I am afraid that I will not be able to get the hunters needed for this lease. People as well as myself just don't have the spare money's to spend on the place. We will just have to wait and see, I have until April to get the hunters required, one can only hope.

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

I have a 4,200 acre lease in Crockett county near Ozona, Texas and am looking for 10 management minded hunters for a long term year round lease. Please contact me if you are interested. Thanks William ----( e-mail /  mekrto@hotmail.com )

Where's the lease at and how many acres?

Nope.  Pardon me for a little skepticism, but it looks to me like another (not so) indirect swipe at hunters.  On one hand A & E makes money through the sensationalism a show like that initially garners - few people know how rough hog hunting can get.  On the other hand A & E takes advantage of those who will just about sell themselves out for what they get paid to do a show like that, in a sense mocking their excesses and at the same time labeling the rest of us Joes who just love to hunt. 

I have had no problem. I have hunted SHNF for years.  I actually hunt an area at 149 and 1375.  I have never seen anything wrong.  Its kinda stupid to grow marijuana in a forest where there is year round hunting.  I think the growers found that out this year. I figure most of the illegal growing is done in national forest and parks where hunting is not allowed. Also I never leave the truck without being armed. 

I read this somewhere hope they are right, we hunt out of Wall.

If the dry conditions continue through the rest of the summer we will see poor fawn recruitment this fall, whitetail will probably readily come to deer feeders as a result of less than desirable range conditions and hunters should have pretty good harvest rates,” he said. The deer hunting should be good this year, but poor fawn production could hurt hunters down the road. “Landowners and managers need to encourage hunters to meet their harvest goals for the ranch, regardless of drought or wet conditions.”
