Re: The Hijack Zone - Zombies Welcome
HIJACK!!
Went hog hunting on Thursday at Tiger Island Outfitters in Cedar Key with my buddy Gary. We had an absolute ball! A great time with great people. Our guide Ken knew his stuff and the owner, Crichton Allen, is a super guy. Many thanks to them! I highly recommend Tiger Island Outfitters if you want to get some hogs and have a great time.
To sum up the experience? it was like a mini-safari!
Quite frankly, Gary and I had been expecting a pure ?put and take? approach for this hunt. That is, we figured that we?d be put into a blind near a feeder and just wait for pigs to come to the trough. But we were both VERY pleased that it turned out to be completely different. The experience greatly EXCEEDED our expectations! We found & followed animals with an electric golf cart, then got out and did the spot & stalk thing to bring ?em down. Instead of a Land Rover and warthogs, it was golf carts and feral pigs. Way cool!
There were some technical issues? like my eyeglasses breaking as soon as we arrived? and a couple of camea failures? but those minor irritations meant nothing in the end. I took down 2 pigs in the first 40 minutes, then we took a 1/2 hour break. Went back and within 20 minutes I had killed my 3rd pig and "tagged out" for the trip. Awesome! My first pig was a sow of about 55 pounds, the second was a 114 boar and the third was a 75 pound sow.
After completing our hunt, we went to Coconuts for a lobster dinner with a gorgeous sunset overlooking the Gulf. Very nice.
A few photos and a short video below ? there are plenty more.
We ended up with about 65 pounds of pork apiece!
