Heat Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Some of us here have been doing some talking about a Texas Hog Hunt. This thread is intended to see who might want to go. So far there are 4 of us (BigBrowns, SEAZCoues, Desert Bull, & Heat) that have shown some interest. The idea of a group hunt is to enjoy some time in the outdoors with some new friends and pool resources for driving and gas to Texas. Also, everyone will have some different ideas and hopefully some good places to recommend or think about. Who is seriously interested in doing this? Once we have a good number of folks in mind, maybe we can narrow down a time frame and then maybe figure out which place? Open for any other ideas or suggestions! I will volunteer my 1/2 ton extra cab truck for the trip. Who's in? Nick 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PelaPapas Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Are you guys planning on going to a ranch or hunt public land? A hog hunt is something I've been looking into recently.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Probably a ranch unless someone knows of a great public land place to hunt. Unfortunately Texas has nowhere near the amount of public land as a percentage as Arizona does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PelaPapas Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Ok got it! I've been reading up on it and a lot of people on different forums say that public land hunting is good (and a lot cheaper) for taking pigs. That's if you know where to go, which in my case I DON'T haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreeneMachine Report post Posted December 19, 2014 There's virtually no public land in Tx. But there are tons of ranchers that want you to come shoot their hogs. You should be able to find a good deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhostTracker180 Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Texas does not have a lot of public land. Your best bet will be a ranch. They move mostly at night. Night hunting is allowed in Texas for hogs. Ask the rancher about type of equipment you may need such as a light with red lenses etc. I took this one about 30 min before dark. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Rights As An American Report post Posted December 19, 2014 My one caveat for me is that it is not a fenced operation. I have no interest personally in shooting animals that are intentionally fenced in for hunting purposes. That is just my opinion and does not mean I look down on anyone who participates in fenced hunts. They are just not for me. Hope this does not open a can of worms that takes us off topic! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostTracker180 Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Mine was low fenced too. Texas is over run with hogs! The high fenced places charge more, too. There are plenty of low fenced areas with great hog populations. Look south of San Antonio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Dependent on dates, I would be interested. I think it would be a blast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Pretty sure most of us are leaning very heavily towards a free range hunt. Late spring or early summer was what I was thinking, that works for Desert Bull also. I won't be able to break away until April at the earliest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azpredator@work Report post Posted December 19, 2014 GhostTracker180 - glad you found this site! I'm in after March. Too much work before then. Never shot a hog, should be some fun. Let me know. Wade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n2horns Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Prices I have seen are 300.00 and up for 1 hog. Some in california near Paso Robles (near wineries) are 350.00 per hog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Rights As An American Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Someone on this site has to have a friend who knows someone in Texas with a ranch loaded with hogs. Come on secret Santa, where are you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
