Title: Hog Heaven First Annual SKWERLN' EGGSTRAVAGANZA
Post by: Ray Hammond on October 13, 2009, 05:07:00 PM
Had an idea- we have TONS of squirrels. In February 5,6,and 7, 2010 you guys got nothing to do, right?

I'm going to give away one free squirrel hunt in a drawing on Thanksgiving Eve. Just sign up at the back of this thread with your name and we'll put them in a hat.

At the hunt itself, we're going to have prizes for the most squirrels- first place gets a free HOG hunt at a later date, and the most armadillos gets a return squirrel hunt the next year.

The hunt that starts on a Friday morning and runs through Sunday afternoon.

We would need you to camp, but we do have bathrooms and showers. We'd have big fires, and ..smores for the kiddies if you bring one,  and lots of campfire tall-tales.You can arrive on Thursday after noon and set up.

We'll have 20 slots...and we'd provide a big fancy meal Friday and Saturday night, and breakfast on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings for everyone.

The cook for the weekend is a gourmand, and he'll prepare fresh seafood gumbo or maybe a low country boil- shrimp, crabs, clams, oysters, and such with corn on the cob, potatoes, and seasoning, throw it all on a big table covered in newspaper and everybody gets their fill.

Coyotes, armadillos are also fair game.  

Cost? $160.00 per adult, kids under 14 are $100. If you are an adult you have to get a 40 dollar three day nonresident license gets you three days of fun and cameraderie and hopefully some better weather than where you're at!

You can either Paypal your funds to rayhammond01@yahoo.com  or mail them to

Ray Hammmond
409 Wild Hill Rd
Woodstock, GA 30188

To make this fair, I need to go with the first 20 payments I receive, OK?

You can call me with questions, 678.300.2883 or email at above address.

You might also check the Sponsor's Classifieds for Hog Heaven to see details about the land.

More squirrels than I've ever seen anywhere in my life....you will have a good time- I promise! If this goes well, we'll make it a yearly event.

I'd be too tempted to shoot a pig!

This would be a great family get-a-way for some of these yanks.  Good idea buddy!

Ray,
Wish you were closer to Kansas!  We might could have done another trade for that second plaque.  By the way, did you ever decide which one of your trophies you wanted done?

Sounds like a blast. By saying you'll be giving away a hunt on thanksgiving eve are you picking someone to go or giving one of the 20 who sign up a free pass? Just wasnt sure if I was reading it right. Skippy

Post by: Ray Hammond on November 11, 2009, 03:32:00 PM
I guess I needed to SPLAIN that, didn't I? put your name here and you'll be in a hat drawing for a free squirrel hunting spot. We have both grays and fox squirrels, but we have so few foxies we don't want them taken. It would be for the grays.

Come and hunt with us, kill the most squirrels, and your prize will be a free hog hunt for one.

Take the most armadillos and you will get a return squirrel trip for free.

Don't show up without squirrel recipes, though!!!

I'd like to go if for no other reason than to watch Biggie chasing squirrels!   :saywhat:  
Unfortunately I have a permit for a special hog hunt near home on those exact days.
So.... good luck to those who go, and post pics!
Sounds like it will be a great time!
Great offer Ray..... perhaps next year.
