Annual Texas hog hunt

[wytex]

We're getting our hunting stuff ready for our annual hog hunt down in Texas. We've been going down almost every year now for quite a few years to hunt hogs on the spouse's family place, took the first hog off it about 30 years ago.
Many times we've taken friends with us, this year a good friend, and business owner in Laramie, and his father in law.
Hoping the pigs get a little more active out in the fields, but we're ready for hitting the hills and breaks.
We'll use a thermal for spotting and led lights for shooting at night.
Hitting the road next Saturday if weather permits. A day's drive for us and the friends are flying down.
Some views from the front porch. Hoping conditions are right for a little controlled burning while we are down.


The property is right on the Red River in North Texas.

This hunt will be rifle only, but a bow would be fun.

 

[Stay Sharp]

Either way, it sounds like a great time. Good luck to you.

2 years ago I did a wounded warrior hog hunt event where we ran the hogs with dogs and got up to them and stabbed them. What a rush!!!

I thought you could only hunt red river hogs in Africa Sounds like a great time and a pretty place to be.

Pretty sure you can hunt anything in Texad! Lol.

@wytex. I hunted along the Red River last February on an invite from a friend down there. Your spot looks a bit west of there though.

The place is on Sadler's bend, just north of Muenster.

I get to hunt on a bud's place occasionally on the Red north of Vernon near Doan's Crossing....natural springs, bluffs, bruschy terraces stepping down to the river, wheat fields up top...lots of smart feral pigs and a few dumb ones. Always a good time when I get to be in the mix with he and his boys.

I've got some family on the Texas side not too far from there. Neat country.
Looks like they need to get some sows taken out.

That overlook and that wood bench, looks wonderful! Great luck to ya'll!

It's been a rough year for their paying hunters, lots of acorns and pecans. We'll be hitting the breaks and hoping the rain forecast doesn't turn into a frog strangler. We have about 3,000 acres to find them in. Luckily the neighbors are pretty welcoming to us as well.
