Pigs off 161 and Las Colinas area....

[SPDKLZ]

I was driving from the Denton area today (after spending a couple of hours shooting my new Halon 32 at CCR and checking houses) about 12:30p and as I was heading south on 161 between Belt Line and Valley View Lane I look to my right and see a sounder of about 15-20 pigs cruising the swollen river banks.

This area is Sam Houston Trail Park and if you know it, you know it floods with any amount of rain. I had my range finder, so I quickly exited and reversed as far as I could. I ranged them at 265 yards. I had my bow with me and was wishing hunting was allowed there because I would certainly have stalked them.

Does anyone know the area and where is the closest place which allows bow hunting?

I don't have pics because they were too far for my phone camera to capture anything.

Yep. I've seen several pigs up there several times. No bow hunting anywhere near. Grapevine lake would be the nearest hunting area.

I drive that stretch a couple times a week, I've never seen any, but figured they gotta be there. Cool!

No hunting in that area. Worked for City of Farmers Branch and supposedly one of the park guys put a trap down there and caught some good ones but this was several years back. He was told to remove the trap by somebody either with Farmers Branch or Irving.
