CrazyhorseconsultingWe are still seeing plenty of hogs, still running a total of 14 spin feeders and have 13 blinds over looking them.
Our groups that were here in March killed a total of 15 hogs, all 120 pounds or larger, missed a few shots and lost a couple of wounded animals.

jdunlapmoCrazyhorse, what type of success rate does that 15 hog total add up to?
A couple of friends and I are looking for something to hunt in Winter 2013 / Spring 2014, and the price looks good. Would love some more details on the hunt.
Maybe PM them to me?
Thanks,
Jeremy

K EvansA friend and I had a deer lease west of Olney a couple of miles from the Brazos River for years and it was pretty much overrun with hogs, lots and lots of hogs in the area.

CrazyhorseconsultingWe see lots of hog sign and quite a few hogs. The guys that go out and really stay at it, using rifle mounted lights are usually successful at either getting a pig or at least a shot. The problem is that they sometimes hunt until midnight or later to get those shots.
We make no promises of any kind on our hog hunts, guided or semi-guided simply because hog movement is so unpredictable. We have a group of hunters from Colorado that come down twice during the Feb.-Mar. time frame and a group from Nebraska that also comes down during that same period.
They hunt and hunt hard, I think this was the fourth year for both groups and some of them always get a pig or two, nearly all get shots and sometimes a pig or two is hit and gets away. If they feel it was a good hit and want us to, the next morning we will go out and take a dog if necessary and try to find the animal. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.
We run feeders year round and have various type blinds/stands for our hunters use. We also have some cropland, that if we have gotten the rain will have wheat growing on it and those can be spotlighted at night also.
The success rates depend first on the amount and time of hog movement and the ability of the hunters to adjust to the situation and take advantage of any shot opportunity presented.
The best times for those hunts are after deer season ends, usually the first Sunday, in January and before Spring Turkey season begins, usually the last weekend in March. Hunts can be arranged after Spring Turkey closes but then there is the problem of the heat and getting/keeping the meat cool and the ever present presence of rattlesnakes.
We prefer to book hunts at least a week apart, simply to let the hogs calm back down and get into some sort of routine. I can't really think of anything more I could add in a pm.
Hope this answers some of the questions.
