Spring–Summer 2025 Hog Hunt Report

The wild hogs are currently experiencing a population boom. Like any other wild species, the population has very fruitful years and other years when the number of young is lower. We have seen excessive numbers of small hogs/piglets this year. Typically, we see sows dropping piglets January through March. The trail cams have been full of hogs. The number of hunters coming through has been increasing, but the hog population doesn’t seem to be decreasing. We have also picked up some new properties near the river that are absolutely loaded with hogs. This gives us access to what could be essentially an unlimited supply of wild pigs if managed properly. We have been getting a good number of trophy sized boars on the hunts. We’ve had over 30 taken for taxidermy in the first half of this year, with plenty more that clients chose not to keep. We expect this year to be the busiest in our business’s history, and I see no reason why we can’t maintain a 100% success rate throughout the year.

Feeding patterns are starting to shift to mature grasses and seeds, and the hogs are currently hitting the corn piles in large numbers. They’re rooting for grubs and roots as usual and are hitting some of the newly plowed hayfields that are beginning to grow. Water sources will be a heavy target in the coming months as Texas summer comes into full swing.

Fall 2024 Hog Hunt Report

The hogs have been moving extremely well at night, and we have also noticed them feeding an hour before and after dark as the daily temperatures decline. The acorns have fallen, and the hogs are THICK in the oak bottoms along the river. We opened a pig stomach that was packed completely full of acorns. Trail cameras are filled with pictures of good groups of wild hogs and some nice loan boars. It is also peak breeding season, and the big boars are on the move. We’ve taken some real trophy boars in the last few weeks. During the night hunts, we are hearing the hogs fighting and squealing well before we see them. We’ve had great luck calling in the hogs since they are ready to fight or breed. This creates a one of a kind experience when a boar runs in toward the call. We have plenty of hogs to accommodate all of our repeat Fall/ Winter customers and new ones, as well. Availability is getting limited, but the hogs are plentiful. We’ve had a 100% success rate for months now!

Summer 2024 Hog Hunt Report

We’ve been doing a ton of scouting lately, and the hog movement is as good as we have seen in a while. We are spotting larger sounders, and the Texas hog hunting is as good as it gets right now! The hogs have really been hitting the creeks and water holes, as the lack of rain is leaving the area dry. The hogs have been in the hay fields at night, now that the Bahia grass seeds are matured. This is a great food source for wild hogs in the summer months. We are also getting call after call from landowners who are having hogs come into their yard. The irrigated grass is easy rooting compared to the hard dry ground elsewhere. The thermal hog hunts have been very productive, and we expect this to continue throughout the summer. We have been making big gear improvements to prepare for the upcoming Fall season.
