Randy Bumpers (Duck Creek Crew)

Let me begin by saying THANK YOU to txhogsanddogs, Wynn, Senna, Brandon, Wesley, and Graham for having us out to hunt. Hunting this tournament was truly a great experience for Curtis and I. It is not often that you get the opportunity to hunt with GREAT PEOPLE, exceptional weather (scent conditions to die for) good land, and good dogs. All Team Members were respectful and collaborative. Each Team Member contributed something unique to enhance the experience. The most fun and physically demanding hunt for me to date. Legging/Tying hogs (and wrestling with dogs) on steep wet creek banks may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but I loved every minute of it. Literally couldn't wipe the smile off my face! Dogs sounded AWESOME down in those bottoms. Voices carried better than ever. We are pleasure hunters for the most part. This weekend validated a few things for me.

Tournaments can be fun when they are approached with the correct mindset.

Hog Hunting at night sucks. JMO.

Each Bay and Hog/group of hogs presents a unique set of challenges. You can do everything right and miss em. You can do everything wrong and catch em.
