I live about 12 miles west of Lawton. Boys want to go hog hunting. I've only seen one big ass hog out here where I live. Where's a good place to hunt guided or not in south west OK?

go toward the Red River. loaded with them.

I know the name of an outfitter by Duncan who is very affordable for hogs. size wise its a crap shoot, but you can shoot a lot of hogs in one day.
PM me.

Most of these "guided" or "paid" hog hunts are just companies leasing up all the land they can, buying hogs from trappers, unloading them onto the leased land and then charging folks silly money to shoot them.  It just doesn't appeal to me and it's probably the number two reason why the hog population problem keeps getting worse.  Obviously the pigs reproduction rate is the number one reason.   If landowners were allowing hunters and trappers to take hogs it would help control the population but they are getting paid too much by the folks leasing the land.  I can understand why landowners get nervous about allowing folks they don't know on their property to hunt pigs, it can be a huge headache if the hunters don't behave. However, the problem is only going to get worse, much, much worse the way things are going now.  You can't even make a dent in the population when too many people are making so much money by keeping the hog populations high for commercial hunting.

I saw a show recently about a hog trapper in Texas who sold some of his hogs (those that met the weight limits) to commercial meat processors but most of his pigs were purchased by the folks running "paid hunting" operations.  Consider all the hogs purchased and placed for hunting then add the natural numbers created by natural breeding and the only ones that win are the folks who profit by keeping pig populations on the rise.  There's always folks wanting to hunt hogs both locals and people from hogless states but no place to hunt because the land has been leased up for "for profit" hog hunting operations.  So these folks are either out of luck or forced to pay ridiculous fees to come onto leased land and shoot these stocked pigs.  Granted there are some places around the states where you can find feral hogs on public land but those areas are tiny in comparison to the overall locations where feral pigs are found and are usually well stocked with other hunters.  In my opinion, the biggest mistake the states made in the pig wars was to allow hog hunting to become a business.  

Or I could just be bitter because I don't have any access to a place to hunt hogs.
