Well it had mud on it I bet it had blood too.    

[awbowman]

A 2-piece Mohawk ..... does it get any better than that?  I bet there were some good looking arras along with it.

[lpcjon2]

Thats a jersey boy for ya! when ya least expect it POW!!!! he opens his heart to ya. Rob you are truly a remarkable man. And Terry you are truly a lucky guy. Hey can I take Rob hunten?  

[Izzy]

Man Terry, you cant mention a Doug Cambell knife and not flash a pic or two of it.  

[Izzy]

That is the exact Mohawk I would order minus 10 lbs. Very fine looking bow there bro. Cant wait to hear some more, I know SC is shy of a few hogs right now.  

[cacciatore]

This says me something more about Rob!      

[Terry Green]

So,,....I got Doug Johnson in tow...and am on the way to pic up Curt at the Augusta Air Port Wed night....so we can get to camp and start off a 3 day hunt Thursday morning.

Had the Safari camper tagging along behind me full of all the 'stuff' we would need for the LONG weekend.  We would arrive at camp late that evening and not get much sleep, but who cares......we would at least 'be there'.

[Terry Green]

After our arrival approaching midnight....we got camp sparsely organized...mostly out hunting gear ready and bedding.  The rest of camp could wait till after the morning hunt. Of course, we had to chit chat for an hour before we retired.  The anticipation was killing us and we were hyped to say the least.

Again, please bear with us....Curt is a bit under the weather and is slowly trying to get his pics in order.

[Terry Green]

The next morning came early and we decided to take to stands at daylight.  Curt was up in the lefty stand 'Skylight' and Doug decided to hunt the 1st stand now named 'Wood's Stand' after Michael's son Woods Langahans.  If you have ever met Woods, you would agree, the young man needs a stand named after him....so there. And I would patrol the road some mile and a half between them.

The morning was quiet.  The most quiet I've ever seen it there, and not a hog was sighted. But, there were plenty of deer to be shot, only they weren't on the menu.  So, back to camp for lunch and total organization.  Wow, that don't sound like me.      

[Terry Green]

After an early lunch we hit it again immediately, now that it was light, we could look for fresh sign and get a better idea of what was going on.

In doing so, we stayed out for another 3 quiet hours searching for sign and hogs, we returned to camp for an hour break before heading out for the rest of the afternoon at about 3:30.

Curt wanted to sit the Skylight again which was down in the Savannah river bottom, and Doug was so mesmerized by that bottom, he decided to hunt 'The Race Track' stand.  The stand got its name from a group of nearly a dozen piglets came racing from afar to get to the feeder at this stand.  They hit a curve in the road and slung dirt as they got broadside making their final approach.  Michael Langahans deemed the stand the name and told us about it Saturday night during his visit.

I would take the 'Sunset Stand' the last hour and a half after patrolling the road again.  You haven't experienced this property till you've had an experience at Sunset.  I had had such an experience on one of my earlier hunts with Rob, but chose not to shoot and bugger up the area so Rob could hunt it the next evening.

[ishoot4thrills]

WOW! Nice bow. I believe I would have gotten all teary-eyed over such a gift. Heck.......I think I'm gonna get that way anyway!

         

[Terry Green]

Now we had a little more idea of what was going on.  LOTS of sign in the bottom, that's why Curt wanted to go back to his morning stand, and Doug chose the race track.  More tracks in the road had my interest peaked, plus, I know anything can happen at Sunset.  Now we were really hyped.

After out short break snacking and airing out our feet, were were wide open again in the quest for pork.  This evening would hold many encounters.

Doug doesn't type well, so I'll try my best to relay his two hour 'show' as he called it as he so exuberantly told it.

[Yellow Dog]

 love it!!!!!!!

[stujay]

Well it's in the middle of being told and Terry is a master at it...waiting for the "rest of the story"

[pdk25]

Sounds like a great trip from great friends.  Can't wait to hear more.  Real nice gifts Rob.

[JamesKerr]

Sounds like a great trip. Rob you are the MAN!

[Guru]

Sorry for the delay chiming in here, a "bug" started to get me Saturday night and really settled in on Sunday. Miserable traveling home!

I'm gonna get some pix sized up and will try to post throughout the day.

Can't thank Terry enough for everything, he truely is "my brother from another mother", almost hard to imagine how my life would be without tradgang and the friends I've made since it's inception    

I'll be back.....

[Over&Under]

Tough to describe the feelings I'm sure Terry...what a great gift from an even better friend.  Well played Rob!!

Looking forward to more of the hunt!

[Terry Green]

Here's a little visual....this is one of the walls to 'The Bedroom'.  Doug said as we were walking down it 'How would you like to have to track in that!"......I told him he just might find out....

   

And here is another wall of the bedroom.....

   

[FerretWYO]

This looks like it was a great hunt. Looking forward to the rest.
