Honestly fellows, I have no intentions of participating in the hog dog competitions. I am simply just wanting to meet some great folks who share common interests. Those that are on this site, tend to get to know eachother, and consider them friends. If you choose to bring some dogs to justify your trip, so be it. If you just wish to come and tag along with some great company, that is fine by me as well. There are some of the people on here that litterally hunt for a living, while others just simply hunt when they find time to "relax". I am closer to the later than the first option. At the moment I am still working on trying to get a property to have for all of us to use. It is in the early stages, so I'm not commiting to anything yet. I wanted to make sure there was an interest. It seems like we could easily get 20 people that are willing to make a vacation out of it. That suits me fine. We are not looking to have any conflicts, just a good ol' family style get together. If we can get some swine caught, it will be a bonus. That's my intentions anyway.
With the price of fuel these days, it would be nice to see a good sized caravan of Texans coming picking up folks along the way. It sure would be cool to have a big group just "relaxing". I will have my dogs there if we can get it all worked out. Someone will have to catch the sows, so why not me.
That's pretty much what the ETHD Rooter Roundup is/was.... check the egos at the gate, then come on in and have a good time. BBQ/Hunt/BS... We probably had between 40-60 people, with ~160,000 acres of forest to hunt. Could have had the same quality hunt on 1/10 of that land. I think for all involved it was more about the fellowship, than the actual hunt.
