Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Pig Hunt

Im looking for a 'guided' type pig hunt in Texas...lodging etc.

It seems there are more shysters in the pig business down there than anything else...

If not that, its outfits that apparently don't need the business cause they wont return calls or emails..


I am aware of Prickly Pear outfitters that Dan has lined up for the hunt, and can't wait to try them out.


Meanwhile Im open to any suggestions if you guys have any good experiences.


Thanks in advance.


Poobs

Surprised you haven't received any recommendations for musk ox outfitters in AK. Yet...

Holler at Bruce poobs....he's guiding now but leave him a msg.

ingwe, if you are really serious and not just joking, I have hunted pigs quite a few times with the Nail Ranch.. The ranch is not as big as it used to be, but I killed two eating hogs 2 years ago in Feb.. Didn't go last year but plan to this year..

I'll check them out. Thanks!

I'll be hunting predators with Bruce again in Feb. I assure you I'll be picking his brain!

About 8 of us hunted Northern Sky Ranch last winter. Its a small fenced ranch, about 300 acres. They trap the pigs elsewhere and bring them in before the hunt. Nice part of texas, nice people, cheap. We found them running a special on craigslist for 175$ per person for 2 days of hunting, lodging and grub.

Its not really hunting in the sense of how we hunt public land in Colorado. Everything is set up for you and you are pretty much guaranteed to shoot as many pigs as you want. If you are looking for something basic that will result in some full coolers i would recommend it. If you are looking for a more wild hunt it might not be what you're looking for.

Two links for you sir:

Great place and owner Joe is a great guy.

Thanks a bunch! He is right in the area I'll be hunting! I already sent him an email!!


Good info.

Did you ever call Ken Faires?

Apparently not...name doesn't ring a bell....


Did you recommend him in an earlier thread?

The ranch is 4500 acres in Zapata County in South Texas. I think he told me $200 including room and meals. Pigs are stupid thick there. Right now he's probably booking management whitetail hunts. In addition to hunting, he also does sport fishing in the Gulf. He's a good one to have on speed dial. His father is a good friend of mine. He owns the ranch and the boat, but he's turned over all the hunting and fishing to his son, Ken.

OK, Duly noted! Thanks a bunch! I will be calling him!

Yes. I found your inquiry in my messages. November 14 last year.

Thanks again! Already got him on a post-it note stuck to my desk!

Is pig hunting worth a crap in early May? Been getting mixed answers to that one.....

I couldn't answer that, but Ken sure can. That young man practically lives out there at the ranch.

10-4!

I just talked to Ken. He's waiting for your call.

You might want to talk to him about the deer hunt. Lots of BIG bucks out there.

I'm going to the Austin - Bastrop area April 10th to my nephews wedding and considered pig hunting, this has been helpful.
