Allen in MT Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 One of the to do's on my bucket list is to go hog hunting down texas way or where ever it is that they have an abundance of them running around. Have read where Texas has prety much lifted all restrictions on hunting them because there are so many. Anyone else on this forum hunt hogs?? places to go that aren't commercial, anyone of this form have hogs that need to be thinned out?? or want to go hunting hogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Allen, in my younger days we{my family} used to hunt wild Pigs on the coast range here in Kalli. But its been a long time, friend of mine{now dead} held the record for a long time here. A 700 pound bore, His name was George Fisher, and that record was back in the 60's. texas has little pig compared to Calif. Grubstake I had to look at my old news paper clipping, I had the weight wrong. It was 700 pounds. Been a long time.

mn90403 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hogs are a problem everywhere. They destroy a lot of natural species and you can kill as many of them as you want in most states.You want a big hog? Here is a big one!http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/05/26/alabama-boy-kills-1051-pound-monster-pig-bigger-than-hogzilla/ Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Furness Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yup that ole photo-shopped 'photo' has really made the rounds over the years. I have seen various 'hunters' associated with that 1000 pound hog. Seems it had 9 lives and at least 9 different hunters using bow or crossbow or rifle or handgun have been claimants. I surprised no one has come forward claiming to get it with a spear! Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes! My son amd I have taken several in both Texas amd New Mexico.Texas is almost ALL private land so ypu will need a spot to hunt them. New Mexico has plenty of hogs on public land.P.M.me if you want to discuss details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
