Anybody interested in a really good time, great food and the desire to kill TONS of hogs, contact Ray Atkinson. I have booked 3 hog hunts with Ray so far. I have resrvations for the next 10 years at the Venado Grande Ranch in Texas, through Ray Atkinson.

you will see the group I was with last January. Although there are 19 dead hogs in that picture there were actually more shot. Some had already been skinned and butchered before that picture was taken.

BTW, I am the tall guy in the middle with the Santa beard,

I should add that the staff was first rate. You won't find guides that are more helpfull. You can kill as many hogs as you want for the same low price, unlike a lot of places that charge for every hog killed.

Personally I saw 52 hogs last January in 2 nights.

This was a 2 day hunt. Thats a LOT of bacon shot in 2 days.

I will be back to the Venado Grande Ranch in Jan 2004 along with several friends.

Another thing I really like is they do NOT book other hunts along with yours. When you book the ranch for your party, the ranch is all yours. The first year I went there was just 2 of us and nobody else. Last year there were 13 hunters. This coming Jan there are 6 of us.

Give Ray a call for a great hog hunt. He will treat you right.

You shot them at night? Doesn't sound very sporting.

Hi,
I believe it is common to shoot hogs at night as they are quasi-nocturnal. The same goes for bushpigs in Africa, you might luck out and catch one during the day or you can hunt him at night.

Major,
If you have a problem with shooting hogs at night, its legal btw, then we will let you shoot them during the day, you'll still get hogs.
