I have upgraded to alpha so selling my Garmin 320 and all my collars. I hunted with the Garmin and 3 collars last night and all worked perfect. I will hunt with the other three tonight and make sure they work perfect as well. The dc50 is brandnew. One of the dc30 was a replacement I got and have only used a few times. They rest have been used but nothing wrong with them. I have all the chargers, the Garmin case, and long range.  Best to do is to text from 8-5 and can take calls after. Located in Devine, tx. 210-275-8389. martinsu25@yahoo.com

The gun is sold.  Still have a pulsar digisight N550 that i have looked through about a hand full of times and its never even been mounted on a gun.  I paid $1450 at the time for it and i know you can now get one for about $1250 with tax so my asking price is reduced to $800.  It actually works pretty dang good its just never got used.  I have other ones already set up so need for this one.  Can Send pictures  My cell is 210-275-8389.  my email is martinsu25@yahoo.com.  I don't check email and as much as i miss this site i don't have time for any hunting forums anymore between work and well hunting so the best way to reach me is by text or call after 5pm.  I am in Devine, TX.

I have my eyes on a new toy so i have decided to let go of a couple things i don't use (actually i have never once used).  i have a smith wesson whisper/300 blackout with a nikon scope.  Have around $1350 in it and asking $900.  Also have a pulsar digisight N550 that i have looked through about a hand full of times and its never even been mounted on a gun.  I paid $1450 at the time for it and i know you can now get one for about $1250 with tax so my asking price is $900.  It actually works pretty dang good its just never got used.  I have other ones already set up so need for this one.  I have pictures of the blackout but none of the night vision at this moment but i will have some and can send by this eve.  My cell is 210-275-8389.  my email is martinsu25@yahoo.com.  I don't check email and as much as i miss this site i don't have time for any hunting forums anymore between work and well hunting so the best way to reach me is by text or call after 5pm.  I am in Devine, TX.  

Owner found.

Thanks

The devine Vet clinic just called me and they have a dog that was brought to them this morning.  He has a GPS tracking unit on and he has micro chip as well, however the micro chip is not reading correctly.  If someone lost a dog between Devine and Jourdanton last night please call the Devine Vet clinic.  Im not posting the type of dog it is just so that ownership can be proven.

Thanks again to all that hunted, all that helped at the weigh in, all our sponsors/donations(the payouts and prizes were great), and you other board of directors. It takes a lot of time and work to put this hunt on and it's all volunteer work that makes it happen.

I hope everyone had a safe trip home and I can't wait till next year.

We had 18,308 pounds cross the scales today. Thank you to everyone who came out to support TDHA.

we had 35 sign up through pay pal.  We normally have anywhere from 10 to 20 sign up in person.  My personal goal every year is 40 teams and i am pretty sure we will get there.  All of the BOD's including me will be in route to Halletsville so probably won't repost till sunday after teams have weighed in.  i will try my best to find time to snap pictures in the madness. 

Thanks for all that have signed up and good luck to all of you as well. 

Thanks for the replies. 

All thanks go to Dave and Susie Mason (Mr. Douglas Mason's brother and sister in law).  They picked them and designed them.

Also every single one of these buckles was paid for by sponsorships/donations to TDHA for this hunt. 

sorry i didn't get this posted sooner guys.  Was out working cattle yesterday evening till late.  We had some clitches with Pay Pal and just a lot of request for us to extend.  So there you have it. 

Also know that someone will be in Halletsville accepting sign up starting at 10am tomorrow.  We are on track for another good number of teams this year so we are excited about that. 

Dewalt i have ya'lls entry right in front of me if you want to add someone just text me name and hunting license number.

Just about everything is the same as last year.  one of the main things we are changing is if you are bringing in more then 4 hogs as a donation to TDHA you DO NOT have to have them seperated.  We will weigh all of the pigs and put down your biggest 4 for the contest.  However, if you have a trailer full of hogs and are keeping some back for yourself and turning in 4 to contest please try and have them seperated when you get to weigh in.  We will only weigh the 4 hogs you want turned in for the contest.  This is just to help reduce the amount of time we use to weigh in each team, and it is less stress on the pigs. 

Also i had a call this morning asking me a question.  Someone wanted to know if they could set traps and bring in trapped hogs as a DONATION to TDHA.  The answer is yes we will except strickly donated hogs.  last year we had donated pigs outside of the contest as well.     

It was same last year!

How many teams have signed up

I'll only state teams that have signed up and paid through paypal and verified funds which is 15 (I'm the treasurer for TDHA and a bank officer so I don't count anything until funds have cleared!!!).  I cant remember right off hand but we had 40+ last year, and my personal goal is that it at least gets close to that again.   We have more prizes to give this year to our hunters but we hope for lots of hunters because that means our payouts stay big like they are every year.  We are able to pay big and still keep money back for lobbying expenses in Austin becuase we work very hard to run down sponsorships/donations. 

12 buckles, Pelican coolers, streamlight flash lights, tons of knives, gundogsupply.com gift cards, Wildboar USA supplies, Garmin/tritronics, game guard camo, dog food, and that list can go on for awhile.   

Don't forget to bring the wives and kids out sunday as we will have 60+ vendors there selling items.  Everything under the sun from Gun Suppliers to Scentsy Reps.   

Thanks again to all,
Matt Martinez
