Good luck to all of you heading out for this hunt.  Take lots of photos for those of us unable to attend.  :thumbsup:

Chris I am leaving around 5 am Friday and will get there Friday evening. It is a 15 hour ride. I will camp Friday night and Saturday night and head out Sunday.

I hope to see you there.

This should be a great time rain or shine.

You guys are killing me.  I had hoped to make this hunt to put names and faces together but it was not to be this time.   :(  Hunt safe.

I actually just got axed from this hunt too because my coworker had an injury today so I got "volunteered" to fill in.

I wish I would have left for the hunt today now.

I hope to meet up with you fellas sometime in the future.

I have a safety meeting in the morning and will be leaving right after that.

Does anyone know the address to the check station to put in a GPS?

Man I can't wait for some warm weather. I have been out all week splitting wood and it is COLD up here. You can tell how cold by how many times I came back inside to post in the Pow Wow!

We're going to need pictures...lots of them, of camps, people, and even dead critters of anybody happens to stumbles onto one.  :D  Please take those of us who had to drop out along through your eyes.

Lots of fun today. I met a whole bunch of TG fellers today. I was able to hang around camp a bit before having to head home. I walked some awful purty country today and got on pigs 45 minutes out of the truck. A couple of fellers got on pigs as well and one "training" shot taken.Beautiful weather today.

Ok, leaving late as Killie's alarm didn't go off or some such shenanigan...  She's on her way and we should be on the road shortly.  10 hours puts there about 1600 this afternoon.  Not leaving until Sunday.  Rain or shine, this will be a blast!  Can't wait to see everyone there.

Well...got through my major dental work done yesterday!     :goldtooth:     So, I could not leave right away as planned! ( & Drugs and driving long distances don't mix well) However, no fear! (to the dem Hogs) I should be "shovel ready" today and be well on my way into GA by tomorrow! I still have stitches in though, so if anybody has some oat meal for breakfast, I will greatly appreciate it and join in sharing coffee in the morning with you.     :biglaugh:

I am very disappointed, but I have to bow out also. I was waiting all year for this too. A personal emergency came up and I have to cancel.
