Congrats Curt! I'm sure more will die before you head home. Good luck and be safe!

Well, I guess I'd better chime in on this..

So, this Yankee calls me and wants to go hunting so I said sure, we haven't tar and feathered a yankee in quite awhile. So I meet the yankee at the convenience store, (I just followed my nose) and there he was. I was going to try and sneak up on him but being "street savvy" he quickly exited his car and started begging for his life. After he realized I wasn't going to mug him he settled down for the 15 mile trip to the camp. After we arrived in camp, I removed his front bumper from my rear bumper and introduced him to the "gang". Curt kept looking around nervously, saying something about hearing banjos. There were no banjos but he was a bit skittish. So we hit the woods...

Good on ya, Don and Curt! Nice pig, mate.

Looks like Marjorie Rawlings' old home place! How were the oranges?

Thanks for a story well told through words and pictures. I am very glad that I didn't find it until today, though, Charl... I mean Curt!

That is a cool lookin hog! Conrats again Curt!!  

Great job Curt,I have been checking daily waiting for the outcome of your hunt.Somehow I knew it would end this way.This afternoon I saw Smitty at work and he called me over to show me something on his phone.Just as I suspected it was you with some fresh porkchops.Nice hog!Safe trip home .glen

Congrats on a fine job, now I can't wait till Februrary when I am going down there.  

So I hear these stories about how Curt is the worlds greatest bow shot. I am in the presence of archery royalty I thought. After our trek into the woods, which produced no hogs in spite of my superior hog guiding skills, we retired to camp for a supper of elk burgers, homemade clam chowder and entertainment by Chef Craig. After supper,knowing that Curt would not offer to showcase his worldclass shooting skills, I challenged him to a friendly shootoff for camp champion of the universe and beyond. Curt was ever the gracious guest and deliberately missed the target to allow us to save face in the presence of greatness. Curt even carried this well into the next days hunt, nearly de-quivering on a single hog to make me feel good about myself.

Thankfully, Curt shot a legal hog, meaning one the guide can drive to, and we were soon returning to camp. Unfortunately, I threw my shoulder out loading hogzilla for my guest and was unable to assist in the cleaning process, which disappointed me greatly. So in an effort to make this up to my friend, I went to Chef Craigs and cooked a large pot of grits so Curt would have some quality food after cleaning hogzilla. Wouldn't you know it but Curt, being the woodsman that he is, must have symbolically ate the hogs heart and liver as he cleaned the boar, because he refused my offering of grits!

Great story telling and pics are fantastic.

Congrats on a super hog!

Of course, everything I have posted about Curt is a little continuation of the friendly  "Yankee" bashing Curt endured during his trip to our camp.

Curt was very thankful to have the opportunity to hunt our property when in reality I was thankful for the opportunity to enjoy his company and watch him in action.

I found Curt to be a fine woodsman and archer and one I would enjoy sharing a camp with anytime. I hope I can host him again soon either afield or afloat , chasing pigs, snook, tarpon or whatever is in season.

Curt...great story and as always great pic's...no banjo's huh! well I guess the old saying still holds true..."what goes on in camp, stays in camp" LOL  

DonD you sound like you would be a riot in any camp, never a dull moment I'll bet!
