I know that they are down on Love Valley WMA. We went out there late spring, there was sign all over the place, but we never did see any hogs. We were doomed from the get go though. There were a million mosquitoes that didnt care how much off we had on us which ruled out setting up and waiting. Then in some parts we would sink up to our knees in mud so it made our stalks quite comical. If I go back down there it will be in the winter, it is extremely thick out there. plus no bugs. And actually if I go back down I will bring some fishing gear. Maybe put out some throw lines with some shrip, go hunt and hopefully have some fish as well. Its right on the red river and im sure there are some monster cat fish in that sucker.

Sorry im starting to ramble.....if you go take a bug suit, therma cell, something other than off. We also did see a few deer that day and alot of turkey tracks. I will have to see if I can find my map for the area and tell you were we started and the general area for the most of the hog sign. I called the bioligist a while back and he gave me some locations to start with. One is called the hog pen, if the water is high you wont be able to get to it.

let me try and explain to you where its at. I tried to copy the map but it would work. go to wildlifedepartment.com and go to the wma atlas. zoom in on love valley and locate hog pen road and gene bond road. where the two run into each other directly south will be corcoron creek. it breaks off the red river. what that creek does is it creates a little strip of land that borders the red river. the small triangle of land comes to a point south of gene bond road. That triangle of land is where the bioligist told me to look for hogs. unfortunately the water was up so high there was no way to get across. I hope this helps you and didnt confuse the heck out of you.

If its unclear post again, ill check back.
