mark,
was looking like a good deal till i read no a/c or helios!!!!!
jr.
They always screw it up for somebody...
Alot of Hogs feed at night. They have figured out that it is safer. Just like flyfishing, the bigger Brown Trout and other big fish come out at night,where there is pressure. Only once have I come accross hogs on a remote strech of Brazos River during the day. Not that I am looking for them,mostly looking out for them.

Agreed Mark, I have a friend going out at night with his buddies and Gen 3 nightscopes and they are hammerin down, but I have seen quite a few during early morning and evening flights. Wintertime when the leaves are off the trees, early morning is good.
You will like this site Tacticalhogcontrol.com, I been wanting a AR-15 with Gen3 Night vision or thermal scope. A silencer would be nice.
there is a bird from the state north of the semi-big one on the gulf, color red and white, (and has some coyote accents on it) that legend tells all hogs "tremble at the sound of the plane!"
ok, back on the web, we been busting with snow... 10.5 feet in 16 days, turned to rain now, so sanding up a storm...
I don't know where you've been me lad, but I see you won first Prize!

Got permission to shoot pigs in SJ and Laura's favorite pig spotting field. Huge field where the Brazos and Clear Fork Rivers come together.

I just built a new hog gun. Started with a Colt AR15 lower, a DPMS Panther raised upper (titanium bolt/fireing pin, etc) fluted SS barrel, carbon fiber forearm, collapsible stock. Then for the best part... I mounted an EOtech EXPS3 and a PVS 14 and a ELR Torch-V IR for the night and a 2.5X8 Leopold for the day all on LaRue mounts. I had Springfield do a sweet trigger job.
The PVS14 can detached quickly and head mounted on my helmit. I can't wait to go pig hunting!
Mark I will be at the show probably on Saturday.
Been shootin' the heck out of them for years with a Marlin .308 but prefer an AK in the day so I can throw lots of lead at the big groups. Our ranch in Mötley County, Texas was downright infested with hogs till the drought hit. Now we only kill a few a month vs several every day(and thats not hunting them, just shooting them as we see them doing chores). Major nuisance but lots of fun to shoot! Thanks for the info, didn't know we might actually win something for shooting them.
58, I have been there Tying flies ,beleive it or not. For Flyfishing.
N5126H- Oh baby, sounds like what I want.
Bigrock, I was going today.Are you driving or flying. I have 3200'concreat runway in back yard.2ts6.
Heading to Palestine, TX to do a little Hog hunting this weekend!
fadec,you will be close to Bigrock.
Sat. I am suppose to be below PK Dam,Flyfishing for trout. Only 20cfm,s not good. The Sand Bass are running South of Carthage on Sabine River. Dams are not releasing .Drought conditions. I will see alot of hogs close to river.Early in am.
My buddy has a place bordering the Trinity River just SW of the Palestine Airport.
Sounds perfect. Plenty of acorns and water.I have a friend that lives on the PVT airport on Lake Palestine, where the SeaPlane base is.
Mark I will be driving up Friday evening and attending Saturday. I have plenty of hogs on my place too, but I think the drought had an effect on the numbers. Or I may be seeing less right now because I just cut some timber and moved some of them out for a while.
Mark do you know Rodger Scott that works in the fly shop at Cabelas. He is a friend that has been to my place to fly fish.
Bigrock, I have not check with TP&W, to see how all the fires affected the wildlife. Where I was going Sat. PK Lake, well you know what happened there South of Graham,Tx.
biggame.org , is site for Dallas Safari Club.
This must be the Anna,Tx store. No, I might if I saw him. My friend Jim,goes Wed.night to ty flies there. Jim is a Dallas Flyfisher Member.It is 62miles from my house. Have not been to there store yet. I am a FWFF member. You might know Bill Ward and Doc Bennett -vet. from Mexia, Tx. We go to his Quarry for 3 days of flyfishing ,skeet shooting ,etc. Great guys. We pay him for letting us come down. Doc Bennett has been resetting Axis Deer legs all summer from them stepping in cracks.
We used to bowfish gator gar in the trinity near Corsicana. Where are you guys from that?
Steve i am 60 miles east of the river. I have done the gar thing there too. Here is a pic of a catfish run we made there a few years ago on one night. Biggest was 65#.

Five years ago , me and a few Flyfishers were the only flyfishers tying there. This year, Alaska Rainbow Bay Resort, Bearclaw Lodge, Holliday Air , Inc, Bushwhack Alaska, Fisheads from San Juan River, NM., So. America, New Zeland as well as Hunting Lodges from ALaska to Zimbabya. Largest in America next to L.A., Ca. 6 hrs and I did not see it all. All the Trophy animals and rifles, shot guns from 175,000.00 and who knows how much. Alot of AR-10, being sold.you would want to see. Great show
Tactical Hog Control , Clark Osborne was there, he knows how to hunt hogs.. They use Helmet with night vision, and your choice of thermal or night vision. No limit. as many as you want.
I saw them at there booth too. Pretty awesome stuff.
It is not fair
Let them get in your yard one night and you won't care about being fair.
I live on the Brazos River and I get a big ol' hog in my hog trap several times a week, more than I will ever be able to eat. My freezer is full and I end up having to give most of it away. I just saw about 30 or so head just across the river from me today, they sure tore the ground up pretty good over there by the time they moved on. I bait 'em with deer corn soaked in diesel fuel, they seem to love that stuff. Gonna have to take up the hog trap pretty soon, there's just too many of them, and I get tired of having to deal with them so often.
Too bad it dosent blow up when they bite into it... hope Homeland security in their infinite wisdom dosent find out, they will think you are trying to blow up something. Word is if you feed them range meal with high salt content, it swells their brain and they kick over...course, other ways are a lot more fun.
They are bringing good money around here alive. I think they are going to an Asian country.

The price per pound 3 years ago, live was higher. Now less than 1.00#. There is a place in Grand Praire that sold the meat for 10.00# to europe,3 years ago.
Desperado Pilot, Clark Osborne at Tactical Hog Control, 936 581 2256. Gets 500.00 a night and all the hogs you can shoot. He might be looking for other places to go . Might be worth a shot.
Free range pork, it's whats for dinner

I have a friend, That smokes the hogs. It is so good. It is hard to stop. Lance ,s dad was crew chief for Pappy Boington. He wants evenone to know ,his dad was nothing like the TV guy.
Wild hog feed at Graham?????
And Eaton, we been giving you salt as much as we can, so that sounds like an old wive's tale
I don't know where you've been me lad, but I see you won first Prize!
