Upcoming Active Duty Free Hog Hunts Just wanted to put out that in a couple of months I will be offering free hog hunts to Active Duty Military. I got permission from my lease manager to do one or two per month. They will be alllowed to take one hog, any size. You can bow or gun hunt. I will let anyone without a gun, borrow my AR-15. I will guide them and every now and then someone else might take a hunt or two for me. I am working on maybe a free place to stay and free food. This place is north of Houston a couple miles from Splendora. It is a 10,000 acre lease. It is about 2 hours from Fort Polk. For those who would like, the lease manager might be able to do a dog hunt every now and then. I hope to have this up and running after Thansgiving. I know I will get a lot of responses and I'll put them in order of recieved. Right now, I am just getting a feeling of who might be interested.

Thats a grand gesture Bulldawg, if you still have this going after December, I know a couple guys currently in Iraq that have been asking about a hog hunt.
thank you for your support of our military forces

Hey Bulldawg! Thank you very much for setting this up! I can remember missing a hunting season or two by virtue of being overseas, but I bet many of the current AD guys will be very grateful for your efforts.
Me fale English? That's unpossible!

Gordon, I bet you actually were trying to convince this fella you were some kind of psychic, lol. Now that my life has a degree or normalcy I should be a lil more regular back on the forum now, and I am sure that anyone who knows me will not be the least bit surprised to hear that bow season is out for me eventhough I scheduled my shoulder surgery as early as possible to heal, but Monday I tore a tendon in my finger and it is now permanently bent forward about 60 degrees until I get it cut on. I am wondering if I am going to be the first confirmed case of someone addicted to orthopedic surgeries...

Thanks for all the interest. I am still working on all the details. I was offered another 25,000 acres to use also, so I am up to 35,000 acres right now. My lease manager told me that one of the COE higher ups wants to pitch in some land opportunities, so I might have a lot more land to use than the original 35,000 acres I have.
I am working on the paperwork to be a non-profit to get some sponsors and possibly some grants. At the very least I can do what I have already set out to do.
I am looking to start the free hunts somewhere around the middle of December. Depending on how many deer I kill, I might have one tag left for a deer to give away in December.
More to come as I get things wrapped up.

Bulldawg, I was one of the interested folks, and still am. But if you need any help...and it doesn't matter what kind of help, I'd love to offer my services. I just enjoy being outdoors and would love the opportunity to help out.
Just figured I'd throw it out.
HAPPY HUNTING
