Hi, my Dad and I are thinking about possibly going on a hog and javelina hunt in Texas. I was wondering which ranches everybody has had good luck hunting on.
Thanks,
Garrett Feik
Garrett, Get a hold of Curtis Keller at 7th Age Bowhunting on the sponsors list. He's a wonderful guy and will do all he can do to give you and dad a first class hunt....
You won't regret it!
Yep, Curtis is the man to talk to. He has some great ranches with plenty of game and will do everything he can to get you on them. :thumbsup:
Another vote for Curtis
Also a vote for Curtis.
I will be on a hog and javelina hunt in Texas with Curtis first of Jan with a few more Trad gang guys.I think there was still a few open dates for that camp but they will not stay open long.
'nother vote for Curtis. First rate li'l feller :D

I wish I could say the same, but compared to me Curtis is a normal sized feller...but a great outfitter nonetheless.. :thumbsup:
Vanilla Gorilla(Cam) and I were thinking of trying our hand at Javies with Curtis also but were thinking of Oct/Nov.
Curtis for sure.

Curtis is the man with the plan. I just hunted with him recently and shot 2 nice boars.
Along with Steel and others, we will hunt Javs/Hogs near Midland, TX aroung New Years. A few spots left, so if you are looking for a great way to reign in the new year, c'mon and get it while the gettings good.
James Foster of Stretch-a-String is top notch as well!
I to will be with Buckster and Steel on the Javi/hog hunt the first week of January. Dad and I met Buckster down in S.Texas last month to hunt hogs with Curtis and it was a blast! I hope to be a multi-repeat customer for many many years to come Lord and life willing.
Thanks for all the kind comments guys! I'm very happy to have so many satisfied clients. Here's a list of scheduled hunts beginning at the first of the new year. This is the new ranch and it is loaded with game. It's a big enough place that I'd never be able to see the whole place in a months time. It's BIG!
There are about 25 water holes throughout the ranch and numerous feeders running. The first part of the January hunt is booked pretty solid right now. The latter part of the hunt still has openings. Remember, This isn't like hunts on smaller(less than 10,000 acres) ranches where all the animals are spooked by the first hunt leaving the second and third group without animals. This place is huge and I'll be rotating pastures(5-12,ooo acres)between hunts. No worries about pressured animals on these hunts! :thumbsup: Only 10 hunters on the ranch at any given time. Most hunters have affiliation to Tradgang. I suppose you could call all these hunts Tradgang hunts. Hope to see yall there. CK- cacjck@yahoo.com

Warm em up for me and Razorsharptokill, Lefty!
Ditto for me too Lefty. Can't wait!
Deposits in for Jim Richards, Vanilla, Chris Klossing. Thanks!
If you guys have been wanting to meet your fellow Tradgangers then these are your hunts. Things are looking very Trad in Texas for January.
171 days and counting for me!!!! 10 ringed every hog and javelina target yesterday at the 3d shoot! I'm READY!
Gonna be dropping my deposit off to Curtis next week. 24-26th. My first ever booked hunt. Cant wait.
As Mr. Burns would say.. "excellent".... Thanks Curtis.
Cool! I can't wait. I will try and warm them up for you guys. Anyone else committed to the 18th-23rd, yet?
I'm looking forward to how you guy's do in January. I'm setting a hunt up with Curtis for April of next year for hog's only, same ranch, good luck. :thumbsup:
So who is booked for the 24th-29th time frame?
Well... 35,000 acres between three hunters....
Jim, I'm not a golfer, but if my math is correct thats over 11K for 3 people. I'm sure others will jump in, though. They better hurry though...ITS ONLY 194 DAYS AWAY!!
I haven't been this excited since my girlfriend fried me up a mess of chicken gizzards for my birthday!!
Cam if she woulda cooked some livers in with that you prooly should marry her...RC
Hey Jim,
I'm lookin at 24-27th. Should have deposit off to Curtis next week.
Seeing that there will be a grunt and a squid in camp should make things interesting!!!! LOL

I have hunted with Curtis so many times now I've lost track! Twice this year so far and if I can figure out how to make that three times I'll be headed south. Can't go wrong with Curtis! First time guys just make sure you listen and follow his advice, he knows hogs like nobody else.
RC..I can't do livers, man! I've tried to choke em down, but they can't get past my tongue. In fact, I can't hold down anything that filters blood or has poop running thru it. I've even tried fooling my gullet by coating them with hotsauce, but my stomach just knows better! But, gizzards? Yall can have the rest of the chicken..leave me the gizz!
My Pappy always said, "Poop is clean until it hits the ground!" But that was normally when I was in the lot and he was leaning on the fence watching.
Ha! Well, until Rachel Ray fries it up and rolls it in powdered sugar to make it look like a funnel cake, its always gonna be dirty ol poop to me!
Looks like there will be soldier there with us too Badkarma. A U.S. Army friend of mine will be contacting Curtis shortly.
Guys, There's more guys coming than are posting here. If you wish you can post on Sponsor Classifieds. Maybe all attendees will post to show who is coming. You guys can kick around sharing rental vehicles, pick a night to cook, etc...I'll try and post a list of received deposits and dates soon. Thanks for all your business. I appreciate it!
Dave, thanks for the supportive words. I wish we could get you down here more often as well. My hog herds need time to recover after your visits though. It's probably good that you go home occasionally. At least I get to keep a few live hogs. :p :bigsmyl: CK
It says "you don't have permission to enter this area" when I tried to post there.
I guess I'll start one here in powwow.
