Maybe this isn't the place for this...was thinking we maybe should have a specific thread to go over the details...Is there a meeting time Thursday or are we just showing up and getting in stand (I think "in stand" is one of my favorite phrases)?

I am all in guys and look foward to January!
SB, I will be down there late morning to early afternoon on thursday, My Recomendation is get through DC early if you take 95, It can be a royal pain in the ass.
When I went down I got settled and took a few shots at the range and relaxed, got into the woods around 330 or so,
Simple, Elegant, but always Approachable

Lol, Honestly the best thing I did coming back from Hog Heaven was I brought a Food Saver, The vacum Packing Machine, And kept the pigs quatered on ice, vacumed packed. Took a little bit of time but is was fast with two people.
I will be doing this again, so if anybody is tight on space or cooler space this helps. Will help do it for anybody who needs it

Good day A friend of mine shot a boar yesterday with a rifle but after seeing that plating them things have on their shoulders I got thinking my JDJ might be the ticket on these pigs. WOW was all I could say. What are the calibers you guys are using? I was considering my 375JDJ and 30-30. Another questions to those that have been there. Anything for my girlfriend to do while I'm hunting?Assuming we can make it . Although she likes hunting a bit she has no desire to shoot a hog. Mike

What kind of loads would you be using in the 30/30 for these hogs? I've never loaded for mine, come to think of it I've only put a few factory loads down the barrel to try it. Other than that I've never used it. I've always used my 375JDJ. Mike Probally going to use one of my contenders in 45-70 or 30-30.

Any word on when the deposit is due? Sorry so delinquent. The deposit is due sooner rather than later. I confirmed the dates yesterday, and we need to lock it in with a deposit. Mine went out yesterday.

If it was in the early summer or spring, there would be more to do. Being that it will be January, it will be pretty cold. If you don't want to sour her to the whole experience, I would taker at a nicer time of year. JMHO.

Thanks but Cold isn't the issue here because we sit in -25c temps here waiting for deer. She just has no desire to hunt hogs and was wondering what else she could do. Mike

Mike It's an issue because the cabin isn't insulated. It's that moist cold that I personally find to be worse than having snow on the ground. Not trying discourage her.
