Would this be an Okay hunt for newbies or is this experienced only?

What ever happened to the free hog hunt with your young relative? Was it Zack?


Not wanting to highjack but Fugaloo,
I was thinking the same thing, thought there would be a story up by now?

crackerman, newbies are more then welcome. I usually take the newbies with me, I have done pretty good on getting them their hogs. Pro953 and ruger_mac were fairly new, got them there hogs when they were with me. I actually have a lot of fun getting new guys out and on their hogs, its almost more of an adrenilin rush for me to see the excitement on their faces.

I did this hunt two years ago and it was the first big game hunt i've ever done. This is my third hunt and everytime I go learn so much about hunting, this is perfect for anyone new to hunting.

The first hunt Mel and I both had Hogs by 10am on Sat. my second hunt I came home empty handed, that was my fault though, saw plenty of hogs I just took a bad shot. This time "Patience" will be my new Motto.

Hey everyone. If you are considering going on this hunt i just want to throw in my two cents and say get out and do it! This was my first hog hunt last year and the whole crew was great. We saw a ton of boars, sows and piglets last year and with the mild year we have had so far i am pretty confident this year will be good as well. For 400 bucks you get 2.5 days of hunting on a private ranch and you get to meet some guys from JHO. I had my first hog by Saturday morning and we had opportunities 3-4 times before we took our hogs. Great ranch for new hunters and those looking to get away from roughing it on public land hunting for a few days. Hopefully we can get enough people to make this happen!

Last weekend I deer hunted a ranch that borders the Cooley and let me tell you, the hogs in that country are THICK right now. I could have killed 10 hogs on the weekend if I wanted to. In fact, there were so many that they got in the way of the buck hunting. Hogs were out in the open past noon. If your on the fence with this hunt, JUST DO IT. You will not regret it from what I've seen up there lately.

Gotta start getting ready, already!

:hog chewing: :shootin-rifle:
Not on the fence at all, just having trouble waiting. Mel, I'm definitely down, have we got enough so that we can start assembling information? Better go get a pig tag.

Rich,
We should be good as long as nobody drops out. If anyone wants to start sending their information and deposits to me, that's fine. I will hold on to the deposits until I have all in, then off to George they go. But please keep in mind, deposits are non refundable, so please be sure your in.

Here's what I need, you can PM me here with your information and i'll reply back with my address where to send the deposit.

Name
Address
Phone #
Hunting license #
Pig tag #
Method of take?

After I reply with the address where to send the deposits, make the deposit out to George Mavrakis for $200. I'll also mention this again in my reply email.


Thanks guys!

I might sound like a broken record about this, but be sure to have good boots and be prepared to walk UP hill! I walked so much last time that walking down hill was hurting. and good optics for glassing.
