IIRC, that [bleep] hog was pink. It probably tipped the scales at 4 bills, but it was an angry gay hog (something that Bob would be drawn to) . Sorry, my friend, but it's been a long couple weeks and that was way too easy. George

NYH1,
You've sure had a string of bad luck. Hope things turn around for you real soon.
Pics will be posted after the hunt, and there always seems to be a lot of good stories and memories after these boar hunts that keep getting mentioned. Some sort of history in the making.
Steve
Thanks, my son would love to go, he's 10 so he wouldn't have a firearm, just be tagging along. He loves to go hunting with me. If fact I can't go hunting or to the range without him. Maybe some day! NYH1!

NYH1,
There's not a guy from the Fire who would not say that the most important thing you can do is hunt with your children, and you are doing that with your son.
You may want to show him the hunting pictures on this thread, and see if he is interested in going. I think we'll be doing this for some years and it would be beyond great if the two of you could join the hunt.
Something for all of us to look forward to.
Steve

gunner500,
Both you and the 303 are most welcome and I'm glad you can make it.
And your 303 will get a lot of attention. Just the kind of rifle and cartridge that the loonies wet their knickers over.

John,
It's a tribute to Wilderness that so many of those who, like you, hunted there previously, would like to return.
I think the hunting is excellent there, but I'm pretty sure that in a group of hunters from the Fire, the best memories will be made around the real Campfire there.
That's the way it has worked for the three years we were at Carryonah, and I believe it will only get better.
So, you gotta come back!
Steve

I am certain he would be a welcome addition to any camp Sir as would you.

sounds pretty interesting I now live a lot closer to Tennessee than in past years. Might be a good spring getaway. As to guns, it will probably be either a Ruger #1, or an AR10. I have eclectic tastes...

tex n cal,
Now,with just about a whole hunting season ahead of me, I have a lot of options. Come March, I'm climbing the walls needing a hunting fix.
I think a lot of us are in the same boat. Thus the planning now for March, 2012.
You are probably about a days drive to Wilderness, as are most of us. And as good as the hunting is, meeting Fire members, and building new friendships is even better.
And you do not have to choose between the #1 and the AR10. Bring 'em both and use them on alternate days.
Hope you can join us.
Steve

Steve He looks at pic's on this site as well as others. He not only watches, but records hunting shows on the DVR box. We went hog hunting quite a few times this summer. Thought we were going to get one the last time we went. We went to the range last Saturday to sight in my new Remington 7600 Carbine 30-06 Spr. He brought his Ruger 10-22 with the Leupold 2-7x28mm Rimfire Scope he saved his money to get two years ago. My wife and I said we'd pay half so he saved his money. He went through 4 boxes of CCI Stingers that day. I was having trouble with my 30-06. I made some changes Sunday. Today I picked him up from school and we went back to the range. Got my 30-06 figured out, gotta fine tune it a tad but it's getting there. He went through 3 more boxes of Stingers. He shoots out to 100 yards and is pretty good at that range, he has the correct hold over. He tried shooting the 200 yard target but it was a little to far lol. My wife and I are getting him a Marlin 336Y 30-30 Win. (short 12" LOP stock, 16.25" barrel) to go with his 10-22 and 870 Jr. model 20 ga. (12" LOP stock, 18.5" vent rib barrel). We're helping him start his collection early! NYH1!

NYH1,
There are a lot of people with no health or financial problems who would be very envious of your relationship with your son.
Your wife and you, and your son, are blessed.

Thanks! Our daughters used to be into shooting. Now they're 14 and 18 they have better things to do. I shot a deer with my 18 year old daughter when she was 8 or 9, she actually saw it before I did LOL. Our 14 year old will go shooting once in a while if she doesn't have anything else to do. Neither of our girls were into it like my son is. Same with the ATV's, they can take them or leave them. My son will ride the tires off them if we let him. That's understandable I guess. I hope to get all our ATV's up and running for next summer. Hopefully I'll be able to ride. It's been a long time since I swung a log over my 2000 Big Bear 400 4X4. It's my little tank. We'll see. NYH1!

PAMac,
Welcome to the Campfire Boar Hunt.
The deposit of $250 should be sent in to the Wilderness during the first week of January, with 24HCF written at the bottom of the check.
Stories about Les are always welcome and no one ever doubts the truthfulness of them. That would be because we know Les. Hope he joins us for the hunt.
The 45-70 should do some most sincere damage.
Non Fire members are most welcome, and it is one of the ways that hunters become members. Just PM the names to me so we can keep track of the number of hunters we have and so we don't over-subscribe.
Steve

Pugs,
Had you counted in from the start since you and Isaac are the co-conspirators of the Hunt.
And thanks for the PM to Rick asking him for a sticky for this thread.
