I would love to go on a feral hog hunt in Texas. Anyone know of a place they can recommend down Texas way that would be worth of my hard earned money for the hunt of a lifetime?

    There's a fenced game farm west of here that has some hogs on it. They probably do guided hunts, but why? The darn things are everywhere. Some people pay to hunt them, but many landowners will let you take them out for free.

    I know they live in the South Sulphur bottoms, just south of here. I've seen them, even hit one with my truck.

    Just west of here, a friend's son ran into a bunch of them at night. Truck flipped, young man died.

    Niece and her two girlfriends went to Hogwild Adventures(NW of Houston) a few years ago, and ran out of ammo. Looking at their webpage, they now set a limit to two hogs. My BIL has been trying to get me down there for a helicopter hunt, says it's the only way you want to do it. His 1st one he was using an AR, and the others that had done it before, were using 12ga extended mag tubes with buckshot. He got 3, they all averaged 8-10. The pilots have a real job herding cattle in the brush. They can get on a group of hogs, and keep them in your sights until they run out of hogs, or you run out of ammo.

    Son got a line on a business associate who has farm land in Arkansas. Guy says the hogs move in when weather cools and start tearing up his fields. Sounds like it's an ammo burning foray in December if we can get the last of our farm work finished.

    Starting to be an issue in upstate New York....coming up from Pennsylvania. Rule used to be shoot em on sight. Several years ago, the Conservation Dept. Changed the regulation...can't shoot them now...they want you to just report the sighting.

    I'd like to know why the change of heart.
