My son and I are thinking about planning a wild hog hunt later this year... it seems that Texas is the place for this! I have been doing quite a bit of internet surfing and thought I would ask around here as well. Anyone know of a good place to hunt wild hogs in Texas? A place where lodging is available would be best.

Let me know.

You can google hog hunt's in Texas and your computer will be smoking.
Lots of offerings.
I was hunting them this evening seen an old sow and about 10 pigs in the back pasture
the other day right at dark.
I was hunting one of my deer feeders till just a few minutes ago.
My advice get a good green laser light mounted on your scope.
You will have much better success after dark if they have any pressure on them at all.

Saw a sounder 3 evenings ago back in the wooded section of my place when I was looking for a calf, that I know had over 40 total in it. Biggest bunch I've seen here n a long time.
 
GB that is the very reason I am packing the Ruger Ranch rifle with me on the mule now.
Get into one or two and they will move on down the line. Turned off all the deer feeders the minute
I saw them, they can't get into the protein feeders. Also turned on the low wire on the electric fence
they don't cotton to voltage either..
Deer feeders on the lease across the road have ran out most likely with season over
and they are on the prowl. They are working the creek bottoms here looking for that last acorn.
This usually happens in February every year.
 
Well, I drove the tractor down to the east side today checking the fences after the wind we had Monday. Them hogs have done a number down there--big holes everywhere over 1/2 acre. They're not looking for acorns, they're rootin up for those big grubs that grow underground during the winter and come out in summer, the ones as long and big around as your thumb. My brother has a big deer stand near there so I guess I'll go sit in it a couple of evenings. Maybe I can at least run 'em up river to my sister's place--they really like her mulched in flower beds. :lol:
 
GB my my creek bottom is still full of red oak acorns they don't sour and rot like white oak and live oak and the hog's love them.
I was thinking of hitting the deer stand this evening if it quits sleeting and snowing.
Got the Ruger loaded up with 75 grain hollow points just for them.
 
Got a few big red oaks here, but mostly white oak on the high ground and hickory and pig nut thickets in the bottom. Them nuts and acorns are all long gone to the squirell population and it was just too dang cold and wet to go down to the deerstand tonight. Be a good night for it tho, plenty of moonlight--that pack of coyotes might come thru too.
