Izzy,

None of my beeswax

, but...

Wouldn't a Ray tattoo have to be one of those full body things?

I've been twice and was fortunate enough to meet Andrew and Harry on the second trip. The fact that Andrew is now the man doesn't concern me in the least......fine gentleman.

Hey Ray,
Thanks for some good times with you and friends like the Surtees. Prayers for success with family and your other venture. Give my best to Mike.
God's Peace,
Jed

Well I have only been down there a couple times, but it was fantastic both times. Ray you were indeed a great host, and friend. Your bag is in good hands and much appreciated. That trip is getting close. Thanks again for the good times. I did get to meet Andrew, and he is for sure a southern gentleman, and super nice guy. Hopefully I will be there many more times.

Ray, you are a great friend and I'm very thankful that I got to meet you through Hog Heaven. I look forward to hunting with you in the future when you don't have extra responsibilities around camp!

I've met Andrew and Harry, and last weekend I scoped out the new camp for a while. There are some renovations under way, but it looks like it will be a big upgrade from the old trailer, God bless her in all her glory.

I look forward to trying out Andrew's cooking, but I hope Ray left the secret recipe for the biscuits and gravy!!!

My thanks to each of you for your kind words- I can tell you each of you got the short end of the stick on this deal....at least that's how I feel.

I'm glad to know each of you!

Hope all goes well with you Ray. Your hostings at Hog Heaven were exceptional as well. I have very fond memories of my hunt there last year because of you, Andrew, and Larry Surtees.

I hope to revisit in the near future as retirement nears.

Bud

Bud, I couldn't agree with you more

Hi Ray good luck in your endeavor. The great cooking and stories and singing made for fun and enjoyable camp life. Hope you won't be too busy to keep us posted on T.G. Take care Kip

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #33 on:** May 24, 2013, 08:53:00 AM »

I won't be a stranger, Kip! Speaking of cooking, when is your next trip down to camp going to be- I don't want to miss out on that gumbo or etufee!

Lawd, that was some fine eatin'!

I use your spice shake you gave me on my eggs every morning! Awesome stuff.

Kip · « **Reply #34 on:** May 24, 2013, 10:32:00 AM »

Ray I sure hope to get there some day soon but I have a couple of hunts on my bucket list (Antelope and or mule deer and elk and bear).Most beautiful swamp I had been in and I have seen a few in Louisiana but those cypress are a sight to behold.Kip

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #35 on:** May 24, 2013, 12:30:00 PM »

Just so no one worries all new reservations are in Andrews hands. Let me know of your questions or concerns til his website is up and running

Izzy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 25, 2013, 01:47:00 PM »

Any pics of the new digs floating around yet?

Likewise. I'm sure Andrew is a fine man. I met his son once and if that's any indication he's a fine man indeed, and the place will be a much more upscale place from the sound of it, but it will no longer be Hog Heaven and that's sad. But then, as a friend of mine says, 'If you're not a little sad about moving on, you wasted your time where you were" and spending time with Ray and Mike was sure as hell never time wasted.

I had a great time hunting down there with you Ray. Hope you get more family and vacation time to not use working.

Best wishes Andrew, perhaps I will get a hunt in with you? Truly Gods Country down there.

Hey Izzy, I made arrangements with Andrew to access the site on my last trip and took some pictures. I will try to get them posted sometime after I finish observing Memorial Day.
