 . Got to make a trip down over the weekend to hunt with a buddy about an hour south of Witchita Falls and gotdamn there’s a lot of pigs there! and some nasty ass coyotes…. And boy am I jealous. If I wasn’t married I’d be trying to find a job there tomorrow. We had upwards of 40 pigs and 5 coyotes in 2 nights for 2 shooters and that was a “slow night” for them  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I just moved north of Houston in Montgomery county and Im having the hardest time trying to find someone to blast hogs with.
I realize hunting at night is inherently dangerous, but I am no a stranger to night hunts. I guess its a trust issue (understandably so). I have NODs, thermal, airborne thermal etc but no where to enjoy the toys at locally.  The only time i get to hunt is when the BIL is able to go off to his family ranch 2 hrs away, or i have to travel 6+ hours to my family ranches. I just want a place where I can call ahead of time and enjoy a Fri/Sat night hunt to relax and not be forced to pay $500 per person. Theres a hog issue and people want to gouge others to eradicate their problems. |

I used some Ohio local pages to find a few decent guys to hunt with and there’s no way anybody can be as social awkward as I am |

"use aircraft (including drones, except by activity-specific permit) to hunt, locate (including wounded animals), manage, harass, drive, trap or photograph any wild animal." |

I thought that this thread was about politicians (I saw "pigs and coyotes")

I don't think that applies to vermin. I know they hunt hogs from helicopters around here. |

Be careful what you wish for OP. You don't want those wild boar around here.
Be very glad you have to travel to hunt them. |

I live in a rural area west of Wichita Falls. Got up yesterday morning and found the tracks of a sow and several shoats that had walked within feet of my house. Shot this one 100+ yds. off the front porch a few weeks ago.
 Just a few minutes ago took a shot at a coyote that's been in my chickens. Just another day in paradise. |

My sister and BIL are in Iowa Colony. I don't think he hunts except down here with me. We've been trying to get my niece a hog the past couple of trips, but she's still a bit selective on her shots.

Just rub it in some more I live about an hour south of Wichita Falls and I trap enough hogs in the fall to finance most of my hunting and shooting habit. I have killed over thirty in the last month within a thousand yards of my back patio. Some within a hundred yards. Life is good..... |

There are people in that area (I lived in Conroe for 15 yrs, moved in May of 22) who will let you hog hunt with them.
