Texas Afterburn-Hog hunt(A change in dates)

Littlefeather · April 04, 2007, 05:28:00 PM

Charlie Lamb and I are talking about hosting a second Texas Sweat type hunt in July. We are looking at doing a 5 day hunt for a large group. This would be very similar to Texas Sweat. I'm currently negotiating 96 sections to host the hunt on. Javelina and hogs both! July is hot so Charlie and I are choosing to hunt hogs at night. Javi's are not legal at night but you could hunt them during the mornings. This thread is just to test the waters to see who would like to attend if we make this hunt reality. Thanks for looking! $175 per day. CK

Curtis, I would love to get in on that. Keep me in mind. I need about a month notice to set the time off. Thanks.

Donald

It will be great to meet some of you guys.

I'm interested, didn't get to make the one last year but hopefully circumstances will be different if it happens again this year.

KyleAllen · April 04, 2007, 09:54:00 PM

hmm july....nothing better to do...sounds like a blast!!!

If not working on a storm I'd hit that.

I think the time about 10 days before the full moon is best. Moon is waxing (getting bigger) and is about 3/4 sized. The big plus is that it is up high at sunset and one can hunt the first part of the night. If you wait till the actual full moon, the moon rises at sunset and it is real dark for a couple hours till it gets high enough to shine down. Plus it comes up almost an hour later each night. Keep us posted.

Charlie Lamb · April 04, 2007, 10:28:00 PM

Yep!! CK and I have been woolin this one around for a while and I think he's done hit the mother load of a hog and javie ranch.

Should be fun even if it's a little hot. If I can take it, anyone can.

I hate being poor at times like this. lol This will be a blast for the fortunates who get in on it.

Billy · April 04, 2007, 11:20:00 PM

not to assume here....
what are the limits on a hunt like this? one a nite, 2 for the trip?
ya know how the "treasury secretary" will be addin and subtractin on how much per pound :eek:
she's jokingly got me up to about $12 per pound for one deer a year..but does want me to shoot a pig or cow (she won't eat deer!! :rolleyes: )even if it tastes like chicken er, uh, i mean steak

i'd face the music tho...

CK, I was talking with Mark Horne last night (guess what I've got coming :D ) and he mentioned you were trying to get in on a ranch out near Odessa that was just overrun with hogs... this wouldn't be it, would it?

From the sounds of things it'd be a fantastic hunt and I don't think you'll have problems filling up the hunt!
My wife would kill me if I left her alone 9months pregnant!! You'll be the first guy I call when I get "cleared" for travel!

Littlefeather · April 05, 2007, 08:15:00 AM

Well, that would make 4 hunters confirmed. Several guys that I'd like to meet too!

Yes Jeremy, this would be the same ranch that Mark spoke about. It looks like I'll head out there to scout and hunt very soon. Scout 60,000 acres? Yea right!

Billy, I work with the land owners on what the limits will be but I know for certain that this would be a no limit hog hunt. Kill all you can! Generally I set a one javelina per person limit but this place may handle more. Just gotta check things out before I go too far.

I may also offer a three day hunt on this same deal for the guys who can only encompass a weekend. CK

Is there airconditioning???? Pending dates it might work Curtis.

JC · April 05, 2007, 09:58:00 AM

Would love to CK but the bear hunt with Tom, Tippit, and Bob Walker in June and Vance's in Sept. wipes out the vacation...sure hate to miss out on hunt with you guys

Bring yer nomex underwear if ya go boys, Texas in July is plumb flammable!

tippit · April 05, 2007, 10:01:00 AM

If I wasn't just getting back from bear hunting July 1st, I'd be there. Or if my wife would like to go back to S Carolina in July with her horse...hmmmm she did say something about liking to rent a farm down there??? Doc

tippit · April 05, 2007, 10:04:00 AM

JC, Looks like we both had the same thoughts. You could just jump on a plane to Texas and then head home. Heck we'd be all packed

Doc

JC · April 05, 2007, 10:23:00 AM

Don't tempt me Doc, it wouldn't take much to push me over the edge on this hunt. Heck, a feller can always find another job, right?

hormoan · April 05, 2007, 11:05:00 AM

I wanna go, I wanna go, thats theres darn near winey!

If it all works out I'll need a riding partner. As I'm a driven from SW MI!

Granted ya can put up with me again Curtis!

Guru · April 05, 2007, 11:10:00 AM

Looks like another good one I'll miss out on.....

I'm sure it'll be a great experience for all involved!

Littlefeather · April 05, 2007, 11:23:00 AM

Looks like we got ourselves a hunt! I still have to sew things up on my end. I don't want to go too far before I get all the other ducks in a row.

Stinson twice in one year? Lord help us! You could bring your Son this time Dave. CK

coaltroll · April 05, 2007, 12:02:00 PM

If there is still room for more I would really like to get in on this, got the ok from the accountant (wife) will just need to arrange the time off at work once I know for sure of the exact dates. Always wanted to hunt hog so I would be willing to give up a weeks vacation from my elk hunt for the new experience and a chance to meet a few tradgangers.

robtattoo · April 05, 2007, 12:43:00 PM

Whew! Well, that's work started on the road-bridge from Yorksire to Texas. A few more hours & I'll be able to drive accross & not have to miss hunts like this!
