need a little help
I've only been on one wild boar hunt before. We hunted a several hundered acre high fence preserve. The high fence was there to keep the exotics on the ranch. Only one of us killed a boar out of like 7 or 8 people. My brother had hunted there before and killed a good size boar to eat. Sure was tastey.
I have not been able to hunt the last 2 years due to waiting and recovering from a bilateral lung transplant. I don't have the strength to archery hunt this year. My brother and his wife came to visit over the weekend and I mentioned I would like to go on a hog hunt and shoot a couple eating size hogs. With a rifle of course. He said to set things up and will make it happen. Probably won't be until this fall. But I thought I would start my home work now. I would like to hunt in Texas, but am open to new ideas. A lot of you say you have never payed for a hog hunt. How do you go about this and have good chances at hogs??? I am not opposed to spending a little $$ for a hunt on a ranch. But can't see paying $600 plus for the hunt.

RE: need a little help
I live in Texas and have never paid to shoot a hog. That is because I own my own land. Plus, there is lots of public land. I have taken many hogs on the Brazos river, which is public land as well. You can find many outfitters willing to take you out, or you can find adds in the paper or in the thrifty nickel for day and weekend hunts on peoples private land. Usually 100 bucks a gun or 200 a weekend. Call the chamber of commerce in the area you plan to hunt, or look in the want adds of the paper or thrifty nickel. Most all the day and weekend hunts in the adds will be in areas that are feed year around.
