Central Texas Hog Hunting

Central Texas Hog Hunting is some of the best Hog
Hunting in Texas, Our region of Central Texas is in the top
three areas in Texas for large wild hog concentrations. The
year around agriculture provides a never-ending food
resource for hogs. This region of
Texas is also covered with rivers, creeks, and private lakes.
So, with the heavy vegetation, vast agriculture, and plenty
of water it's easy to see why we have a high hog
population, making for great Central Texas Hog Hunting.
We offer our clients several choices in hunting methods.
Stand hunting is a popular choice. We use elevated tent
and box blinds placed in a high traffic area with a feeder or
food plot. Once hogs start to traffic a feeder or food plot
you can generally guess at a time they might come in to
feed. When Hog Hunting in Texas, we use game cameras to
establish this estimated time. If hogs come to the
feeders between 7 pm and 9 pm you will want to be in the
stand at 6 pm and not leave until 10 pm or later. Hog
movement changes mainly due to weather conditions. Heat
is the primary factor when Texas Guided Hog Hunting.
Therefore, if they have been moving in the 70-degree temps

and it rains, then it is very possible for them to move early and visa versa if the temps
spike to an unusual high. Spot and stalk is another method we use at times of the
year when hogs are active in day light hours. We will glass large fields or travel routs.
When a hog is spotted, we then stalk into range and attempt the harvest. A very
exciting method of hog hunting is hunting with dogs. Hunting hogs with dogs is very
exciting, When the dogs find hogs, the bay dogs try to contain them until the catch
dogs get there. The we get there. When we get to where the hog is caught, we (the
guides) will throw the hog and then the client can harvest the hog. Another method
we use is spot lighting. This is a fun and exciting hunt. The clients will be on a safari
rack on the back of the guide's truck. We idle around the fields at night and look for
hogs for Hog Hunting in Texas. Once hogs are found, you can attempt the harvest.
There are very few laws in Texas on hog hunting. As a sport hunter you need only a
resident or non-resident five-day small game license. There is no bag limits set by
the state of Texas. Each ranch and/or the outfitter set all bag limits. Any legal firearm,
bow & arrow, or spear/knife may be used to harvest wild hogs. We do have
requirements on calibers . Hogs are very dense animals. They have very thick hide, a
layer of fat and cartilage armor, the rib cage, and then finally the vitals. I have yet to
see a common caliber too big for Texas Hog Hunting. But, .22, .243, & 25 calibers are
all on the small side. You can successfully harvest hogs with these calibers with a
well-placed ear shot. We require that you use at leat a .270 caliber or magnum
cartridge (i.e.7mm rem mag, 300 mag, 30/60, 30/30 etc).

Things a client needs to bring:
1. Proper clothing for the weather conditions.
2. A scope mounted light or night vision scope.
3. Legal firearm or bow
4. Bug spray (non-scented)
5. Water, snacks, day pack.
