We
really enjoyed our hunt. The first picture for our group is not
a member of our party. The reason my friend was not pictured was
that I kidnapped him and took him on an adventure against the
wishes of his lovely wife. As a doctor he spends his days in a
boring hospital and I took him hog hunting. He had more excitement
and fun than he has had in years. Back at the hospital, he discovered
how many hog hunters are out there when he started telling his
story. Yes I would recommend your service and Javier did a great
job! Thanks

Cpt.
Ron,
Exciting hunt!
The picture on the web site is excellent.
Here is an account of our hunt:
Hunting
with an Edge
By Neil Clarridge
Distant strains of ferocity alerted us to the chase. As we maneuvered
toward the sound, a hog broke from cover and crossed the trail
100 yards ahead of us. The boar appeared huge in the early morning
light. The Florida Curs (hunting dogs) beleaguered the hog at
every turn.
Taylor Roark and I traveled 13 ½ hours to hunt wild hogs
in Glades County, Florida with Ron’s Guide Service. Roark
and three of his classmates accompanied me on a bear hunt in New
Brunswick for their senior trip. His three classmates had brought
home meat from Canada, but Roark was unable to kill a bear. Roark
had hunted honorably, but had to pass up the large sow he saw
because it had cubs. A nagging sense of disappointment provoked
my need to atone for the unsuccessful trip to Canada.
When the schedule unexpectedly opened, phone calls turned the
time off into a whirlwind hog hunt. I called Taylor first, then
Captain Ron, and finally a hotel in the area. All was set for
Tuesday, July 28. We left Monday morning, hunted Tuesday morning,
and returned home Tuesday evening.
The GPS made navigation easy. The hotel was not fancy, but it
was clean, neat, and in a quiet neighborhood. We woke early Tuesday
and headed to a restaurant for breakfast. A picture of a man hoisting
a huge Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake graced the wall near our
table. After eating eggs, sausage, and grits, we headed to the
meeting place. We were expected at 6:30 A.M.
The dogs in the back of the truck made it easy to identify our
hosts. There we met Dick, Raymond, and Donald. We followed them
to a store, dropped off my car, loaded the guide’s truck
with gear, and headed out. The guides wanted to know why we had
guns. We said that we usually take guns when hunting.
Dick asked if we had a knife. I pulled out my father’s M4
USMC bayonet. Dick nodded his approval as we loaded the truck
for the ride to the hunting ground. On the way, we drove by a
slough where a lone alligator slowly swam toward shore.
We soon found ourselves in the middle of a tropical jungle. The
vegetation was tall, thick, and seemingly impenetrable. A swath
of paths cut by a bush hog provided a labyrinth of corridors through
the area. Ray and Donald turned loose the hounds. Dick stayed
with us as the dogs combed the area for scent. As Dick explained
how to take a boar with a knife, a lone opossum crept by the truck.
Excited barking brought instant intensity to the hunt. The boar
crossed the swath with Raymond and Donald in tow. Taylor was on
point for this one. He grabbed the bayonet as I loaded the shotgun.
We caught up with Raymond who promptly sent us into the thick
of the fray where Donald and the dogs had the boar at bay. The
game plan was simple, Donald would help Taylor stretch out the
hog’s back end and then Taylor would stab the hog behind
the front shoulder with the knife.
The shotgun was there in case something went wrong. Donald and
Taylor worked together to subdue the beast. Taylor was a fearless
warrior while he made meat of the critter. When the deed was done,
Taylor posed for pictures with his trophy. It was then that the
fire ants launched their attack. Taylor got the worst of it, but
we all got a taste of his suffering. We left the spot in great
haste dragging 175 pounds of boar hog behind us.
The dogs were cast in another direction, and before long, they
were amongst a sounder (a group of wild hogs consisting of breeding
age sows along with juveniles) of hogs. The dogs separated a mature
sow from the group and brought it to bay in a small clearing.
The bayonet came from the sheath as I approached the scene. Excitement
built with every step toward the hog. Eyes and mind came to focus
as everything else faded into the background. I was on a mission.
Raymond caught my arm just before I entered the circle of harm.
He said, “Hold on son. We need to wait until the dogs get
a better hold on that hog.”
Raymond’s discerning eye evaluated the ongoing situation
until it was safe for us to proceed. Twenty seconds later, we
waded into the fray, grabbed the hind parts, and thrust the knife
home. After a few pictures, we lugged 150 pounds of pork to the
truck.
Now that the excitement was over, the chore of butchering began.
Dick had everything needed to process the hogs at his house. Donald
and Raymond took to the chore with great skill. They used a coconut
knife for much of the work.
The guides packed the meat in coolers, added ice, and poured a
gallon of vinegar in the cooler with the boar’s meat in order
to mellow its taste. The guides were expert in every aspect of
the hunt. The boar was caped for delivery to Adam Nicholson’s
taxidermy studio in Chatham.
The ride home was uneventful. Some have questioned the sanity
of hunting hogs with a knife. Given the close quarters confining
the participants, and the pandemonium surrounding a shot, the
knife is much safer than a firearm because there are no projectiles
to hit a dog or ricochet into an unintended target.
The thick vegetation and the relentless dogs tire the hog as it
tries to evade capture. A hunter smart enough to listen to the
guide and cool enough to follow his directions will have a safe,
exciting hunt.
