Gauging Interest - JHO Tejon Winter hunt

[Speckmisser]

So I got approval from Don to have a special POR on the last weekend of January this year. However, as with all of the special PORs, I need to get 25 hunters minimum to do the event at the POR price of $450.

A lot of you guys have been after me to schedule a winter-time hunt. Well here it is. December was out of the question, so January was the next option and required some finagling (many thanks to Barbara) to get us in.

I'd like to see it come together.

So, it's on the calendar. Who would attend? Respond to the poll so I'll know if we should leave this on the calendar or let Barbara free it up for some other lucky group.

Spread the word, call your friends, and let me know. Application packets are not ready yet, so don't start sending me emails.

The other JHO/Tejon dates are posted in the pinned thread.

Has the animosity gone personal?

 

[hogassasen]

I'm in , If my buddy wants to go does he have to be from JHO? Is this a gun or bow hunt?

 

[Speckmisser]

Hogassasen, it's any legal means, bow, muzzleloader, handgun or rifle. As far as I know, the only weapon that hasn't been used successfully for one of these hunts is a muzzleloader... our first archery kill (for the JHO POR) happened this past spring when OneTrack slipped a broadhead into a real nice hog.

Preference goes to JHO members, but friends and family are more than welcome.

Beast, I'm sure you're aware that Birddawg and I are constantly messing with each other, but there's DEFINITELY no animosity.

I know. I'm actually trying to provoke one.

It's been quite slow here in the hog forum lately.

Man, this is a tough decision for me. It's the last weekend of waterfowl, and that is my all-consuming passion. Arrgh. Yes. Maybe. If I sign up I know I'll get a low number at LDC. Arrrrrrrgh. Spring JHO POR, fo shoooooo.

 

[DILPRXO]

I usually do the February POR..you would really have to twist my arm to hit Tejon a whole week early... ok I'm up for it.

 

[Family Tradition]

I like this idea...........

Phil, e-mail me the info if it gets solid and I'll be in.

[Speckmisser]

Mark, the dates are solid.

For all... the catch is this. If we don't get 25 hunters, then the price increases by about $100. We can cancel straight out at that point, or have a smaller hunt.

Either way, I have that weekend reserved. If you wanna hunt Tejon in the winter (a tricky proposition, weather-wise), this will be a great opportunity to do so.

no animosity here.........it's just that speck is jealous as I'm better looking than him.

 

[Suzmar1997]

I might be in for it, just don't know if I'd be able to make it to both the winter and summer hunts (And if not both, which one I'd rather do). I'm definately interested.

 

[tholihan]

Speck,

Count me in! Sounds like a great time.

 

[One Track]

Shoot man. Not this year. I have a NV deer hunt in Dec, and another hog hunt in Feb.

 

[wyemjohnson]

Wish I could but am steelheading that weekend, and your archery POR is when the RMEF Elk Camp in Reno is going on. Man gonna miss out again!

Lose a few more pounds in the middle and Speck is in for a close contest.

I will have to let you know, Man I had a great time on my first Hunt in May, however I might have a conflict due to the last weekend of Waterfowl.. which is the last weekend in January.
