Don't waste your time. There will be 1000 people and 10000 dogs all 3 days as I learned last year. Beware of the jerks who drive around with catchdogs on top of the truck and turn em loose on your bays and get your hog and gone before you make it to the bay. Happened a lot this past year.

Like WildLifeCorey said its gets worse every year more and more people flood in to the place... heard last year from a couple guys that went that run Garmin tracking systems that so many people were down there they had a hard time keeping up wit there dog because of the bleed over from everyone else's systems

Thanks for all the info

I was suppose to have a job at home where I can be home with them every night and see my son more than once a month. If the offer is still open that would be great but if not no hard feelings and I apoligize again and if you could PM me your number again, Thanks

Wow that's an old thread. I hunted the last hunt when international paper employees lost it in June 24 06 ( my daughters b-day) That place is beautiful lots of hogs back then I used to work right up the rd at Bostick they made sure hogs stayed around
