Everyone...
I've known Corey for the last 17 years... and he is truly speaking from the heart. I have been there with him and his boys since they could walk, while still in diapers. (what a mess)
Anyways... He and I have tried to take every opportunity possible to include our kids, their friends, and any others... in all of our hunting trips. I have been blessed by a very close friend, who allows me to manage his land for him... plus, I get to hunt it. As such, I have tried to include Corey and all the kids, when I could. Since it is not my personal property, it is kind of hard to take more of them out... trust me, we really would like to.
I was fortunate enough to have some free time...which actually means - my schedule and Corey's were able to match up. I invited him and his boys, plus a couple of their friends from school out to go pig hunting. We had 6 teenage boys and my two girls(8 and 1)... it was a blast. All of the boys had an opportunity to shoot at pigs. Two of them actually where able to make good shots on a 150+lb boar and a 100+lb sow. Not to mention... Corey was able to take, what looked like a monster in the scope, a very nice.... um.... piglet.
Most of all... the kids had a great time. They still bug us when the next trip will be. A couple have mentioned how they would like to bring a different friend so they can have some fun also.
Now, we have all heard about how Texas if over run with pigs. But, seems some folks want to monopolize off the little terrorizer's of the land. If they are a problem on your property... then please allow us the opportunity to bring some kids out to experience the hunt.
We do not need anything fancy.. just some access to land where the piggies are a problem. We have and always will, leave the area we hunt, cleaner than we found it. It is something we have always done and have taught the kids. We do not necessarily need a place with lodging on it... most of the kids enjoy camping... and a good camp fire... specially around dinner time.
Thank you all for checking out the post.
Have a great hunting season...
