Feathers, Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of the change on Sunday. Glad to hear everyone had a nice time despite the lack of pigs.

I'm glad somebody had the cameras going. My camera was broke and I was going to use my camcorder to take stills and the battery pack broke up there too.

Big thanks to Deedy and all the girls at Bryson Hesperia Resort. The cabins are very nice, they even have dishwashers, something you don't see in a hunting cabin. I only saw one pig and that was the one F&H talked about, he was a toad black boar in area 16. Not sure if he was the one F&H got the shot at or not. He was in the closed zone across the canyon from us. I started out in 10/13 and watched my big boar crossing but he was a no show. I found big tracks where it looked like he had been through there in the days before. I spent some time stalking quail with my bow, trying for a shot but never connected. The quail seemed hard to find compared to most years in 10/13. Driving through area 9 we saw quail all over the place. No bobcats but I never had time to set up and call like I wanted.

I forgot the fort had been open all week because of the elk hunt so the areas got pounded hard before we got there. We might move the hunt back to President's Day next year to get a little less pressure on the hogs before we get there.

Enjoyed putting some faces to the screen names. I missed meeting Larrysgola and his hunting buddy.

Also huge thanks to Tom Willoughby and his son for showing how to skin a hog,

John Foster the warden and Jim from FHL for speaking at the seminar.

One last thanks to the anonymous donor who helped chip in for the band on New Year's eve and to the band Brushfire for the music.

There's one more hog hunter to check in, RichW. He was headed over to the coast to try and whack a hog there with some friends after leaving the fort and Bryson. Maybe Rich has come dead pig pics

Duh, I've been posting in JHO Event Forum and you all are having the party here in the Hog Forum!

We at Bryson Resort wanted to let everyone know how honored we were to be a part of the 1st Annual JHO/Bryson Resort Hog Upland Varmint hunt. We had a really great time and loved being able to spend the New Year with you guys. The weather held nicely and a couple of you - well three now
counting Hanson, saw some hogs in your sights- not bad for our first time at Liggett - Big Country with 130,000 acres to hunt. I'd like to post a special thank you to Warden John Foster Dept of Fish and Game, Biologist Jim Kilber from Engineering & Environment Inc., Tom & Blake Willoughby from Willoughby Outfitter and Guide Services (brought both sexes of pig to show how to dress differently- I only asked for "A pig" , really thoughtful on his part) and Super Person Jesse from Jesse's Hunting and Outdoors, had the idea, guided everyone and helped with everything and comped all kinds of cool stuff like t-shirts, drink cups, stickers and books. The Black Resort Truck is stickered up! Love my free t-shirt and the other binocular/ camera holders are VERY cool- will go to the guys that helped us. Thanks for looking at the hunt lease too. Happy happy New Year to all

Congratulations to JHO'er D7HUNTER on winning the coyote raffle!

The raffle sales were low- you guys had odds of like 40:1 for hog, 20:1 for quail, 25:1 coyote.
Really good chances on a $1,000.00 prize for the hog hunt.
Hope to see you all soon, I'm on to building a Clubhouse and Walk-In Game Cooler. Oh yeah, working on the JHO Carp Bow Hunt & Turkey Hunts too...I see a JHO Pig Hunt in the very near future.
