Title: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on March 30, 2011, 07:21:32 pm I have a commercial hunting opperation in Coalgate Oklahoma. We are thinking about hosting a big event containing a hog hunting tournament, a bay pen competition, vendor/buy and sale area, and a live concert. We wanted to get some feedback and input on peoples interest. Would like to hold the event in June.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: TJR89 on March 30, 2011, 09:07:50 pm sounds fun but it will be hellacious kind of hot at that time of year!!!
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: hvacman on March 30, 2011, 09:09:06 pm a buddy of mine hunts there he said there was no shortage of hogs on the place.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on March 30, 2011, 10:03:06 pm I know the heat could be a factor. Just worried about getting advertising and everything in place earlier than June. Also trying to stimulate our summer slow times.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: hvacman on March 30, 2011, 10:51:16 pm well i may get fired but i would be there not competing but i would be there
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: sgt.davis on March 31, 2011, 01:16:36 am Sounds like a good time and id try and make it but a person will cook his a$$ off in June.

Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on March 31, 2011, 08:24:18 am I should know some dates by the end of the weekend. Gonna do my best to see if we can pull it off in May. Just need time to advertise is the deal. That would still give us the whole month of April to promote and get ready.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Heaven Sent Kennel on March 31, 2011, 09:46:59 am I would definitely make it. If you could do some of the events of an evening the heat shouldn't be 2 horrible. Keep the info coming
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on March 31, 2011, 04:24:07 pm Looks like we will definately try to have it the end of May. And it will be mainly a night hunt. More updates coming.

May 20 is too close for me to have that ready. For sure have a Dog hunt competition and a buy sale trade area and much more. Going to be a fun time.

Just post your dates.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 07, 2011, 10:51:02 pm 2011 HAM JAM Bowsafari Ranch Coalgate Oklahoma May 24th-28th Ok guys here is the plan. I wanted to include a bay pen competition but I don't think I will have time to get that together unless someone has a portable pen setup that we can use or rent. I don't have time to build what we need to have a quality event like I want. Plus gathering enough good hogs in my area on this short of notice could be tough also. But we do have an awesome event planned even if we don't get the bay pen figured out. Here is the event plan. I have held a tree stand hog tournament for 3 years now and it is held in my high fence area. We will start this on May 24th. 10 entries per day for 4 days. $200 per entry and you can enter 1 or all 4 days if you want. The hunter that kills the hog weighing closest to the weight we choose the week before the contest will win. Prizes will be $cash$ and other items that we will also announce the week before the tournament ( example: guns, feeders, hunting gear,etc.). Other ways to win are daily $20 buy ins for a hog that has a certain color ear tag per day, winner gets $100 per day for that hog if all 10 guys buy in. Lots of fun. Then on Friday all dog hunt competitors will show up in person at the ranch by noon to enter in the competition. This is a 4 man $200 entry fee event. You will go to your hunting ground and hunt and return the following day (Saturday) by noon to weigh in your catch. There will be 2 first place prizes. Largest hog will pay $1000 cash, the team with the most hogs will also get a prize but it is not decided just yet. Saturday is the main event. All day long fun. Starting that morning will be the Traders market which will be $20 a spot for anyone and/or vendors that want to buy /sell/or trade any dogs,hunting gear, mules, etc..., also we will have a BBQ competition, the Fetch and Fish 5000 gallon aquarium will be doing dog demonstrations for the whole family, the weigh-in for the dog hunting contest, a 3D archery competition, kids events, food and drink, the finals of the tree stand tournament, and Saturday evening will be a 2 band live concert featuring The Tildon Gilliam Band from Shreveport La. and another band from Oklahoma. Good ol country music. So bring your covered tent and umbrellas and a good lawn chair and hang out all day with us. More info coming soon!! Call 580-310-2721 Keith West

Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 11, 2011, 07:27:51 pm Any vendors?
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: bayed hard hog dogs on April 11, 2011, 08:25:42 pm Hey what are the rules? Anywhere in oklahoma/texas? No traped hogs what?
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 12, 2011, 07:18:50 am Yes, no trapped hogs. We are working on an idea to keep it fair. And yes as long as you can get to your hunting ground from here after you enter and be back by noon the next day you can hunt whereever. Hogs must be kept alive. No dead hogs will be weighed. Will try and get the rules all together and post them tonight. We just want to have a fun and fair competition. And that may mean we need to send a spotter with every team like they do a coon hunt. That was suggested to me but may have to bring in a polygraff guy.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: oklahoma hogger on April 13, 2011, 07:51:18 pm Not trying to mess up anyones chances of entering but isnt it illegal to transport hogs over the state line?
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 13, 2011, 08:00:53 pm Yes it is illegal. But there are quite a few Oklahoma boys on this website. Most people that enter the contest will have to have a hunting spot fairly close to us.
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 15, 2011, 11:33:52 am Ok guys we are working on the rule sheet today. Should have them posted tonight I hope. Already have possibly 20 teams going to enter. Going to be a great time!
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: bayed hard hog dogs on April 15, 2011, 12:07:26 pm get them up and me and my guys will try to make it .
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Catch an Tie 2 on April 15, 2011, 05:18:50 pm ill try an go keep us posted
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: Bowsafari on April 19, 2011, 10:15:55 am Ok fellas, the rules are coming together. I know I promised them a couple days ago but we just aren't quite done with them. I am on it. Got lots of teams that tell me they want in. Give me a call @580-310-2721 if you have any questions at all. Thanks guys we hope to see you soon and have an awesome event. Keith West
Title: Re: SE Oklahoma Hog Event Post by: BRS on October 18, 2011, 06:29:21 pm are you guys putting one on anytime soon
