Im headed down to my property in Texas for pigs this summer maybe sooner. Open to having whoever is interested ride down, split expenses etc. No five round rules, maybe five mags.
Im in! What is the closest airport with airline service. At a dead minimum I can fly down for a couple days if someone was interested in picking me up. If I can get off enough days I would much rather drive down especially with the equipment I would be bringing along.
Nah no big deal fellas its only an 8 hour drive. just split the gas,food, beer budget is all. the essentials
I would be driving down as well. My 15 yr old son is begging me to come. [LOL]
let's make it happen. We need to get together for a preparatory beer, swap lies and gun picts (better than kid pics)
That sounds like fun. I am on jury duty for this upcoming week. I just want it to end! [Mad]
Im off wed-sat this week. Let's figure out some dates. During the week usually works best for me.
Who's in; seriously. If you guys want to make something happen this week, LMK because I'm in.
Lonestar isn't heading to his property till this summer so I think we are looking at dates then. I guess we should make sure it is okay with him and see how many guys he wants on his property!
This week we just wanted to plan it out and see what dates would work for everyone.
Well we have a couple options. We can drive about 8 hours, and that would be good for about 4 guys. I also have a chunk of land about 14 hours away in Texas and I say 6 would be ok out there. Plus at that location there is a couple tanks for fishing...(or turtle shooting). I suppose the best way to do this is to get ahold of who wants to go where, and try to work it out as fair as possible. Im pretty busy this week but maybe we can start trying to figure out a couple vague details. Its not for another 6 months so nothing is concrete yet.
Count me in either way, I'd gladly truck it down to TX. It'd probably be best if we all go hit the local watering hole (range, pool hall, etc.) and make a plan.
Lonestar,
just want to doublecheck you would be okay with us coming down?
when would be a good time for people to come down?
how much property would we be hunting on?
are there better times to hunt where we would see more hogs?
maybe let us know what some date options are so we can figure out who wants to go when and then decide who would drive, carpool etc.
also as far as lodging, should we bring campers, are there hotels nearby, could we tent it and camp out?
If it is only 8 hours it would be easy to leave super early in the morning, get there for a evening hunt, set up camp or hotel etc, have dinner, and have a couple full days of hunting and then leave the last morning, maybe after a morning hunt.
Ok ill try to answer everything I can.
Yes I am ok with people coming down. I specified how many would make it a decent hunt without getting over crowded. As far as lodging, the location 8 hours away has motels or bring campers/tents. The location further south has a full bed and breakfast house. Best times I have found to hunt are July thru September.
Yes you are correct about the trip it is a very easy drive.
As far as land, there is plenty, couple hundred acres, but when hunting hogs down there, you can tell where they are and there patter because they rip shit up like crazy. SO although there is plenty o' land it wont all be used.
I'd like to push to go farther south, a good friend of mine would likely come along and maybe another if need be all depends on who's serious. I know TX can be hotter than a mofo so I'd be just fine with waiting for Sept. haha.
Ok Im gonna take a preliminary list of who all wants to go. just so i can get an idea before we go have a beer and get stuff set.
SO:
tell me which location you would like to go to, as well as parties involved. we can go from there
I would like to go to the closer one and would prefer midweek stuff
im guessing triggerhappy will go to but other than that i wouldnt be bringing anyone else
As far as I'm concerned, my previous post would be ideal for me but since you've been generous enough to open up your land to us, Id like to know what works best for you and work with that as I'm pretty flexible for a 4 day weekend deal (or more depending on when).
Im in! I prefer the shorter drive myself and during the week. I usually have off at least 3 days during the week and should be able to extend it by a day or two. July or august for me. September is for elk!
in!
I would be in for that if theres room for another! We use to hunt javelina in AZ and it was a blast! I dont even drink so I wont drink all the beer [Beer]
Either place.
