Last Two Hunts
Well, we just finished two hunts, one last week, and the other last weekend (Halloween). Greg Dailey, a boxer from Alabama, brought some friends down during the week and they scored an unbelievable trophy hog (250-300 pounds).

That weekend we had Don Latch and friends come in. They got here early on Thursday, and even though the hunt didn't officially start until Friday, we allowed them to go ahead and hunt that afternoon, since they were repeat customers. It was a slaughter. That afternoon alone they got 11 hogs between them. Their overall take for the weekend was a little hazy to me, but in Don's words, "James shot 2 pigs, Elton shot 2 pigs, Ed shot 2 pigs, Harry shot 4 pigs (on the first night there), and I shot 2 pigs, 1 doe, and 1 nice bobcat." We enjoyed comraderie and friendship all weekend, and I've never used a Weber grill so frequently in my life. We literally grilled chicken, boston butts, deer steaks, hamburgers, and sausage. By Sunday night I was sick of grilled food. I never thought I'd say those words, but I fried some deer steaks for supper that night.

The guys took off sometime during the wee hours of Monday morning. I didn't help them pack, and despite the massive homeade cooler they brought, I still doubted their ability to carry all that meat home with them, but apparently they were able to fit it all. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I'm still in touch with Don. He's sent me a lot of picture which I've put up on the website. So, James and Elton Pifer, Ed Beatson, Harry and Don Latch, I'll see you guys next year.
