
Ray's place is a good deal. He does his best to put on a good hunt, good guy to work with. I'll be there AGAIN in March.

Went in January, it's the real deal. Had a great time, ate good and although I did not get a pig, I had a close encounter of the pork kind. I'll be going back in the future.

Dang Terry, I just read that story and it made me sick with pig hunting withdrawal. I need to get back there reeeeeeal bad. That "Lets Just Go For Walk." had me laughing. Thats classic Hog Master Ray talk.

I went in 2009 and the hog sightings were scarce for us. The problem was that every food source was on the ground at that time. There are plenty of pigs on the property but the problem was they could fill there bellys in 15 minutes in the thick cover and then lay the day away. I just experienced the same thing on my annual Florida hunt. I really liked the property and would definitely go back and recommend it for a fun time. The property is conducive to spot and stalk and i had an opportunity on some pigs that I blew by moving to fast. Ray is a great guy and take his advice since he really knows the property and pig hunting.

Been there three times and had my chances every time.  Lots of pigs there and Ray is great host and fun to hang out with.  And don't expect to loose weight there because Ray can flat out cook!

I made the 12 hr drive down all by myself....let me know when you are looking to go...maybe we can ride down together. Great time to be had for sure. Met and hunted with some real good guys. This property is gorgeous....can't wait to go back. Shoot I'd go back just for the campfire time and the food!

Our gang will be there in two weeks. It will be our third trip.

This one of the best places I ever have hunted  

The habitat is exellent, its lots and lots of hogs, deer, birds etc.

The food is real good, and you might as me meet up with some other tradgangers as well and really have a good time.

If it is one thing I would have changed when I was there was to stop the time so my stay would have been longer.

Ray is Mr. hospitality himself, go there, you will not regret it!

here is a link of my time in Hogheaven in oct. 2010

You'll learn a lot.
You'll eat well.
You'll hunt hard.
You'll laugh your arse off around the nightly campfire!
