Yeah, they hand out a set amount of permits for a 3 day hunt in March. It's something like $30 and its first come, first served. You have to line up in person and its usually the first week of January. I've always passed it up, but I recently lost out on some prime hog hunting real estate so I'm...

Has anyone participated in the hunt they have in March before? The land I generally hog hunt on is all around the refuge. This will be my first year to hunt on the refuge. I was just wondering if anyone else might be there.

To flesh out the title of the thread I have twin girls who turned 10 today. I also have another daughter who is 8. (I also have two boys 5 and 1, but thats a seperate thread.) They want to hog hunt, but I don't have anything that will put down a hog that they can handle. They have experience...

I looked into LBJ, but it was really broken up and I wasn't sure where I could hunt. One of the spots on the map that showed to be hunting land had cattle grazing on it. I didn't want to end up being somewhere that I wasn't supposed to be.

Ok, let me lay everything out on the table so everyone knows where I'm coming from. Growing up no one in my family ever hunted. We owned guns, but no one ever shot them or even cleaned them. Fast forward to a few years ago and I woke up one morning and decided that I was going to start hunting...

Dave, you will not find a nicer group of people than the hog hunters that belong to this forum. I don't know what it is, but for some reason hog hunters seem to be just a little more laid back than other groups.

Ah, that x-ray comment was about my 8 year old daughter. She fell and hurt her finger on a friday and I told her to suck it up. Monday my wife took her for an x-ray and it was fractured. I pretty much never go to the doctor. I'm pretty sure I tore my hamstring a few years ago. It still hurts...

I think that they are both serious. I think they just don't know. I do have a tendency to understate things myself and they usually turn out to be worse. Especially after you look at the x-rays.

The parents of the kid in the first picture are claiming that it's 250 pounds. The man in the second picture is claiming his is 400 pounds. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

If I down a pig that I know is big I'll use the measuring tape, but I usually don't worry about it. I've just seen a couple of posts lately with pictures and the sizes they are claiming the pigs to be seem way off to me. I don't know either of the people in the pictures posted above, but they...

I'm sure most of the people on here are members of other forums or at least see a few hunting pictures on Facebook from time to time. Maybe it's just me but lately I've been noticing an increase in the number of pictures of people with their hog kills. I get a good chuckle when I read how big...

Yes, I was caught off guard with the daytime pigs. Hopefully I can get permission to go after them. I've got all my kids trained to look for edible wildlife. The girls especially like wild pig. After I brought the first one home it's all they think about.

So I'm try to focus on turkey season which starts tomorrow. It's been hard enough because we are also preparing for a big camping/fishing trip. We were headed to Cabelas today when I hear my girls yelling, "Daddy, wild pigs!" Every time I think I've got things under control I get pulled back in.

My wife did say that I should drive in the night before. I could probably spend the evening trying to locate them and then grab a bite to eat and throw my bed roll in the back of the van and park at one of the free camping sites. Thanks for the advice about fences and water. I was unaware of...

I'm trying my hand at turkey hunting this year as a continuation of my goal to broaden my hunting. This is the only hunting forum that I'm a member of so I figured I would ask here. Does anyone have experience with this area? I did some scouting yesterday, but thats all I'm going to get with my...

Man, I appreciate the responses. I've got a lot to learn about this part of the process. My goal is to be as self sufficient as possible. Are there some videos on youtube or somewhere that I can watch? I'm starting to get the feeling that my brother who is the hog hunter still has a lot to learn...

I'm looking for tips and advice on how you all go about processing hogs. Also, at what point is it a waste of time due to hot temps? I was wondering with summer on the way how quickly the meat is going to spoil. My process is generally gut it where I kill it then take it somewhere to hang so I...

I'm in the Sulphur Springs area. I do have a few children, but I'm not sure who would be in the market for feral kids and I'm not making anymore.

I borrowed a gun for that hunt. I'm still trying to get the wife to understand that I need an AR. I'm thinking that if I build one slowly she won't realize what I'm doing until it's too late.

Thanks, I don't know if he was 250 pounds. I could hear my brother getting excited when we flipped on the hunting light so I figured he was a little bigger than what my brother normally sees. My brother is the hog hunter and thats his shed. Wish mine was empty. I realized pretty quickly that hog...
