That's a pretty good hog...225 kg (500 pound) wild hogs are not uncommon around the States.

Forgot to mention,.. you can also call me ( the guide ) with any questions or concerns, for booking ...etc... Carlos - (210)836-6892 .......... thanks !

It's one of the better public land spots, definitely need to spot and stalk - you would be wasting your time posting.  The ATV side gets a lot of traffic from both the hog hunters and duck hunters, although, like anything else, if you're willing to walk further than the crowds you can find some "less" pressured hogs.  They move around alot on the property so try to concentrate around the bamboo patches and along the river sleuths.  Use satelitte imagery to plan your hunt and be sure to hunt into the wind, or you will be wasting your time.

Good luck

it is cheaper if you skin your pig first and quarter it,at most places, i allways just leave the skin on mine my processor only charges 20 dollars extra and the time is worth the money for me, if i shoot multiple hogs then i will skin them out

do you travel, located near Kerrville, if so how much?  Over run with hogs and government has cut down on flying in our area due to budget cuts.... contact me at callcottranches@yahoo.com

All though I absolutely do not want me or anyone else to wound or kill any wildlife and not consume it, this is one time that I for one understand and do not object to the wholesale killing of these hogs. I have seen what damage they can do and have heard horror stories from land owners. If you kill them and don't want the meat, The buzzards and varments will thank you------------Kill them all !!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the San Marcos area, offer hunting hogs with gen 3 nightvision and thermal.  Can almost gurantee you some shots.  See them all the time.  you can contact me @ www.bn31bn@hotmail.com Am charging $125/person for a hog but fully guided and you use all my toys.

Because public land is on National Forest property, there are STATE and FEDERAL rules and regulations.  You must have a valid state hunting license as well as the Annual Public Hunting Permit to hunt on U.S.F.S. lands AND obey the additional restrictions which apply to the national forests.

In order to understand both, you need to visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife web site and the U.S.F.S. web site.

You may hunt from Sept 1 through Aug 31 of the following year and may take any species which is in season for the specific county in which you are hunting.  For instance, the Sam Houston National Forest covers three counties, Walker, San Jacinto and Montgomery.  All three counties have the same open seasons for exactly the same species so you can't accidentally kill an animal in one county and then traverse over a county line in which the animal is not in season.

There is no hunting allowed at night without specific permission by the game warden covering the area you want to hunt so make sure you receive prior approval if you want to hunt hogs or fur bearing animals at night with artificial light.

I hope this helps.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly and I can answer most of your questions or provide a source to get your question answered.
