Huh.

Ever enter a contest on a whim, figuring you never win anything anyway, and then get told you did?

Ever have to figure out how to get to Texas as a result?

I seem to have won a three-day, two-night hunt at a Texas hunting ranch. A hog hunt, specifically. I always promised myself that if I ever went from just target shooting in archery to bow hunting, I would hunt something that a) I was willing to eat and b) was probably ecologically damaging, and, well.... it's hogs. Not like I haven't got plenty of recipes for pork, assuming I manage to actually kill one. And not like they aren't a problem when they go feral, so....

Yeah.

I don't even know what country western song I'm living in now.

Cool! Congrats! (If you come through DFW, I would love to buy you dinner or something! :D)

Cool! :D

Good luck figuring out how to get there, and I hope it's a fun trip!

Also yum pork. That reminds me (as usual) that I still want to buy a freezer chest and half an animal from the family-run slaughterhouse a few miles away.

I have no ideas, but I like this song. Heck yeah for you!

Congratulations! That's kind of hilariously awesome. :Db

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO GO

SO AWESOME

My greatest regret in high school is not going on a trip to study the wild hogs!

Only thing I ever won was an ebook reader. I carefully don't risk winning anything requiring travel, especially if it isn't expenses paid.

WHAT

AWESOME

Clearly you are living in the country western song of badass.

My word. I hope you pull a mean bow - the difference between hunter and hunted is not great when you're talking about wild hogs. Do you have one of those spears with the crosspiece, too?

So just how enthused is your Adrian Shephard headvoice just now? :)

Now I want to find that Niven short story about whatsisname at the Draco Tavern getting invited on a hunt by aliens ...

oooooooooooooooer.

And yeah, thinning the feral hogs in that area counts as civic duty for sure, if you can manage it.

Wow, congrats!

I would have to say you sound like you're living in a Garth Brooks type of song.

Awesome.

And at least there's one thing made easier about getting to Texas: it can't dodge away.

Awesome!
