That sounds reasonable to me. I'll talk it over with the Mrs. tonight, but it's a pretty sure bet that I'm in.

Sounds good, what city in NE Texas are you going to be at? Stand hunting or stalk?

I'm going to go ahead and make an executive decision here and say I'm in, before this thing fills up!

There will be two sittings on the stand each day. You can get Fri eve, Saturday morn and eve and Sun morn on this hunt. We can spot and stalk in between the sittings. One day would just about guarantee an opportunity for one and most likely two.

86er,
I know a couple of DWWC folks that have said they want to shoot a hog.
OK if I pass your post content on to them?

86er · Post by **86er** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 11:00 am

Bring 'em on! Copy and past the posting with details and pricing.

Do you talk to Sterling much? I hunted bears with him a couple years ago, it would be nice to share a camp with him again.

86er · Post by **86er** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:21 pm

He's been invited. No sure if he's coming yet.

crs · Post by **crs** » Mon Sep 06, 2010 9:37 am

TedH -
YES, Sterling and I exchanage several emails each week and see each other at the monthly DWWC meetings (where he is a past president). I will also invite him next week to go hog hunting , but he may not know his travel schedule that far in advance..

86er, can you let us know approximately where the hunt will be? I am very interested.

86er · Post by **86er** » Mon Sep 06, 2010 9:07 pm

An hour or two East of Dallas.

When's the next Hondo trip? I ain't driving all the way to NE Texas for a stinkin' pig...too far and too close to Oklahoma.

I've invited Terry and Jamie from BUCKS and DUCKS TAXIDERMY to attend the hunt. They will provide the skinning and quartering of the hogs. They are also offering super reduced pricing on shoulder mounts, novelty mounts and other taxidermy products. This is a great opportunity for all.

Warhawk · Post by **Warhawk** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 6:33 pm

Joe, That is great! I may finally be able to get a nice boar mounted.

86er · Post by **86er** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 3:26 pm

There is still room on this hunt. Come on and join us!

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:53 pm

I'm waiting to hear back from my brother.

86er · Post by **86er** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 9:20 am

Just two weeks left to get in on the discounted early paid in full price.

n2t · Post by **n2t** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:41 am

Amanda and I will be attending this one as well. I'll be bringing a 35rem and .357 mag I think. Checks are filled out on the counter and will be mailed monday.

BrianSH · Post by **BrianSH** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:59 am

So we're back in the mud-pit?

I'll come early so i can get a good parking spot this time.

Joe, where should I send the check too?

HOG HUNT UPDATE -

TERRY FRYE, TAXIDERMIST IS GOING TO ATTEND THE HUNT. HE IS OFFERING A SHOULDER MOUNT TO LEVERGUN MEMBERS AND GUESTS ON THIS HUNT FOR $325. THAT'S $100 OFF REGULAR PRICE. HE CAN ALSO DO SKULL MOUNTS, HIDES AND TAILS. HE'LL BE DOING THE SKINNING AND QUARTERING FOR $25 PER HOG TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TROPHIES WAITING FOR THE TAXIDERMIST, KEEP IT FROZEN UNTIL THE HUNT AND TERRY WILL GIVE YOU A GREAT DISCOUNT ON IT AS WELL. BIRDS, SMALL GAME, BIG GAME, ETC.

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Wed Dec 01, 2010 9:33 pm

That's a good deal on the shoulder mount. Wonder what it would cost to have something like that shipped home when he was done?

crs · Post by **crs** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:04 pm

Troupe has a hockey match Saturday afternoon, so the earliest we could come would be to the motel Saturday evening and hunt Sunday morning. How does the extension work if we had to stay over Monday to get him a hog?

I will also see if Colin wants to come along and shoot a pig with his .458 Socom. If so, we may "pork out" and take three hogs, enough to last a few months.

86er · Post by **86er** » Mon Dec 06, 2010 7:28 pm

Mon morn is no problem

That 458 should be interesting. I'm looking forward to finally blooding my 470NE.

Hey Joe,

Blondie is thinking of coming along for the ride.
She won't want to hunt but is there anything within an hour or so that
she might like to do? Shopping or some sightseeing?

Now that's funny right there

Did you SEE the landscape

Seriously, if Joe will PM me the exact location of the hunt I might be able to help by telling you some things to see and do. Does she like shopping, history, art, flea markets . . . . ?

Texas parks and Wildlife and Texas Highways websites usually have calendars of events.

Jason - send her to my house and Toni will show her the town.

Just got home from western N.Carolina..Porky lost to the 1894fg 41 mag with Federal 210 Fusion loads...one behind the ear at 106yds did the trick

STILL A FEW OPENINGS AND ONLY A FEW WEEKS AWAY! JOIN US, BRING A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER. GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO HUNTING - GUARANTEED TO SEE GAME AND GET A SHOT.

Excellent, Any room left for those that need lodging?

Yes, bring a pillow and a bag - there will be a cot or bunk for you.

I watched Pig Bomb on Discovery Channel and found out these are Eurasian Boars and they are "Trophies to wealthy hunters"!

Well I'm not wealthy! I guess it's a good thing I pre-paid!!

Can anyone coming on the hog hunt use a partial box of 270 WSM ammo? I can't use it, but hate to throw it away.

Don't need it but bring it. Last year we had a round robin swap going on. I need to dig through the bin and bring some things to give to more deserving owners.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 9:31 pm

Good Idea. I dig around and see what I can bring.

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:05 pm

I threw a few things in my pack that hopefully someone can use.

Just passed him lying dead on the side of the road between Llano and Kingsland. He was a brute.
