We have targets, treestands, you just bring your own safety harness.
Nearest town is Allendale, SC its 16 miles away
You are in the middle of nowhere. Phone available at the camp for emergencies only. Most cellular providers have a signal that can be reached about 8 miles away- we have it pinpointed!
We don't believe in television...you are here to eat, live, and breathe the southern hunting experience- in cool months we sit around the fire, make "smores", or have a toddy, listen to the coyotes and tell lies, then go to bed so you can get up and do it again the next day!
ttt for new dates and bookings!

Anyone from upstate SC want to plan a hog trip with Ray?? If so pm me and we will see what we can come up with. I am flexable on the dates but would prefere to go on a hog only trip.
Mike
I am looking at the Jan 09 23-25th weekend. I think I have one, maybe 2 people interested. I live in Columbus, IN. If anyone else is interested, we could carpool. Let me know.

I need some hunters >>>>------->
Ray,
Someday I would like to bring some eastern Boys down to hunt Hogs with you Sir !!!
TTT.
Cant miss out on Rays famous BISCUTS!!!! My buddy Tim loves'em...
Yeah.... Keep talkin Michael...... :mad: :archer:
September is WIDDDDEEEE open, Tom. Its too early to chase deer up there, right? Bring your crew..and you can take your cooler back with ya, bro.
It will be deer and hogs,and cooking almost as good as Doc's.
If you can make the trip, you won't be sorry for this one fellers.
Hey Ray one of these days,I would love to try and make the trip with Tom and friends...I know if nothing else we will have some fun and eat good....I just love smores..........bowdoc
If you guys do come, I'll bring cookies and volunteer as camp flunkie :readit: BQ1 reunion!
Now that would be a trip....bowdoc
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaa. Let's do it.
Ray when is it good other then sept.I got about 6 guy's for elk hunting in sept.this year and at least 3 for next year...So when would be a good time besides sept.or feb.in feb I may be able to pull off the Wensel bros.hog gig...but not sure about that yet....keep me posted on good dates for deer and or hogs next year....hell'ya...........bowdoc
I dunno Ray. I'm beginning to think most folk like talkin bout hunting more than they like huntin! :thumbsup:
well, October is fantastic...so is early November.
May and June are good too.
Hey Ray, is January fantastic? Is there a best month for spotting hogs?
The hogs are there...its just a matter of how hard you want to work. In January there are few things to eat other than rooting in the swamp daylight to midday, and then going to the feeders in the evenings before dark.
They sleep in the swamp, usually in cane thickets, and can be stalked up on and shot in their beds or as they leave...all during hte day.
January is a good time to kill pigs. September, October, and May probably rank as the best months of the year, but the rest are great as well. We don't have much time during the year when things would be called S-L-O-W. I would not recommend full moon weekends as great times to hunt.

OK, March 6,7,8 is booked with two hunters..two slots left
I've booked a special trip for Lin Rhea and his son to come in...this would be a great opening for another father/son or similar to join in the fun.
Acorns on the ground and hogs and deer going nuts, literally!!!
to the top, with updates as of today, 8/24
Sounds like the perfect "Anniversary" trip for me and the misses! :D
well let's do it, 2 Big!!!!!!!!! Us big size fellas can get it done!!!!
A QBI reunion sounds great!
Ray, when is the father son team coming in ?
I had a blast but I have to bring my boy next time or he may shoot me.
Mark
I have Lin Rhea and son coming October 3,4,5th.
Ray, it will have to be some time in 2009 as I have all of my vacation time and money used up for this year. I will get ahold of you in the future and I know the wife would love to kill a hog with her Thunderstick III. :)
sounds good!
