Texas Wild Hog Hunts
http://www.smithbrosranches.com/hogs.html (2005-07-19)
Our specialty in February, March, April, May, and June is Hog Hunting. Wild Boars, Feral Hogs, Texas Boars, Texas Wild Boars...these are all names used to describe the hogs that we hunt here in Texas. Texas has the largest Feral Hog population of any state in the nation and South Texas has the largest density per acre. In Texas, the Feral Hog is not protected and can be hunted day or night, by any means. David and his guides have been hog hunting for years in the South Texas Brush. Whether you are on a semi-guided or fully guided hunt, David and his guides will be glad to give you some pointers.
This is an action packed hunt that is for the "Western at Heart". Hunting is done at night on oat, peanut, and Milo fields. "It’s like riding a bucking bronco and shooting at the bad guys." February, March, April, and May hunts are available.
This fully guided 4-5 hour hunt is done at night with the hunters riding in the back of a pickup truck in seats. Texas Wild furnishes the pickup with driver, gate opener, spot light, and the fields to hunt. It is recommended that each hunter wear warm cloths, bring a 12 gauge shotgun with the plug taken out, at least 30 rounds of "00" buckshot, rain gear, flashlight, hunting knife and food & drink of choice. A side arm is optional. Price is $200/hunter plus tips with a 3 hunter minimum. Each hunter is allowed 2 hogs. Parties of 3-6 works best. Call or e-mail for available dates and to book your hunt.
This is one of those types of hunts that you and your friends will be talking about until...well, the next time you go on one! We have access to approximately 50,000 acres in the counties of Atascosa, Frio, and McMullen. Seasoned hunters and novices alike will find themselves on an adrenaline high when they harvest a Trophy Texas Wild Boar on this type of hunt.
This is a fully guided 4-5 hour hunt done at night in the South Texas Brush. Texas Wild will furnish a pickup truck with dog box, trained hog dogs, two-way radios, dog handlers, snake-guard leggings for each hunter, and a hog stricker if you do not have one. We recommend that each hunter bring a good flash light, a sharp hunting knife, and a side arm for personal protection. Hunt times vary with time of year and weather conditions. Price is $200/hunter plus tips with a 3 hunter minimum. Limit of 2 hogs per hunter. 3-6 hunters work well on this hunt. Call or e-mail for available dates and to book this Texas Wild hunt.
We have five different ranches that are set up with blinds and feeders for hunting hogs with rifles. Each ranch has a cabin, house, or lodge for the hunters to stay. This hunt is done successfully year round. When the weather in South Texas gets hot, most of the hog movement is at night. If you are scheduling your hunt during the Summer, come prepared to hunt at night. To aid in night hunting Texas Wild has several feeders with hog lights and some set up with spot lights.
