Wild boar hunters Steve
Orgel and his 12 year-old son
Spencer (Scarsdale, NY - ph: 914-723-4531 - e-mail: austernandpaul@msn.com)
bagged a wild hog each during an afternoon of wild boar hunting
with Ron's Guide Service on July 7, 2003. They hunted the sugar
cane fields in the town of Lakeport. They also bass fished for
2 half days with Cap'n Ron on the afternoon of July 6 and the
morning of July 7th. They caught 27 bass up to 3 1/2 lbs using
plastic worms.

Dear Ron,
Thank you for setting up a great fishing and hunting trip for
my boy, Spencer, and me last week on Lake Okeechobee. Everything
worked out fine. Spencer, who is twelve, and I were thrilled to
find out we were going to use an air boat with you for fishing.
It was exciting to see how dense the glades and lake were with
wildlife. The fish were abundant.
The hog hunt was excellent.
Our guides, Dick, and his son John, were totally professional
people all the way. They were great to be with. All their dogs
knew the program. Dick and John made us feel right at home and
handled all aspects of the hunt just right. They never fussed
over Spencer's age. He acted right with his weapon so they pretty
much treated him as an adult. That made it possible for me to
have a really good time.
We shot two boar hogs in
wooded rough patches in the cane fields. Spencer was up first
and used a Winchester Trapper .44 magnum with a 246 grain copper
jacketed hollow point that took the hog down on the first shot.
I used the same round in my Marlin .44 magnum but it took two
shots since he didn't seem to notice the first one that went trough
the shoulder area while he was fighting with the dogs. I didn't
get their weights.
Dick and John did a careful
and thorough job of skinning and butchering both hogs. John cut
a five inch front section off the snout of my hog so we could
get the tusks; the top and bottom front sections of the jaw bones
are almost clean after only one week of leaving them in the back
yard with a cover over top and dousing them with a pot of boiling
water every other day or so. We brought the head of Spencer's
hog to Tyson's to mount. He was very easy to deal with. We probably
could have used a map to help find Tyson's house down a farm road
in Okeechobee.
I would highly recommend
Dick and John as guides and we hope to come back.
