Has anyone been on any of the hog hunts? I’ve put in for them a couple years now and was wondering what to expect/quality of the hunts?

Yikes!Ditto for the applications. I’ve been in the TX draw system since I was a young kid. I’ve drawn Javelina once as a youth and twice as an adult. Haven’t drawn anything else yet. If they published the average number of points held by an applicant I think people would be depressed. It’s almost certainly well into the double digits.
I’ve drawn as many out of state hunts in a single-year, as I have totaled in close to 25yrs in TX.

I was drawn for one this year, will report back when I know more info!
I've put in every year for just about everything for 8 years now and other than a few E-postcard waterfowl and hog hunts, I have only drawn an archery deer/nilgai hunt in south Texas.
I feel like the fact that they let you put in for multiple hunts of each category really hurt the odds

It definitely hurts the odds, hang in there though. I get drawn for something other than a postcard hunt just about every other year now.
Yeah one thing that probably hurt my odds is that I always put in for just hunts that are on a weekend or holiday so that if I did draw I wouldn't have to use very much PTO. Knock on wood but I should have some saved up and be able to take off more days for hunting now so I'll start putting in for more middle of the week hunts.
