Rebelbacker Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm going hog hunting in Texas next week and I'm curious if any here has hunted hogs before? I have no experience with this. I'm looking to bring as much meat back as possible so are smaller hogs better eating? Any tips or knowledge would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boise fan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've been told the hunting is better in Mississippi. They're pretty much defenseless when grazing at farmer's markets or open air pavilions. Gun ranges are good too. But they're not as defenseless. So skip the bars.

Thanks for clarifying that to him. I'm not sure if he understood the images I used. BCS is to Football what Fox News is to Journalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Maitlin Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm not a hunter, but I actually did go hunting for wild boar on a private estate in Tuscany (that's just how Big Ten grads roll) a couple of years ago. It didn't live up to the hype and essentially amounted to sitting in a blind in the rain for a couple of hours looking at deer we weren't allowed to shoot.

I thought wild pigs were hunted in thick cover and with dogs; at least that's how a few of my buddies hunt them in California. They say it's often somewhat dangerous for the dogs.

From what Tommaso told me, the boars are nasty creatures. He said to watch for the deer breaking from the clearing for the woods if the boar were approaching. I certainly wouldn't want to risk my dog hunting them. Perhaps if I had a team of hard, pipe-hitting Ridgebacks like I've seen on some South African farms.

I don't know what kind of dogs my friends use but I found this interesting page which explain a boar hunt using dogs. This says the catch dog will actually attempt to grab hold of the pigs ear! Freaking nuts and very dangerous; they wear protective vest. http://www.huntwildpig.com/the-1-best-hog-dogs-to-hunt-wild-boar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild boar taste much different than domestic pigs. Don't expect the same. Ask your guide to give to you tips on preparation of the meat. I havent hunted wild boar but I have eaten it.....huge difference in taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably welcome hog hunters. I read they're very destructive to the environment over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was asking if smalled hogs are better eating than big hogs. I've watched a ton of youtube videos but it is always nice to hear others opinions and experiences.
