Default Texas Bowhunters

Hello All,
My wife who is originally from East Texas is headed back there this weekend and after tiddying up the dead here I'll be headed there.

I have been researching the hog hunting there and I'mexcited to find your great state is overrun with hogs. Sounds to me like as long as you find the right areas you're 99.9% guaranteed a pig.

My internet reasearch is showing numerus ranches within a 3 hour drive from Dallas selling hog hunts for 200-300 and up.

I am not oppossed to spending a couple hundred bucks to shoot a good pig, heck I'll spend that easy here on a 3 day trout fishing or deer trip all to get skunked.

I gotta wonder though if there are land owners there just wanting to thin'em out and let you come shoot them for free.

Also, is wild hog meat good eating? One thing I love is a big country breakfast with eggs, sausage, ham and bacon. Is the wild hog meat similar to commercialy sold pork products?

Thanks,

Metro
