Ray just posted that he has the whole weekend open due to a cancelation.  Their loss, our gain.

I have been chomping at the bit to get back down to Hog Heaven since my trip there this past July.  We just need to round out the party with 5 more hog hunters !

Check out Ray's post in the sponsor section.

If you have been to Hog Heaven before, you already know Ray is a great host and has some great property for chasing hogs.  If you have not been there before, this is a great opportunity.

So... who's in?

I would like to go,never been,have to check and see if I can get off work. I'll check tomarrow.

Brian I would love to hunt with you again! I gonna see if I can pull it off. Bit of a long shot give I get back from TX on 1/7, but I'll let you know.

wheres hog heaven? and what does it cost?

"You (both) can do it if you try!"

  :D      :D    :D

Jan is great month to hunt Hog Heaven!  Very, very few skeeters to bother you.

Sorry Brian, I cant make it as I will be there 2 weeks earlier    

Good luck, I promise to leave a hog around for you guys  :rolleyes:

Everything included, travel (driving) and food and lisence, what do you think the cost would be?  Coming from Chicago...  Thanks.

Approx 1800 mile round trip (for you) so maybe $190 gas.  At least two hotel nights... maybe $175 there.  Food... you know yourself there better than me...the only food you'll need is road food... say $40.  Ray will feed you better than your Mama once you get there.  SC license $40.  Then the cost of the hunt $575.  Total $1000 +/- a hundred.

OR...

swing straight south the night before stay here and in the morning we ride together, split a hotel x1 Thrs night, split gas, drive straight back here Sun night, you can light out Mon morning.  That should easily nock off a couple hundred.  Maybe $700-750.

Maybe I missed it on the connecting link, but the only costs I saw were the $40 hog tag and the cost to get there. He can't be doing this for nothing, afterall he does have expenses.

Friends of mine have a place in Charlston and been on me to visit. I'd love to make this happen, and will check.

Ray's website has pricing (for 2010).  His new price for 2011 is $575.

January is a good time to go. You won't see any snakes before 9am or so....too cold. Skeeters don't start up till 2 pm or so.
I mmmmmmiss Ray's pepperjack grilled cheese sandwiches. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Up for the weekend.

Biggie,

In January I'm going to be making some 2 inch thick pork chops stuffed with herb-laced ricotta and goat cheese for dinners on Saturday.... as well as home made soups and pepperjack cheese sanwiches using home baked breads for lunch

Dang Ray you just made me hungry!

Folks,  I aint kiddin' ya.  Ray can cook!  If you loose weight at Rays, you must have a tapeworm.

If you can tolerate someone who has only been shooting a longbow for two years I'll go! Never hunted hogs, sounds like a good time.

I'd be coming from Central Ohio.

I emailed Ray on the 10 and tried to call him today, to try and reserve a spot haven't heard back yet.
