I haven't hunted public land however I know there are a lot of hogs on Gus Engling WMA. I'm not certain they allow hog hunting out there though. The Texas Feral Hog Management Assoc. fell by the wayside. Rev and I tried to match landowners with a hog problem to bowhunters. Well we found 15,268,872 bowhunters and 1 landowner interested in helping out. well, it sure seemed that way. Everyone wants cash. I had a thread up about finding free hogs in Tx. I had the mods pull it because I just couldn't keep up with demand. Other than guys that are already booked with me I'm done. I don't have much land to hunt and from now on it is only friends and active duty military. Try getting out in rural areas and asking around in feed stores about people with hog problems, maybe put up some flyers? sorry I couldn't be more help.
