Hi,

Just moved from washington state about 8 months ago....Been itching to go hog hunting since I got here.  I have NO idea where to go, I dont know anyone with land yet.  Anyone near austin willing to let me hunt their land and maybe give me some pointers?  Hope to hear from ya. I hunt bow and rifle so either works!!!

Thanks so much

Are you looking strictly for a free hunt or are you willing to hunt with an outfitter.

Thanks for the reply....WELL, ideally free hunts would be the best for my very low budget.  Ive heard that there are ranch owners\farmers that even actually pay you to get the hogs off their land....now as nice as getting paid to hunt would be, thats not a big concern.  I just want to hunt!  My main goal is to get meat for my family as well as the fun of it.  I would actually LOVE to have an outfitter or guide since I have never hunted hogs before, but it all depends on the pricing.  Hope to hear more from you.  THANKS AGAIN

Looking to book a boar / feral pig hunt for free if possible. From what I understand these are considered nusiance animals. Call me the cleaner:) I would like to find a ranch/farm who wants some pigs hunted down. Not sure about season, fees for license or anything else but if you don't mind, I'll grab a few respectful, responsible pals and we'll take them off your land/hands.

We live in MN and will drive down, camp or or hotel/motel. We can even feed ourselves, just point us to the pasture or whatever! email me or visit my website to contact me http://www.michaelrswan.com

BTW, if you have a ranch and want to do a trade for marketing / website design services, I'll do you right. I'm a pro. Last one I did is http://www.goiwx.com - check the quality! Thanks in advance!!

I started my search on this website right here:

I have not been hog hunting yet.  Only thing I know is what I read off of these sights.   www.texasboars.com   is a good resource. 

From what I have read, if you are a stranger to them most landowners are reluctant to having someone run around with a gun even if they are harvesting hogs.  And, you really have to bait and wait for the hogs (again, from what I read).  Even though hogs are everywhere they are not necessarily where you are when you are looking for them. 

Dont know if I am right about any of this.  To me, buying a hunt with a year round feeder and the land gets 'worked' for hogs is the only way to go if you do not have land or someone who 'works' the land for hogs.  I know guys at work who go hog hunting on friends land and even though they are overrun with hogs they just walk around and sit and see nothing.  I believe they dont care if they kill anything... they just want to get away from the wefe and kids. 

I am willing to go somewhere and pay.  Will cost more to drive to land over and over and over and never see anything than it is to pay for a hunt.

Well guys unfortunately I can't do the free hunts.  I do however off hunting packages.  My hog hunts are $500 for 3days/2nights all your lodging and meals and unlimited hogs.

Let me know if you're interested.
