Title: Just got back from Osceola Outfitters
Post by: glenbo on June 07, 2010, 08:11:00 PM
I was in Florida for my Mother- in- laws 70 th Birthday and was able to sneak in a day of hog hunting. Along with me was my new Son -in- law Brian who has never hunted a day in his life.I hooked him up with a Bear K hunter and he has been practicing since Christmas. Here are a few Photos of our successful day.

This is Brian getting ready for his first shot EVER at game!

Here is the outcome..

I was a proud Father-in-Law

Ran in to a little action  myself. I got to send one of the shafts that Guru gave me through a nice Boar.

Hopefully I have started a fire. Hoppy is a true Southern Gentlemen and was a pleasure to hunt with.Time to unpack .Glen

Those dogs are a big plus sometimes. Especially if nothing is moving, they can put you on a trail that you never knew was there.

Congrats,

Darren

Congrats on two fine looking pigs! I've been hunting with Hoppy every year since 2002 and have always had a great time. Using the dogs to bay up a hog can get pretty exciting since they don't "catch" the hog but just keep them from running away. I'm sure you had fun stalking too even though you didn't get one that way since it is just really cool walking through those oak hammocks and swamps looking for pigs.

Probably just the camera angle but your SIL looks a lot like Mr Bill Langer!

Now Bill, why would you want to go and insult Glenbo's son-in-law?

I have hunted with Hoppy many times in the past, but not this time of the year .I love slipping around in the swamps down that way in February!
