good luck!I'm also jealous.
I'm heading out in February to Texas
Good luck,they are tough to hunt where I live because the hunting pressure with hounds, all year long.No mercy for the poor hogs.
Me and some buddies are gonna try to hunt some up Sat-Sun. Maybe we will all get on some! Good luck!
Private 2000 acres. Made a quick improvement on my original groundblind I walked into here and waited. Actually bumped a BIG doe and yearling group coming in. There was a single kernel of corn on the ground beneath te feeder and the ENTIRE area was churned up, deer tracks everywhere, even several scrapes coming in on the sandy road. I set the feeder off again and waited. NADA.
Antler-less and spike Whitetails shootable until 1/16!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best of luck to you Alex !!!

Gonna need to bring my chair tomorrow.....quick set up kneeling was not shootable.
Bring a camera!
sounds good. i want to go hog hunting so bad. hopefully in the near future. most likly will be a HF hunt which doesnt bother me.
have fun and good luck
Wouldn't bother me either as I'm behind one now!
Switching to the ghillie suit this afternoon, as I've finally got the gist of how to shoot in it without tangling the string. Just push the left sleeve ALL the way up.
My spot is hot but the wind is wrong so I need to switch sides of this X deer road junction. We shall see. Ghillie allows me do minimize blind construction, sneak in and sit down quickly and quietly.
trim the sleeves hanging camo or get a camo sleeve to go over it.
:campfire: sounds like BBQ time to me, good luck
Good luck. Where in Texas are you going ?
Just an hour an a half from my front doorstep! Private 2000 acres hi fence club, nobody hunts.
Sat 10' from a large bobcat for about 10 minutes. No deer.
I pulled the left sleeve up to my armpit and secured it with the rancho safari arm strap.
Gotta love the ghillie......
Looking forward to hearing more your hunt.
Best of luck.
Good Luck? You're hunting hogs...On 2000 private acres...In Texas. Sounds like you've already got luck on your side:)
But, I guess you can't have too much luck so, I wish you the best of luck. Take lots of photos!
Tom
I'm glad in a way that we don't have them here where I live because they over populate so fast and do so much damage, but I can't help but envy you all who can be hog huntin in less than an hour.
I've never got to hunt hogs, but I sure would love to!
Good luck, hope you stick a pig!
I'll fire up the grill and pick up a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays! :thumbsup:

SKUNKED. I duck hunted this AM and was in the wrong spot.
On my way out going home, I went to check the feeder this PM at 12:30. Every single kernel of corn gone. Every single one. Tracks everywhere. I followed the high fence to the NW corner and came back to follow it to the NE corner. Multiple breaches in it bordering a very nice oak forest, hog and deer tracks covering both roads:

As I've posted before, I surround myself with those weeds, and pile them high behind me, brushing myself in. The shooting spot is elevated about 4' high from the ground the feeder rests on. Awesome spot. Jan 16th closes the season.
Keep rolling the dice - you will score.
I'm just floored by the amount of tracks in that area, still..........
Another thing is the drainage of the big lake on the property, or the marsh, or Ducktopia, as my buddy calls it, has plenty of, well, marsh and you would not believe the amount of hog tracks in there. Anywhere you wouldn't be in water in that marsh, there were zillions of hog tracks. I envision a hog hunt in that marsh at some point, if there's a way to beat the skeeters, it would be NUTS. Pretty sure it would be safer in winter due to gators in the lake (do they like marshes?).
I think it would be awesome to hunt that marsh. Anyone done this type of either spot and stalk or still hunt?
You lucky dog, we do not have wild hogs here in Utah. Have to go home to Cali and hunt them on the central coast. :mad:
