Booked my first trip to Hog Heaven! 3 spots still available, Jan 31-Feb 3

[Pokerdaddy]

I'm very excited.  Just booked my first trip to Ray's Hog Heaven for January 31st - February 3rd!  Ray still has three spots available for that weekend, so let's fill her up!  

This will be my first time hunting hogs and also my first hunting trip outside Michigan.  This is a 40th birthday present to myself, with my wife's and kids' blessing.  My daughter (7) wants me to take a hog so she can "eat ham sandwiches for a month...and BACON!!!".  Of course, now I need to start shopping for a takedown longbow for the plane ride.      

Anyone else up for a weekend at Ray's???

[Rick Butler]

Andrew you're gonna love it!  A bunch of us from Michigan are already booked for May.  Wish I could join you in Jan.

Maybe I missed it but where is Ray's Hog Heaven located???

[Rick Butler]

Near Estill S. Carolina.

Glad you chimed in, Rick.  If I remember, you've been there before, correct?  I was hoping to get a Michigander or two to come along, but it will be great to spend the weekend with any TradGangers.  I've met so many great people through this site, and look forward to meeting many more.

Get yourself a Two Tracks (H)Ambush for the flight. Travels real nice in a golf club travel case.

By the way, Happy (early) Birthday Andrew.

Rick should add Estill in is TG profile's "From:" field      

modr, might you be the guy shooting a Widow recurve from the hunt when Danny got the tri-color last winter?

That pretty gray one is on sale, too bad it's a lefty.

Mike, I was hoping you might wanna get back down to Ray's for a winter break!  Of course, the camp atmosphere will be a little "different" than your recent Hawaii trip...but I'm sure you remember how to camp sans WiFi and tropical drinks.  :D

[Rick Butler]

Andrew, hunting hogs at Ray's is highly addictive. You'll be planning your next trip before you leave S.C.  We'll try and save ya a bunk for May.  

[Mike Vines]

I would love to Andrew, but I'm saving my vacation for a few hunts I have planned for next year already, coupled with family time, there just isn't enough time.  Dang work keeps getting in the way.

I just checked the website.
Not too bad of a price at all. Could I send him payments until the time?  I need to check flight costs. I might try to hunt with you

[Pokerdaddy]

Brian, sent you a PM.

Andrew,
Just talked to Ray Hammond over the weekend and sent my deposit for that weekend.  Looking forward to meeting you and spending another great weekend in camp.  I travel down with a good friend of mine who chimed in earlier, Ray Reid.  See you in SC.

Would like to go on this trip myself. Would like to shake hands with Ray (Modr) and meet the rest of you fellas as well. Are you flying or driving Andrew?

[sticksnstones]
