If it's the weekend of the 11th or 18th, I am 98% (just have to ask off once we know which specific weekend).
Also, my offer stands that I am willing to pick anyone up on the way.

where is this hunt being held?...Sorry if this has already been discussed. jim Hog Heaven Outfitters in North Carolina. You can find them on the web if you google it. You will also find a lengthy thread on this topic. Last post was a day or two ago. In that it will have plenty of photos...but will require a good chunk of time to read through.

Whit,
timing is essential. The later in January the better for me. Late January could be possible, and I would love to do it.
BTW: on night hunting and the special lamps/flashlights you use; are there any mounts on them (or can be used with them) that can attach to a picatinny rail? My gun has a nice picatinny under the barrel. The lamp needs to clear the muzzle though.

Mr. Mike, I am sure you already are aware of this, I just wanted to throw it out there. The added weight of the light is probably going to change the POI of hunting rig. I have been debating on setting up a light on “a” rig but have hesitated for that reason.
I know the change could be minimal, I have just noticed my TC setups changing POI when I put a new custom set of wood on them. FWIW

They are designed to clamp on to a barrel or an existing optic. I have used them fairly extensively now and have not had any issues with POI change as a result of the added weight. I try to shoot the same way as I always do with regards to grip tension. Clamp it on and go, not an issue.....
I will try to post up tentative dates later this morning.

Let me know, Whit, if your outfitter has some openings during the early spring as well. I will be stateside in March or April most likely. As well as in mid-November this year.

I was hoping he had a later slot in the month of January, but it just wasn't the case. I will find out about the spring. In any case, we can add ourselves on to any group hunt that is already booked, I would think.

Gentlemen, if you intend on attending/participating in the group hog hunt in January, please PM me so that I can give you some details and instructions. Going through this thread, I count the following that plan to attend:
-Seasons44 -Boot -Kingfisher -SBhunter -Pamlicomike
Am I missing anyone?
Oh, and Franchise, if you can't hunt this time around, would you at the very least come down so that we could meet and perhaps break bread?

Original post doesn't mention when, where or if all are invited or private party? Know i'm late now but, may have been interesting? Steve Sorry, Steve! There was another thread about this, and this one was the follow-up. We are hunting in January (10, 11, 12th I believe) in Johnston County, North Carolina at Hog Heaven Outfitters. It's a 3-day (actually hunting at night exclusively -- well, you'll go out on a stand in the late afternoon), and hunting lights will be provided by the outfitter. The cost is $700.00 per person, which includes food and lodging. This cost allows you to kill up to two hogs, but there are no guarantees as it is a free-ranging hunt on 2,000 acres. Everyone here is welcome! Gentlemen, if you plan to attend, please contact me via PM. Thank you!

Just kidding! Being that it will be in January, and the middle of winter, there is a good chance that you shoot a hog with daylight to spare. That said, I have shot them there as late as 2:00 in the morning, and the lights we use are quite effective even out to 100 yards (with a handgun). Typically, your shot could be anywhere from 20 to 60 yards. They will put you where you are most comfortable.

I was looking at the testimonials on the hog heaven website...man this is going to be great.
Not sure if i mentioned this in the forum but I am hoping to bring along a camera man to do some filming. I figure we need every missed hog documented :-)
