I didn't see it either. Great story Terry. It made my day. Glad you had such a great hunt. I sure wish I could shoot a bow like you do. I've always said I'm alot better builder than I am an operator.Cya.

Terry, My friend, what else can I call a guy that called me in my hospital room on Christmas day, Great job!    :thumbsup:   Outstanding shooting    :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:  
Ray, You sir are too modest.You were a very generous fellow.
Might I make a suggestion? As a big beefy man I rely too often on the muscle God gave me when I should use the brain he provided more. I suspect it is a failing of the physically strong. "This simple, Me lift, Me throw, Pig Loaded.Ugh!"
well why not put a come along in the bed of your pick-up? mount it in the front of the bed with 2 hooks in the two front post placements. Lay a piece of 1 inch plywood down on the bed. slide it back and use it as a ramp and release the come along's cable wrap it around the beast and crank your way to a loaded animal. No strain, no pain. Hey you all can use that idea. I told Mr. Wensel  about it when he told me about the trouble they had loading Woody. He thought it a good idea. Well I wont argue with him. It isn't the kind of idea I can make money at but I can share it so why not? God Bless, Good Hunting and Thanks for the great story Terry.

pucci ....I'm way late....but it was a 60# MOAB.  All hogs were shot with 4 blade Zwickey Deltas cept the last one I put in 'hop along'....the last one in her was a Simmons Interceptor 4 blade.

Yeah Bayou.....great memories to say the least.

That was a great hunt and story! I am finding myself looking beyond deer season and to a hog hunt and flintknapping weekend with Ray Hammond and Woody Blackwell in January 2012! Made the mistake of looking at Mr. Blackwells web page of knapped rock art.... Unbelievable!

Can't wait!

Didn't win, just a paying customer watching all the fun folks have had at Hog Heaven over the seasons. When Ray's schedule was posted and he indicated the flint knapping 'ice cream' I thought 'what am I waiting for?'.  Sometimes the best is right in your back yard and you don't realize it until it hits you in the head!

Boy this is a blast from the past! Can't believe that was five years ago.

I can still feel that rain and hail on my skin- I don't think I've ever seen it rain or hail harder than that anywhere!

What a weekend
