I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Cody Weiser and I'm from Hallettsville, Texas. I am an avid boar hunter and own "Wild Boar USA" magazine. I am an administrator over at Texasboars.com, but was very excited to be pointed in the direction of this forum. I have read thru many of the posts and I am excited to see the vast diversity and locations of the members. I hope to read and learn much from everyone here. I would like to invite everyone to the first ever Wild Boar Hunting EXPO to be held here in Hallettsville, TX on Feb. 3 & 4, 2007. Admission will be free with a donation of a canned good that will be donated to the local area food bank. We have booths coming from as far as Sweden and Australia and have had spectators call about hotel info from Hawaii and Pennsylvania. The EXPO will be a gathering of "anything & everything" wild boar and will cover, trapping, dog hunting, rifle hunting, scents, taxidermy, and gear. Hopefully it will be a couple days where a bunch of hog hunters can just get together and fellowship and talk hogs!
I hope to get to know the people here and again....GREAT forum!

For those of you who do not know, I didn't I looked it up,
Hallettsville is about midway between Houston and San Antonio.

I may just have to head on down there.

Thanks for the info.

Cody, where is this going to be held at in Hallettsville?

Hog Killer

I just subscribed to your magazine and would like to attend. Are you gonna serve SPAM?

The EXPO will be held in the "just finished" William Baber Expo Center (80,000 sq ft) it is a very nice facility and on the north side of Hallettsville. There will be a map posted on www.wildboarusa.com within the next couple weeks, but there will be signs pointing the way throughout Hallettsville that weekend.

NO SPAM, but there should be good food to eat!

sounds like fun

Billinthewild,

Not trying to be a "Troll"....just want to introduce myself and hope I can become an active member of this board. Yep....I do make money off of boars....it is what I do....but I'm not trying to push anything on anyone. The EXPO is free admission and the first ever gathering of only boar hunters that we know of. PM me your address and I will send you a free copy of my publication...if you like it fine....if not there is Boar Hunter or California Hog Hunter or Bayed Solid....all good hog hunting publications. This is not a 1 or 2 post "advertisement" for me....I hope to be around for a while if allowed and become a contributing member of this forum.

Iwas suscribed to your excellent magazine and i was in the extreme trohy room page several times ,do you konw how billinthe wild meet your mag he found it here in Argentina ,see the photos of his hunt with knife rifle and his beatiful bowen 45colt.Juan

Juanpozzi,

You are talking about "Boar Hunter" magazine...I worked for them for 3 years as a field editor. Very good publication. I own "Wild Boar USA"....totally seperate publication. Boar Hunter is out of Georgia...We are located in Texas.

Cody Weiser. Open mouth, insert foot. I did not mean to disparage you in any way by the use of that gremlin about trolls. If I did, my apologies. I welcome you to this forum and look forward to meeting you and getting a copy of your magazine.
If you are interested I will send you a copy of the article I am planning to write about my trip to Argentina.

By chance will you be at the Dallas Safari CLub convention in January? I am planning to drive down for that one.

Sounds like fun to me

Billinthewild,
Thank you for the welcome. No negative feelings about the SPAM sign....you've got to watch out for that.
If I have my days right I think the Dallas Safari Club Show and SHOT Show in Orlando are booked on the same weekend. I'm planning on being in Orlando to make the rounds. I would definately like to read your article.
Thanks again for the welcome!

I plan on being at the EXPO.

After reading this the other night I sent Cody a pm and today rec'd a copy of his fine little magazine.

Great reading and I appreciate getting the free copy. Shall keep it handy and try to subscribe to it in Jan. Am spent out this month. Blew a head gasket & cracked a head, now the manifold won't fit the other head. When it rains as they say.

IF I can get down there for pigs in Feb. I'll consider writing about it and sending pictures Cody.

Cody, I'd love to come to the expo, but have to save my sheckles for taking momma to Mexico, in March. However, if you have a 2nd. annual, I'd sure like to combine it with a south Texas hog huntnext year.
