Anyhow, hello.

This is one of the healthier boards I've been associated with in years past. It got me thinking the other day as to what makes up a good bulletin board. Not only does a BB need good communicators and active members, but I would go so far as saying that an active, captive audience is required as well. People to listen to the experiences and wisdom of others. Certainly different users coming from all over the world offer new experiences and insights, and these are welcome, but the point is, just because you think you don't have anything to offer, doesn't necessarily mean you aren't contributing.

Oh, and welcome from northwest Louisiana.

What kind of sticks are you into?

actually I don't know yet, until I started smoking some of the nicer stuff (within the last week or two) all I'd smoke would be like backwoods with my family on hunting trips and stuff, all I've smoked so far are a Montecristo White (Very, very satisfied with this one) and I went back to the shop today and asked the owner for some suggestions and he gave me an ashton something or other ( it had a white label, wasn't real into this one, but I'll stick the other one in the humidor and see what happens) and a Romeo y Julietta (smokin' it tomorrow). I need some suggestions to take to turkey camp with me though, and I leave friday, so let's here what you guys like - I'm mostly looking for more mild/medium smokes, cant quite handle the real strong stuff just yet.

What is "turkey camp"?

See if you can pick up something from Torano, CAO (Criollo), Gispert or Rocky Patel (Connecticut, Sun Grown).

lol I think he was referencing spring gobbler season and going up to his hunting camp to shoot a turkey. Am I correct?

I always enjoyed spring gobbler better than fall. In PA, you could only hunt until noon and the weather was so nice, with the sun shining through the trees.

There's no fall turkey season in South Carolina..

Dammit!

You suck. Hogs are good, but PA doesn't really have many of them. We've gotten a few from down in GA. I haven't seen many wild ones in PA. One year I was bear hunting and came across a hog, but I didn't know the regs and let it pass, only to have the guy on the next knoll over kill it. Turns out it escaped from one of the fenced in, pay-to-hunt areas. There is a little island in the Susquehanna River on the western side of Lancaster County that a guy will stock with the game that you want to hunt and I've known a few people to get hogs there with S&W .45 and muzzleloaders.
