Would not see why not. And if one fails, you still have 29 more, right?!  I'm also very interested. Doesn't matter when for me, this is something I'll take off work for. |

I have about oh 15 emails and a dozen calls into different places and should have some more info by tomorrow, I have been in discussion with several and I think the best idea is to narrow it down to saw 3 or four outfitters and we can take a vote or something, make it real democratic and such...
anyways ill keep ya posted. |

I'm definitely in! I'm clear for all of Oct/Nov except for the weekend of 10/22. Not trying to sway your decision or anything.
 ETA: Hope I'll have my Multi-Cam BDU's by then.

I'd be interested.
Aren't most places more interested in the deer hunters that time of year? I figured it would be difficult to arrange a hog hunt around opening weekend... |

HA, see I thought the same thing, however you would not believe the email replies I have gotten tonite alone from outfitters I emailed monday monring concerning a group of 10 hunters. Anytime you can fill a lodge or a camp, dont matter what your hunting, its all business. anyways, I will have a few things posted tomorrow concerning the new locations and pricing options which seem like good options for a group hunt. I dont know about yall, but I love to do my own cooking when I go hunting so I was looking at places where the food was taken care of by the hunters. hope thats not an issue. |

Update no.1
I spoke with a Mr. John Austin of the Briscoe Ranch, and he has what could potentially be best set up for a group hog hunt, the weekend would be Oct 21-22nd. His ranch is a little over 50,000 acers and the hunt includes our lodging meals and piggies! All we would have to bring is the drinks if we want any. The hunt includes two pigs per hunter and his success rates is as follows, every hunter has taken at least one pig, thus 100% and as of the 2004 year they had a 90% success rate for hunters taking 2 pigs. They have not had a hog hunt on the ranch since last march or early April. He told me they do primarily deer hunts but if we brought in 10 guys the place was ours for that weekend. They hunt hogs in a varitey of ways, hunt stalk, truck drive with rack bodies and corn roads. They night hunt and have stands over wattering holes and wallows. Mr. Austin also said that there would be a guide for every 3 guys and a vechile for every 3 guys as well included with a guide to drive for the driven hunts. The hunt price is $475 dollars at the Briscoe Ranch and again that includes lodging, meals, 2 hogs and cleaning. Mr. Austin said a 200 dollar deposit was all that was needed to hold a spot. The remainder is paid aftert he hunt has taken place. In terms of distance, from Dallas he is about 6 hours away. I was referred to Mr. Austin from a long time hunter and rather well known hog hunter on another web site. Accurate Reloading. His opperation is top notch according to others. Anyways, what do you guys think? I got several emails and calls back, but Mr. Austin's opperation sounded the best for our situation, Im still have a few more calls im waiting on, this is the first that sounded the best thus far. edited cuz my spelling is brutial |

Update No.2
Just got off the phone with Mr. Brewer of Stone Creek Ranch. He also would be interested in taking on a group of 10 hunters the weekend of Oct 21-23rd. His ranches web site is http://stonecreekoutfitters.net/home.htm The hunt includes our lodging, stands and a kitchen and pit/grill for prepping food. His hunt includes the oppertunity to take 4 hogs a person, but as he said that rarely occurs. He said that most people get between 1 or 2 hogs but that occasionly 4 do fall to one gun. The cost of this hunt would be $200 a person and he wants $100 down to hold a spot. He is about 5 hours outside of Dallas, Past Austin heading west. Again, his set up sounded fairly good for a group hunt. Check out his web site, especially the map with the stands linked and pics of them, I thought that was a great idea. Anyways just another one I liked and thought I would mention. |

Update no.3 This guy is yet another option which sounded like a possiblity, again feed back is always helpful.
"COLD I CAN DO A HUNT FOR YA , $200 a day 12 noon friday to 12 noon Sunday and you cook you own food. But every thing is on the ranches to cook with.my ranches are in Laredo VERY PRIVET You will get 2 hog 1 javelina all the coyote you like and we can work out something good on cats. We have baits for the long shooters (snipers) bow baits and ones about 70 yards. We will do a lot of stalking mid day. And we are loaded with hog. if you like to knife them I can get really good dogs. I don't run dog on the ranches we will be stalking or stand hunting will go to one of my other ranches. George" I am going to call him back tomorrow as I missed his calls but got his email reply. Anyone brave enought to try it with a knife? |

Yes, you will need to get a hunting license. They are available at BPS.

Posted: 8/17/2005 2:16:37 PM EDT

The safe bet would be to get one. But the law in Texas is if you are the landowner or landowners agent, you do not need a hunting license.(for pigs) It is vague.......so I would go ahead and get one. Be sure to just get the small game license, not a full hunting license. |

Sorry about the delay in replies, I have been rather busy with school and trying to prep for law school, I dont think we will be able to arrange the hunt this fall, from my end, however, if someone else would like to pick up the ball on this one, I can send them the contact info on the options and you can take it from there. it would be alot of fun, I just am afraid I wont be able to make it happen from my end now with my schedule. sorry guys, hopefully in the spring we can arrange something like this agin like last spring.

I would pick up the ball and run with it, if I weren't in school as well. I know excuses are lame, but I really just don't have the time to do it. Sorry guys. I do think that it would be a good idea to still go, if someone else did the leg work
