Default RE: pig exotic hunt

I just returned from my 2nd Texas Exotic/hog hunt Sept. 17th. I hunted 4 days on an archery only Ranch-I had a good hunt thou I didn't get what I was trying for. My 1st hunt was in Feb. @ Sweetwater Creek near Decater Texas. I took a Red Deer Bull & my son took a 6 point Sika. We didn't get a hog but managed to have 5 misses-we should have brought at least one home. This trip I wanted to try for a Larger Red Deer than the one i got in Feb. which I almost did-he just didn't stick around long enough for me to get the arrow off. I did take a hog on my 1st morning of hunting & after passing on several Large Fallow deer trying for the Red Deer I took an average Fallow Buck 1 hour b/4 dark on my last day of hunting.
We like the Exotic/hog hunting as it extends our bow season hunting biggame & gives us a chance to hunt something we don't get a chance to in the midwest. This ranch is excellent in every way & NO TROPHY fees-4 days $600 plus $35 non-res. tag allows you 2 hogs & 1 hard Horn animal. They have Fallow Deer, Corsican Rams, Aoudad Sheep, Red Deer, Black Buck, Sika Deer and if you want Whitetail during the season they have lots of those too-I filmed 4 shooter bucks with 3 Being P&Y that I could have had shots at each under 20 yards.
I am returning in Dec. to film my son & 3 other Bowhunters. It is just a great place & I will be Bowhunting again next year for that BIG Red Deer. Good luck in your hunting this year-I just got my deer stand up today-opener is 1 Oct..

always thankful
