We all had another great time at the Alexacarri Plantation. Tim Beach invited Chris Cade, Wade, and myself along with his good friend Gary and everybodies son's and daughter's and grandson in my case for a hog hunt over the Fourth of July weekend. It was in the high nineties and nice and sweaty but the kids and adults had a ball.
All the kids got their first hog with Tim's daughter, Carrie getting two with a crossbow. For the rest of us it was a gun hunt. All total there were 12 hogs taken. I'm sure Wade, Chris, Gary and Tim have some more pictures.
Thanks again, Tim.

What?!?! Didn't they let you play bumper cars with the piggies? You must have hated using a rifle when perfectly good pickups were everywhere!
Glad the kids had a great time, great memories they will always carry around with them in the years to come. Good job.

Sounds and looks like a great way to spend the 4th! Thanks for the pics and sharing Eddie!

Sounds like fun if the temps was 50 deg cooler. ;D Lots of hog meat for the freezers. Your grandson looks like a real sniper, Eddie. 8)

Looks like a great time.

Eddie looks like y'all had a great time!! Love to see those young kids out hunting and taking game. Those pics of your grandson are keepsakes for sure. Congratulations to the kids and the grow ups as well. You're a good man taking him hunting. That's something I never got to do with my granddad. Sure wish I had. Good for you and your grandson and someday for his grand children.
PS.... It was 78 this evening and driving home with the windows down from a movie we got a chill...

Hey Cowboy, I got my share of mosquito and chigger bites crawling through the palmettos and thorns looking for blood trails. ;D
Cipriano; You're right, the Grandson had a big grin that made me real happy all the way home.

But...but...but...girls can't hunt! >:D
Piggies would beg to differ, hehehe! Those are some very satisfied looking young ladies. Must have been a great time.
-
good job Eddie.looks like a great time was had by all.
-
Great pictures Eddie and Wade. Glad everyone got at least one. Good to see the youngins having a good time. The smiles tell it all.

Super ! You guys are doing things right with them youngsters. ' Frank

Hate that me and Cody couldn't make it down this time, would've loved to have been there. Always have a great time down there. Looks like the pigs were out despite the heat.
-
Wow Eddie, looks like fun. Hogs in daylight though??? That'd be new for me.
George

I wish you and Cody could have made it. Wade took your title away with his keen marksmanship ;D.
George; I drove up on hogs at a feeder at 1PM, 100dgs. Chris has a picture with about 30 under his stand, also.

I wish you and Cody could have made it. Wade took your title away with his keen marksmanship ;D.
I believe you probably got both of us put together beat if you tallied up the actual stats. ;D
-
I was being sarcastic, ;D He missed with every gun he had. :'(
-
Great pictures, looks like the kids had a great time.

That's not completely true Eddie. After Kate shot her pig I had to finish it off with my pistol. Didn't miss that one at least. Of course the range was abt 3 feet. Lol.
And you didn't mention I only brought 2 open site guns. And one was black powder.
And it i hadnt unloaded chrises AR on that flat out running hog that kate clipped my shot total wouldnt have been as high :)..... But all things considered.....It does make for a good laugh tho so lll take the title and the ribbing :)
Really proud of my girl though. She took her pig at abt 75 yds off a set of shooting sticks while standing.
It was a great hunt. Amazing. Thanks again to Tim for everything. If anyone is considering a pig hunt his place is where to go. It is covered up in pigs and his place is amazing. Setup is perfect. House and location are beautiful.
Really glad I got a chance to go

Hey! I remember those girls at the Tennessee Classic! Good job, ladies! If you get this, please send me a copy of the pics you took of us at Twin Oaks. I'd like to include in my album!
Like the choices in arms: AR-15's and a nice Ruger No. 1, Eddie.

Eddie, I was talkin' about missing too. ;D ;D

Just getting back from Seattle and wanted to post pics of Carri's first two trophies. She has gradually worked her way up to hunting and performed well. She took three shots and we got two pigs with her crossbow.

-
Great job, Carri!
-
Oh man, how cool! Congratulations Carri and Tim. 8)
Ditto :)
Eddie this post has really got me thinking. My dad nor my father-in-law takes Diego or the girls fishing or hunting. I sure wish they did. The best thing you could do with that boy.

Cip;
I never did with my Dad or Grandfather. I'm proud to take him whenever he wants to go with me. he's already telling me which one of my guns he wants to use. ???
-
Well done all 8) wade did you take some of that wine you made :)
-
never did get around to posting some of the pics of the hogs i took while at alexacarrie. tim is definitely the host with the most! i took both of these with a 1863 sharps in .54 cal. both hogs flipped over and never took a step after the 475gr bullet hit home.
-
I remember that first one, I had him dead at 10 yards the afternoon before, till the AR jammed on me.
