Headed to Ray Hammonds

[jonsimoneau]

I'm home getting stuff ready for a weekend at Rays place chasin hogs and turkeys.  I've only killed one wild hog and 5 warthogs which are different. I've never killed a turkey.  All in all, I don't know crap about either species.....but I do know something about having fun! Leaving in the AM.  Can't wait!

31 years old, broke and getting broker!  Fiance says the days of spending all of my pittiful paychecks on hunting are coming to an end! We'll see about that! HA!

Thats the sprit. Showing her who's the boss while your out shooting hogs and turkey and she sits at home on the couch eating Bon Bons.

I wish you Good Luck at the hunt my friend. I envy you for going.

[Red Boar]

Best of luck to you!   We are going in July. Post lots of pics upon your return.

You'll have a great time at Ray's, Jon.  Just get your fiance hunting.  That way you'll both be spending your money on the same thing.

Before I married my first wife I told her she knew I liked to hunt and fish long before I met her and if she didn't like it she would still know I liked to hunt and fish long after she was gone.  

My next and last wife understands there are far worse things I could be doing.  She even gave hunting a try but it wasn't her cup of tea but she doesn't try to stop me from going.  Going 16 years strong now.

Have a good time Jon and make sure to take plenty of pictures you can share with us when you get back!!!  

[jonsimoneau]

Guys, I'm just poking fun.  My fiance is totally understanding.  She comes from a big hunting family and she goes deer hunting with me.  I just bought her a new bow last winter! She's cool, but we like to rib each other now and then! She likes to remind me of how "most girls are" and how lucky I am.  I could not agree more!

[overbo]

She have a sister?

Im  headed down in january..save a piggy for me..

[Biggie Hoffman]

Jon I was over last weekend "scouting" for you guys. Didn't loose an arrow cause I knew you were coming and din't want blood and broken arrows all over the woods.
Ray has honed in on the turkeys. Stay late and you'll see 'em. I'd try to hang in there till 11am or so. Wait until you hear the gobbles ringing thru the old SC swamps!!

[Barney]

Good luck to ya!

You'll find the meaning of "broke" when you have kids  

[Big Ed]

Good luck Jon

[rastaman]

Good luck Jon!  You hunting the turkeys with a bow also?  i hope the mosquitos aren't as bad over there as they are here!  It is supposed to warm back up by the weekend.
 

[jonsimoneau]

Biggie, you're not just a mentor, but a true pal.  And I've never even met you in person!  It must have been hard for you to keep your arrows in your quiver, but I thank you, and I'm sure the hogs do too!  Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to either species so I'm going to get your phone number from Ray.  That way I can call and send text messages every 5 minutes or so for advice! HA!  What time do you go to bed anyway?

[jonsimoneau]

rastaman, yea trying 'em out the turkeys with the bow.  I got enough 100% deet bug killer to choke a horse, so hopefully, I can fend them off!

[jonsimoneau]

Overbo, sent you a PM!

[Ray Hammond]

Jon,

T H E R M A C E L L

No deet allowed in camp.

Any Wal-dash- Mart carries them and the butane cylinder and bug repellent strip refills.

Questions? Call me.

[jonsimoneau]

Hey Ray, I picked up a thermacell.  I'll leave the deet at home.  Is it bad stuff?

[GRAYBEARD]

HEY JONSIMONEAU,
LOTS OF PICS, PLEASE. I'M HEADED DOWN THERE IN SEPT. WITH THE SURTEES AND THE WILSONS! CAN'T WAIT.
HAVE A GREAT TIME!
