Hill Big-5 arrived today! Man what a sweet bow. Looking forward to flingin' some woodies at the pigs!

Can't wait!

God Bless

I haven't decided what bow to bring, mostly because I've never hunted hogs.

Would a shorter bow be better for the terrain we'll be hunting (I own 58", 60" and 64" bows)?

David , last year my son hunted with a 66" Foley longbow at Ray's and said he had some difficulty getting thru the really thick stuff. I know when Doug and I were down there in March we got into the briars and our 58" bows were'nt a problem.
It can get really thick in there but that seemed to be were the hogs were. Don't forget to pack some clippers to cut your way out!

wish this was early spring,,, I'd go again in a heart beat! but the heat this time of year in SC will make me pass out and fall onto a fire ant hill and well I don't think I'll make it back to Boston in time.

goodluck to all of you.

The 66" bow was a bit much. I bought an ambush and can't wait to get down there with it.

bartcanoe · May 04, 2011, 11:26:00 PM

Thanks for the info, that narrows it down to the 58" or 60".

petertschantz · May 05, 2011, 05:20:00 PM

I'll be the odd man out. I'll have a 64" and a 68", and probably hunt with the 68"

I'm too wide to get through the thick stuff easily anyway....

After "slipping" through the swamp in June you'll be less wide.

bartcanoe · May 06, 2011, 07:16:00 PM

Welcome sticksandstones, another Michigander in looking forward to meeting you.

sticksnstones · May 06, 2011, 07:46:00 PM

Thanks! I actually lived in Fayetteville for three years myself (working for Peter's old boss at that). I think the campfire stories will come easy to this group

bartcanoe · May 06, 2011, 07:55:00 PM

This is my third time I've been here at the behest of Uncle Sam, and it has become my home away from home (born and raised in Michigan).

Rick Butler · May 06, 2011, 08:19:00 PM

Cool beans, looking forward to sharing a camp with you guys.

petertschantz · May 09, 2011, 08:14:00 AM

Guys, unfortunately some things have come up which will prevent me from making it down for the hunt.

So there is still a spot available for this hunt!

If you have been thinking about getting down to Ray's, and want to go with some great folks, here is a chance.

God Bless

Pete

Rick Butler · May 09, 2011, 10:05:00 AM

Pete, Sorry to hear that, but sometimes life gets in the way. Look forward to sharing a hunt with you someday.

petertschantz · May 09, 2011, 10:43:00 AM

Rick, that is the truth. Looking forward to catching up with you guys someday soon.

Pete

petertschantz · May 09, 2011, 04:53:00 PM

things got changed a little bit and I will be able to make it that weekend. So NO spots left :cool:

So I get to go back to looking forward to the trip.

God Bless
