First hunt with Ray Hammond

[Lin Rhea]

That's right. I hope it's the first of many more.

  I will have to get back with you, but for now, I'll let you see an interesting picture of Wyatt puttin a sneak on some piggies. I got a real kick out of it. I cant believe I had the presence of mind to take a picture during it all.

 

I have some more, but I'm playing catch up and will post more later. Lin

Cool beans man!  I can't wait for the rest of the story.  Ray is good people, that's for sure!

[Biggie Hoffman]

Yep. I'm booked to hunt with Ray in a few weeks too. I'm anxious to see some new ground!

I'm sorry it took so long. I just got in,

  Ray invited myself and Wyatt down for the weekend to give us a chance to try for a hog. This was Wyatt's first time to use his new bow. He's been practicing most of the Summer and he and I still need more. Wyatt just turned 14 and his draw is about 25 inches. His bow is a Soaring Eagle 43 @ 28. It shoots great.

  The weekend was great. I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed it. I know we've made friends in Ray and his right hand man, Mike (Squirrel Bait) Mitchum. Mike really took to Wyatt and helped him a lot with his stalking skills. I owe them my thanks.

 Here are a few more pics of the stay.

This place is still in a wild and uncut condition. We actually heard a tree fall on it's own the first day.

The sun is coming up nicely.
 

Wyatt's first trad kill and an effort to reduce the Armadillo population. You'd of thought he'd taken a trophy buck!
 

 I'm not trying to string this out guys. I'll post some more tomorrow. I have to get some sleep. Lin
