I live in the midwest but go to Tx & Ok for some off season hog Bowhunting. It's great BUT in time, you will get more than you bargain for. Hogs are just plain unsociable with hunters..
My 1st hog ever I was going back to my truck through some brambles for a break from hog hunting-I surprised one from his bed. He stood @ 20 yds. quartered away when my arrow went through both his lungs. He spun around, raised all the hair on his back & charged-I had a 2o yd head start-No trees & he fell 10 feet from me. My knees & everything were shaking. Since then, I've been charged 7 other times & 2 of these have been by Hogs that have had an arrow put through their vitals. I have Archery killed Black Bears, Buffalo, Elk, Caribou to name some of the bigger animals I have taken & a HOG is the meanest & toughest to kill in my 53 years of Bowhunting.

It is tons of fun though & I am hoping to take my son & Daughter on such a trip next year... Pic is some of mine with my largest tusker shown also.
