North Texas hunts

I'll be flying in from Alaska to visit my dad this June and he wants to hog hunt with me. He lives in Ft. Worth. Does anyone have experience with hogs in that area? He'll be hunting with a pistol and I'll have a pistol and bow. He's not in great physical shape so keep that in mind. Thanks in advance.

You should be able to find something. How far do you want to drive?

It would be nice to drive 2 hours or less. It's just a 1 or 2 day hunt for him. There should be a good number of places around Denton, Wichita Falls, Weatherford, etc.

I think you could go any direction and find some. I don't know anyone in a 2 hr circle that does Hog hunts.

I took my two brothers on a hog hunt at Stasney's Cook Ranch. We took a #225 with a 400/360, a #205 with a muzzleloader and a #165 with a 45-70 model 1886.

Great Hunt, great people! I will do it again.

It is in Albany TX and took about 2 hours to get there.

Contact Willie at www.texasoutdoororganizers.com and see what he has available. He had a super deal earlier just south of Dallas near Corsicana in the Trinity River bottoms about 6 weeks ago. Tell him that Ron from Lake Texoma sent you. I see if I can find his ph# at the office in San Antonio if you need it

Just in case they ask you about Tuna fishing, just tell them you are interested in feral hogs.

verhoozits, hmmm, very interesting !!!

The Cook Ranch has a website at www.stasney.com. There is also the Nail Ranch. There are some other operations either closer in or to the east that are smaller and may be fenced. I know someone trying one in May that is fairly reasonable, but I have heard no direct reports yet.

Edited: Here is the place that I mentioned someone was trying in May:

I have no idea what it is like.

Here is a post I made earlier on another thread:

I have read some positive reports of this place in the past, although it would be much better to hear some current reports:

North Texas Outfitters

If it were me, I would try a low-fenced hunt on a place like the Nail Ranch, Stasney's Cook Ranch, or the Pitchfork Ranch with Mesquite Country Outfitters.

There are lots of other places to hunt hogs in Texas, including a number in South Texas. They do guided hunts next to the ranch I hunt on, but there would be no guarantee that you would get a 200 pound boar. I have seen some in that size but the typical ones I have seen are smaller.

Make sure you understand the size of the place and the method of hunting and get some good current references. Then have a great time and post some pictures.

This is Roland1's report from the place he decided to go.

Good luck with the hunt!
