May 10-12 Pig-o-rama at Tejon

[Speckmisser]

I can't do the April hunt, but I think I can reallocate my scope money to the Tejon ranch.  I don't really use the .243 all that much anyway since I got the -06 fixed.  

So I'm thinking it looks like May at Tejon.  JHP Hog Hunt II?  

 

[One Track]

The May PIG O RAMA is 5/10 - 5/12.  $300, plus $10 for insurance (good for one year.) Tejon said that the apps will go out on Friday. So, hoping to get mine on Monday, 3/18.  If you are not on their mailing list call Barbara at 661-663-4288. If that # doesn't work, call 661-248-3000.

I have two local buddies that couldn't make the April hunt so I might be changing mine to May.  Better yet, both?  Doubtful but worth a try.

 

[Pasco]

Am I the only guy that's whipped around here?

If I spend even part of Mother's day away from wife and kids I'll be cut off for at least a month.

Is there a June hunt scheduled?

 

[songdog]

uh.... no, you're just the only one smart enough to check the calendar first.

Are those the dates for sure?

 

[One Track]

Oh S%#*!!!   I forgot about Mother's Day. I've got some serious sucking up to do now. Thanks for the heads up SoCal.

 

[Stryder]

Ahhhh the joys of being single!!! but I bet my buddies are gonna get the cuffs put on 'em.

 

[Rancho Loco]

Remember!  Mothers day was cooked up by greeting card companies, flower growers and restaurants with mediocre brunches...Remind them of that!

<font size="1">Yeah, I know....It doesn't work for me either.</font>

 

[Speckmisser]

Oh CRAP!

It IS Mother's Day!  I guess I'll just have to get my hog early, and be home by Sunday.  Yeah, that's the ticket...  

I'm going anyway.  What's the worst that she can do?  :flamethwr:

 

[hronk]

Does anybody know if there will be a hunt in June or July?  April/May is looking a little tough right now.  Barbara said that my packet would be mailed today so I guess they will have a schedule for the coming months....hronk

 

[wavesfr]

Hey how did I get put back to knows the hand shake lol. I only have 2 dots bye my name now. I'm upset bye this. Teasing of course.

 

[limit7]

Maybe Tejon will schedule one for Father's day.  Now there is an idea!

 

[Speckmisser]

Now we're talking, Limit7!  That's a great idea.  Oughtta send Barbara and co. an email to that effect.  Maybe special rate for Father/Son teams?  

Hmmm...

 

[Speckmisser]

Here's a question to you Tejon regulars...

Is there a centralized meeting place where folks could gather after a day's hunting?  I'm thinking, with this many folks, it might be tricky to get everyone into the same area.  In fact, it'll probably be tough to get everyone to agree to a single area.  

If there was a spot where we could gather, build a common fire, share some fellowship around the fire, then maybe retire back to the campgrounds for sleepy time...  that would probably be pretty cool.  But not knowing the place, I have no idea if that's realistic.

Speckmisser,

There is no common area. The camping spots are miles apart.

Besides after I hog hunt, sometimes I hardly have enough energy to eat before I hit the rack.....but it's a ince thought.

[Speckmisser]

Thanks for the info, Kernhunter.  Was sorta figuring that might be the case.  Oh well...

Would be fun to make sure everyone got at  least one chance to get together in one spot during the weekend.  But I agree, thinking about it... I'm usually pretty whipped at the end of a day of hog hunting.  Time for quick dinner and bed.

Speck:  

On the south ranch, the camping is very centralized.  There is a  flat area about the size of ten football fields, lengthwise.  It would be easy to circle up the wagons.  There are no amenities, just some level ground for pitching tents and parking RVs. Oh, and some trees for hanging dem big 'ole hogs.

 

[Speckmisser]

Cool One Track.  How's the south side shooting?  I guess that's probably gonna help folks decide.  

Anyway, it'd be cool if we could coordinate in an area.  When you're camping, are you supposed to stay in the campground, or can you pick other spots in the area?

 

[One Track]

Hi Speck:  The south side has treated me well.  So good in fact, that I haven't checked out the north side, which I hear is just as good as the south side.  

On the first hunt, we camped out in the boonies.  When we were checking out at the gate, they asked where we had been camping.  They knew we weren't in the designated area.  They like to keep track of you, for your own safety, I think.  In May, they were adament that we camp in the designated area.  And, we actually enjoyed the camping area, lots of cool people, and lots of tall tales.

I'm signed up for the south side in May. We'll be a group of five, maybe seven. Can't wait.  Time starts crawling as soon as you book a hunt.  Hopefully some turkey hunting will calm my nerves. Bass fishing is easing my pain for the time being. I have a One Track mind, like most of you, I'm sure.

 

[Speckmisser]

More good info, One Track, thanks.

I was talking to someone about possibly hitting the desert area, because there was some "inside information", but now it's looking like he may not be able to make it.  

If the south side is good hunting, and the camping area is good, it sounds as good as any to me.  I'm still waiting on my brother in NC to make sure he's gonna be able to come.  Need to get his license and tags so I can get our paperwork in.  

Anyone else thinking about the South side in May?
