Update on Tioga Hunt
« on: December 22, 2003, 01:32:51 AM »
A little update on the hunt. We arrived there Friday afternoon and got all settled in, the people there were all great.  Saturday morning we headed out to hunt. A lot of walking up and down the mountains, we were stalking the animals and trying for some shots. The woods are thick in some spots there, and the snow was about 8 inches to a foot deep. It snowed all day during the hunt. First we saw a herd of Boar running around and my buddy tried to get a shot at one but could not get a clear shot with his Ruger Redhawk 44 MAG. So we went scouting again and a nice Fallow deer was about 150 yards away in some thick wooded area, I stalked within 75 yards and got a Simi clear shot off with my Encore pistol in 30-06. Got my Fallow. :)  The guide headed back to the lodge area to get the 4 wheeler to get the deer out of the woods when he called back to the other guide that a Black Hawaiian Ram was about 200 yards from where we where, and my son and I headed toward the guide so my son could get his Ram. My son worked into position and took a 60 to 70 yard shot and got his Ram with a Marlin lever action 44 MAG. Again the guide set off to get the 4 wheeler and came back about 40 minutes later and took out the Fallow deer and Hawaiian Ram. There were some other hunters at the bottom of the hill that were after boar and they pushed a big Boar up to us and my friend set out after it with his Ruger Redhawk. He got set up and waited for the boar to show up. The boar had got by us without seeing it, my son spotted it and my friend set out after it. My buddy got set up after he saw the way the boar was heading and the boar got within 40 yards and my buddy, he took his shot and got his boar. One thing that was nice is my son brought along his video cam and we got all three hunts on film. Last night we got home and had some of the boar and it was great eating. The Ram was nice with a full curl, the Fallow deer was not a real big one, it had 11 points and real tall rack and the boar weight in the 250 to 270 area. The lodge was nice and the people there were great. I would recommend it to anyone and would be great for kids.

Sounds like a great time!  Now where were you hunting?  Two handgun and a lever gun hunt.  Sounds like a blast.

What were the costs involved and a contact number? Do they have any way of handling handicapped hunters?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I just did not check out this area for a while. They can answer all your questions. I am sure they can handle handicapped hunters. Here is there web page.  http://members.tripod.com/petegee/

My 12 year old son, a friend and I hunted there this April.  I shot a nice eating boar, my son shot a young Texas Dall ram and the other guy shot a rocky mountan ram.  The food was very good, the lodging adequate and they butchering of the meat was very well done.  The staff was great!!  I think they are a little pricey but fair.  we will be going back
