october hunt

[Franklin3]

I would do it in a heartbeat LD. I swear I'd leave my only daughter, My first child.
to walk herself down the aisle, give herself away. Face the wrath of my sicilian wife of 32 long grueling hard MF...g years. I'd do all of that just to walk up the wash to the triple nipple in the chance that there might be a hog there coming down to water. But alas today is my birthday and I'm feeling like I must be getting really really old and probly I'd just walk up that draw to go to the bathroom and them hogs would eat me!
Besides I wasn't even invited I don't think Cecil likes me anymore I made fun of his Salmon Patties!
I apologize Cecil after eating one i found it was really good I would eat one again I swear! In fact last friday I slipped off to the Sacramento River and managed to land a couple real nice Kings, a 25 and a 30 LBER. I'm getting them smoked up right now at Willow Glen Meats I'll save some for the next trip we can trade smoked for loafed.
I'm gonna start working out and see if I can get younger and stronger. I've had a membership to the Y for 25yrs. but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I think I'll go out and eat a bunch of French food tonight and maybe have a bottle of real old wine to wash it down, Some fruit covered custard for desert! then chase the wife around the living room for 3 maybe 4 minutes.
I better start training now.

 

[Lurediver]

Franklin3, do you need some Gibbs Minnows for salmon fishing? 70/100

 

[Franklin3]

OK LD I'll bite.
Whatza Gibbs Minnow?

I use cured Roe or Kastmasters.


I almost screwed up and advertised somebody here withou permission.

This is the Hog forum and in my book this 30lber is a HOG!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lurediver]

2-3 ounce jigging lure that's in the shape of a fish! Tones of people on the sac use them for salmon, and I scuba dive for them and have a couple thousand in stock!

hell franklin it would take alot more to affend me than that, but if you need a camera man for chasing the wife around give me a call i think we would all enjoy that

tell your daughter congrats for me

 

[Franklin3]

Cecil by the time you got the camera started the action would be over. But I gotta say it was hot while it lasted! I can't wait till Xmas!

LD send me a PM let's talk about those lures. I might be interested in any white or silver ones you might have with a double treble hook and patch of material on one side.

 

[Franklin3]

Just got home from visiting Choppers today! you guy's probably don't want to know what we saw!

 

[Gyopo]

Franklin,
What did you "saw?"
BTW, That is one heck of a salmon!!
Did you land that hog w/that spinning set up beside you?

 

[Corinthian]

c'mon... what did ya see?

 

[Franklin3]

Jusat went to get out of the city for a bit and since Chopper offered My son and I had to take a litte cruise in the Safari Wagon. We had 30 minutes to kill while waiting for someone to show up. Anyway we pile in with Dolly and head out just enjoying the ride when we hear rustling in the brush above us and look up and see a sow abou100lbs followed closely by another sow a little bigger and shes followed by a wheelbarrow full of littlw weinewr pigs and running up the rear behind them all is this big ole Boar. He's got a rack of cutters you can see from a moving car at 50yds. They all cut down a ridge and run right smack in front of us. If chopper hadn'tr hit the brakes wed have been scraping hog off the jeep for hours. Fresh trails everywhere and water is drying up. That means the hogs will be gathering for daily mud bath treatments. Got me jazzed. So for a short little trip it proved to me once again there are truckloads of hogs on this ranch just looking to be made into sausage.
So we got back and Choppper fired up his BBQ and whipped up the best Venison I ever ate (Brians) and we followed it down with some Wild Hog Adventures Hot links and a couple brewskies.
Later in the day Bubba showed up and we all went out to thin the squirrel population and look for my buck that I had ordered. Saw his little brother and nephew but not him.
There's no place around to match this ranch all you who been there know this to be fact those of you who have yet to make it out there will soon be hooked like the rest of us.

GYOPO: I did land that guy on that spinning gear. 10lb test nearly 25 minutes to boat him. Shortly after my son landed a 25lber that ran straight up river and we had to chase her for 1/4 mile. Again I was with a proffesional guide and he put us smack on fish all day.

jdhowe75,
you could easily get in on this if you bring a bright shiny new ATV with you, and leave it.

 

[bigtusker]

Here are a couple game cam pics from the last few of days. This trough is about 500 yards from the cabin.

All filled up.
Everybody shoot me an email when you get a chance to confirm you are in.

 

[Arrowslinger]

If you guys need someone to help track, drink beer, eat your food, & laugh at....send me an e-mail

and i'll show up for a night.

 

[bighorn67]

Hey AS,

Consider the invite extended. Come on up.

Dave

 

[bigtusker]

After today, I'll be on vacation for a couple weeks with no email or internet access so if anybody needs to get a hold of me, call my cell phone. Number available on my website.
Chopper

 

[Archer32]

Just got off the phone with Chopper (doesn't have web access) and things sound great for the upcoming weekend. I'm arriving Thursday morning and Chopper's got everyones ETA except for Kentuck. I've emailed Kentuck with Choppers # to call to let him know his estimated time of arrival (ETA).

Can't wait to meet and greet and get in the woods. Damn, I haven't been this excited in a long time. Is it Thurday yet?

 

[bubba]

From the sounds of it, you should be seeing some pigs this weekend.

Good luck guys...

 

[Orso]

Just to recap...Let's have everyone just confirm they have spoken with Chopper and Chopper knows what times everyone is coming. The fewest trips that Chopper needs to make to the gate the better.

Orso and Bighorn - Arriving Thurs night (I spoke to Chop for both BH67 and my self)

RichW - arriving Wed and will call Chopper when he gets close to coordinate arriving at gate with Chop. (CORRECT???)

Archer32 - Spoke w/ Chopper last night and has coordinated a Thurs AM arrival with Chopper.

Kentuck - Please confirm you have Choppers phone number and that you have spoken with him for entry to ranch....

Sully - Please confirm you have Choppers phone number and you have spoken with him for entry to ranch....

When I spoke with Chop last night I thought he said that Kentuck was arriving Wed and Sully was the only one we needed to confirm arrival on, but I've been known to get more than a few messages wrong in the past.... So please Kentuck and Sully - Chime in...

Keep in mind it's a long way from Chops house to the gate... If Kentuck and Sully could connect with Archer 32 or RichW or BH67 and myself and possibly arrive at the same time that would be great.

I am pumped... Can't wait to thump a couple hogs. Bring some Judos for stumping during the day.
