DEET will mess you up, gangsta.

It'll make you like bald eagles in the 60's- you can't procreate with that stuff in your system!

Then your girlfriend won't be so nice, fo' sho'!

Plus, if hogs smell DEET they are gone in a flash.

Woa, ok. Yep, can't have that. I 'aint too bright but I get what your saying.  Can't be good in a wetland area either if it's that bad. You would think as a guy who studied wildlife biology would know that.  But I'm sure we don't have mosquitos like you guys have, so I've never messed much with either one.  By the way...what's a gangsta? Are they in season down there?

Jon,

Here's another tip: Shy away from Ray's fumunda cheese!

Don't ask.

Save some piggies for me, I'll be back in Oct!

Jon, I'll see you there! Your enthusiasm is getting me pumped up like the Governator.  I got a cooler of California's finest packed and ready to go...

Norb

I finaly have everything packed.Now I still have to back out to the shop and cut some riser lams for Tracy to glue up while Im HUNTING with you guys.God I love that women!!If I could get 2 more like her I could hunt all the time.For some reason she just isent into the herem idea.Go figure.     You dont know until you ask though.
Bill

If you asked her that, I have a bad idea I know where your bow got packed!    :p

No she is use to me,and my B.S.Besides I can out run her.

Yeah but she can shoot.

you are a verry lucky man in so many things..  good luck,please have fun  

Gangsta's are always in season...except they shoot back. Plus it's hard to shoot a bow out the window of a moving vehicle..

You'll have a blast!

we don't allow no drive-by's neitha, sucka, YO!

Ray, one of these days I'm going to have to come down there and experience this first-hand.  It sounds like you've been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn singing about Willie the Wimp's Cadillac Coffin a couple of times too many.  I like it!

o i wish i was going. i want to live there.that place is great when you want to get away from everything.even if you don't shoot anything(not much chance at that)you will have the time of your life

About six hours and a wake up!

beachbowhunter, you're my kind of guy. Are you talkin about wine? In that case I'll buy the first round.....out of your cooler!! HA!!!

I'm headed down myself in a couple hours. Gonna be great to meet everyone. Fell asleep last night thinking about those 20 oz. ribeyes!

Here piggy piggy...  :D

Safe trip to all,


Ron

hope this isn't a double post cause I don't know what happended to the other one.

but can't wait to hear how it goes this weekend for you, we are going down next weekend to Rays and """"we still need one more""""  for the turkey/hog combo.  

another guy from Maine who was recently down there told me to Get some "Permanone" bug spray because of the chiggers???  is that the stuff I cannot bring,, I am also bringing the thermacell too and a cheap camo bug suit (for wearing shorts in hot weather)  

anyway I'm a first timer hunting hogs, at rays and even hunting the south so any info or advice will be very helpfull.

also directions down (Im coming down from Boston),,, I can get some but if anyone has any favorite directions to Rays from the north east that would be great, any recommended eaterys on the way,, or places not to stay at?  

good luck to the group this weekend!

Jon, Sharpy, Norbert....please,please,please take lots of pix!!!!!

Best of luck to all            

Good for you!!!

Ya'll have fun....

there's only two ways-

come all the way down on 95...to the Yemassee, SC exit and follow mapquest to Estill...or come down through the Shenandoah Valley of VA to 77 through Charlotte to Columbia, then 321 south to Estill.

The only other ways I know are transcendental meditation or flying a charter- the former might take too long, the latter would get you there quick but cost you a bunch.
