D2's 1st Groundhog Competition of the season....April 10th
« on: March 24, 2010, 02:38:27 AM »
As I promised to my District and to all other members that wish to join in on the hunt, we will be having 2 groundhog hunts this spring into summer...with a possibility of a mid-late summer hunt as well...This is an ANNUAL HUNT...It will be held every 2nd weekend of April that I am in office as District 2 Coordinator, so that everyone can plan on doing it WELL in advance(trying to up partcipation here boys with the annual events)

-All PA state regulations apply
-One day hunt (Saturday April, 10th ONLY)
-One(1)pt per groundhog taken, pictures with special pose to be entered into picture with hog, given out the night before on the 9th
-Bragging rights only for the crown of D2 early hog hunt champion

The next hunt i'm thinking on having the hogs be measured from nose to tail as we did last yr in the statewide groundhog hunt, just to mix it up a bit

*Look ahead gentlemen at the schedule of events for D2...we're trying something different this yr with annual events...hope to see many people attend our events from ANY district...there is a post "Tentative D2 schedule up to July" on this board, please check it out! *

I love early season hog hunting. I will harvest more in the woods in early april than in the fields. I will have to stay motivated for this. April 11th is my birthday, so being crowned champion will make it all better.   ;D

Now hold on guys, did we forget about Old Muttbuster and his whistle pig skills? Perhaps I will take the crown. Did you even think about that? Looks like I'm going to have to teach ya'll a lesson. It's not too late to gracefully back out and maintain your pride. I would hate to get beat by an old fart on oxygen like me. LOL LOL LOL. I broke a rib from laughing so hard just thinking about how many hogs I will kill. HAHAHAHAHA. Hey CS, I'm selling my bike since it's not to safe to ride with an oxygen bomb strapped to my side. I want to buy a small fishing boat instead. If you know anyone looking for a great bike let me know.

Sixteen foot Gas and trolling motor with trailer. I would like to find something in good reliable condition. I have to have one that will start when I need it to because rowing is not an option. As far as the Hog killin program goes, I have the key to the Pearly Gates to Hog Heaven. Not only do I have Barney, I have a new secret weapon to introduce to the Hog population. All I need now is the hogs. I'm ready to rip like an old pair of pants. LOL
