Just got back from my Texas Hog hunt yesterday evening. I shot 1 real good hog that the guide said was pushing the 300 lb. Mark, 4 small meat hogs and a nice javelina. The Hogs were all shot with a 300 RUM that I found out was way too much gun for pig hunting and I shot the Javelina with my bow. My buddy shot a 200 lb. boar, a 100lb. meat hog and a Trophy class Javelina.
I was suprised at the lack of good tusks on the hogs because I really wanted one for the wall. I will probably put the Javelina on the wall though.
I am going to try to post some pictures later on.

Any chance you would tell us about your hunt. Where you went & what you did. I would like to hunt hogs but have never hunted them so in part I am looking for info and living vicariously.

I booked a hunt with a guide to hunt a ranch SW of San Antonio. It was for Free range non-fenced hogs on a 1000 acre ranch. We hunted tripod stands in the morning and evening and for the first 2-3 hours after dark, then we would try to spotlight for the rest of the night out of a truck (we never even seen a hog spotlighting but was told it is usually very effective). The Javelina hunting was done during the middle of the day when the hogs are not active so if you want to do both plan on not getting much sleep at all if any!
The one thing that I found out though is that two days is not enough time to hunt after driving down from Michigan, next year I would like to hunt for five days and concentrate more on bow hunting.

I'm glad you did as well as you did. It's been my experience that once hogs are pressured by hunting, you can flick a bic at 300 yards and hogs will disappear. In short, lights don't work, unless you see them and just try to run them with the truck until you can get close enough to bail out and take a shot at a fleeing hogs butt. It works, but you better be able to jump and shoot quick and, depending on the driver, can be both exciting and extremely dangerous up to that point.

I think, but haven't actually seen it in writing that the #1, 2, or 3(depends on whose version I believe) feral hog came off a creek not very far from me a couple of years back. But on my place, the ground is heavy clay and they wear their tusks off rooting around. Same thing in real rocky areas I'm told. Longest tusks I've seen are about 3 inches or so, sticking out.
