Ha, Mike that is some funny stuff right there. I think we all would like to read some of your stories at Ray's. I bet they are a hoot.

I will never eat stuffed pork roast again!

You tell a great story! I enjoyed it from beginning to end. To define a good hunting trip doesn't always include killing something. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the elk in September!

Thanks Bernie, you have the right idea.

Too bad most of my hunts are like that though, so I get good experience writing about them without any bloody fingers.

Hopefully I will have a different tale from Colorado.

Last year we hiked in 10 miles and stayed in for 11 days. There were a whole lot of misadventures on that one.

This year we are doing the same but are going in and out on horseback. I am sure there will be some additional funny tales to tell about this trip too. Especially the ride in and out.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks
Gil

That was the best Hog Heaven story tellin' ever! Man, I was right with there with you.

Your story reminded me of my own call of nature in the middle of the night. "Darth Vadar Ray" was zonked out on the couch strapped into his CPAP mask. I had to tip toe past the machine, air hoses, and cords, all the while hoping not to trip and impale myself on Darth's light saber! At least that's what I think he was clutching with both hands. Anyways, I made it there and back without a life changing mishap and lived to tell about it.

I've survived two unbelievable thunderstorms in the back top bunk, with certain death only 17" from my nose! On a good note, I believe the lightning fried most of the critters running around in the ceiling!

We've had some great times at Hog Heaven, your story reminds us that the hunting is just the icing!

Mike has got "ditch" and "feeder" pegged, but it was "ridge" that put me on the floor laughing!

Darth Vader Ray, Darth's light saber, I think all the guys that go to Ray's must have a good sense of humor. That is some funny chit right there now.

Imagine if all the guys that went to ray's were in one room together. It would be like the comedy club.

You guys would have me in tears.

Yea Dave, I remember that...I had kicked Mike off the couch as I am too long for the bunks and Ray was setup in the cot across from the couch. For some reason there were a lot of nature calls...too much yuengling and spirits perhaps?...I would just get to sleep with the Darth Vader glow and suddenly the floor would start shaking and a hulking figure would blot out the glow. When you are in that half awake state in an unfamiliar swamp all kinds of things go thru your mind when that happens...What the Hey!

Hey Mike does this look familiar. That quiver and the bow quiver look awful familiar to me. I am just not sure where I saw them before.

I was getting home sick and going through Ray's sponsor thread and came across this picture. The bow looks to me to be a Northern Mist Classic. Is that what it looks like to you too? I know you are familiar with them so I thought I would ask you.

Ray and Mike probably forgot to tell you about their Ditch restocking program.

I quit jumping over ditches after this guy popped out of the culvert.

Man Rick I wanted to see an alligator in the worst way. I see Ray and Mike sent you some pictures from their Florida vacation.

Yeah Gil, that's the Classic. Man can't take a knap anywhere !

Gil Verwey · « **Reply #94 on:** June 05, 2012, 08:53:00 AM »

Yes it sure is a Classic, the picture not the bow!

What was that about a sorry butt earlier? Who is sorry now.

I see this day you chose the Yankee post method, of the Hogs come to you. Using this method I saw (dreamed about) the biggest hog of my life.

See you next year, I can't wait.

Need to see if Ray will put that picture of Barry Wensel's love child up here. Might as well since it's my day in the barrel!!

Gil Verwey · « **Reply #96 on:** June 05, 2012, 01:27:00 PM »

I had that picture from January, but I can't find it or else it would be here.

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #97 on:** June 05, 2012, 06:55:00 PM »

You mean This one?

Gil Verwey · « **Reply #98 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:28:00 PM »

Thats the one.

We call them red briars "cat hooks". Just like a kitty's paw.
