Too bad I live in South Al now. I use to live in Buford,Ga. Right at the I95 Exit. I would go with you if I still lived up there. Helen isn't that far of a drive.

RJ, you're killing me out here on the West Coast, so far from the hills of Georgia. What a great time that would be.

 

[Supercracker]

I couldn't be very HC but, other than that, i'd definitely be in.

What kind of dates are you thinking?

 

[flyfisher76544]

Might be interested. :thumbsup:

 

[nwtradegun]

not interested 100 percent in historical correctness. only firearms no inlines. mangment area is about 10 miles north of Helen on ga. hy 75. during small game season hogs can be hunted with small game weapons ie any muzzleloading firearms. regs show it is small game only till 2-28-14.

could really be interested. Live in Marietta and shoot frequently up in Jasper. But have not heard of many hogs up this way.

From what I've seen around it seems like the pigs are more scarce up there but are much nicer looking with better, more euro looking coats. I've wanted to go spend 3 or 4 days creeping around Cohutta to try to get into one of those really nice pigs for a long time.

I've been mulling trying to arrange a winter forum get together at Ocmulgee or Horse creek for a while. They've got good porkulations and it would give the yankees a chance to come down here and thaw out.

Don't forget to bring your walker...

Well we need to figure out a spot to do this. Middle GA or somewhere that has some good pig numbers.

I got a 2nd model dragoon. That count?

Can't help remembering Maj. George Nonte's pictures of a hog hunt with a Walker replica back in the late 60's or early 70's. Basically, it amounted to chasing him round and round a big cactus or century plant till the cylinder was empty and Senor Oink finally tired out from hauling that much lead weight around! Thanks for bringing that one to mind! Good luck! You'll need it!! :wink: :thumbsup:

Oh, COLT Walker. For some reason I had the kind with four small wheels and handbrakes in mind ...

:redface:

 

[Supercracker]

No, he means the other kind of walker. :stir:

He's mocking my self inflicted injuries (as any military person would). 2 broken toes, followed closely by a serious, serious injury to my R arm having transformed me into a 116 year old man.

that's ok, I have a nice new size 11 Danner with his rear ends name on it. :slap:
