Hog Hunt at Wild Things
« on: November 11, 2013, 09:47:00 PM »
I just returned from a Hog Hunt at Wild Things.  Outstanding accomodations and the land is tore up with Hog sign.  Andrew and his staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. I will be going back in the future.

I had some close encounters, but could not get a clear shot.  Had a couple porkers hole up in a canal about 5 yards out and they would not cooperate with my game plan and give me a shot.  The nerve!  Saw some good size boars as well.  

Here are some pics:  

The new digs.  A world better than the trailer!

 

A most peaceful Place

Holy cow, that is the first picture of the "bunk house" I've seen in a long time. That really did turn out nice. Glad to hear you left pigs for us, sorry you left all of them.

I visited Andrew on Labor Day weekend and the pavillion was just framed up at that point. The carpenters were working in mid 90's temps, high humidity, and hoardes of mosquitos. They certainly did a great job! I can't wait to see it again in March!

I don't think anyone will miss the old trailer much.  :)

I agree with Bob. Please post more pictures.
I also agree that Harry the Wonder Dog needs a lot of work while we are there for the Hog Wild weekend.

Here are some more pics:

Kitchen and Lodge:

 

Bunk House:

Someone snore so loud it blew the siding off!

 

View from Bunkhouse.  What a great view to wake up to.

 

Another shot of Harry because he is the real deal.  Ask him about those beans the next time you see him.

 

A good campfire.  The only two types of stories told here are lies and damn lies :-)

Looks good except for the plates of beans. If the fellas that Im going down there with get that in their digestive systems it could spell disaster.

Looks like a lot of fun. I was checking out the gallery on their web page and looks like a few familiar faces in there. Is that Lin Rhea I spy?  

I bet it's a beautiful place to visit!!
