Sent you pm Misfire.  

You'll be lucky enough to try some family recipe home-made scrapple.  Can't imagine anything would be better before a hog hunt than a hot scrapple sandwich!

This sounds like a great time.  Can you tell me if the piggies are fenced in or freeranging?

Practically impossible to get lost at Rays. (This coming from someone that can get lost in my own backyard) The layout of the property is actually very easy to navigate. Just take a compass and you will be fine. I had a GPS but never needed it. So long as you can read a compass and plot a course you can find your way back. Worst case at Ray's, head due East and you have to hit the highway, but you will cross roads on the property long before you would get that far. It's easy!

Warning to Hog Heaven hunters!

Squirrel Bait's phone alarm goes off at 4:30AM! Then again at 4:40AM! After he finally shuts it off he falls right back to sleep and begins snoring!

He does this the morning before you have a 12 hour drive home.

Hey Cave Troll, miss us yet?

I'm thinking about it.  I saw one struttin this afternoon and I had goosebumps all over.  Our season doesn't start till the 14th of April so I'd love to get an early start.

There will be plenty, although, they will probably be pretty jumpy after I hunt them.   :biglaugh:
