"OFFICIAL" Granger Hog Hunting Thread

[Granger455]

So how do you get set up as a stand by on a deer hunt? read it some where on here but that was 15 pages back atleast.

show up at the checkstation on the morning of the hunt orientation for the week that you want to hunt. they throw your name in a hat and draw. its best to call TPWD in advance, they can usually tell you if there are any standby spots. 512 859 2838

Me and my son are heading to Granger this morning. We have never been there, so this should be fun. Maybe a fact finding mission. We will probably go to San Gabriel.

Is there any primitive camping there? It isn't that far from me, but would rather not drive everyday.

We did a short hunt at gate #6. They have mowed some strips there. Didn't see any animals but saw some deer signs and some hog tracks. We they went to look at Gate #7 nice looking place but didn't see animals there either, but had a great time with my son.

That is what it is about Ghost. Dawg There sure is, google fox bottom park. It is pretty cool place. Hike or boat in only. No drive up.

Can you use hog pipes?

Hi Everyone

Hey everyone been reading the thread for awhile now and decided to join. I live in Round Rock and go out to Grainger alot just fishing. I am trying to get into hog huntin out there and have been gathering alot of knowledge. Now i think im ready to just take off walking and see what happens. If anyone has any suggestions on a good first spot to try or if anybody doesn't mind a tag along it would be cool. Hunted my whole life just have kids now and cant afford a lease anymore. Anyway good huntin to all and i look forward to meeting some new folks and gettin outside.

I was in the second postcard group, when I was leaving on Saturday about 11.00 am I went by the hunter check station to leave my permit (i did not get any thing) I checked the bucket and there were two jaw bones in it, so someboby was seccessful.

I was in the second draw and did not score, lots of deer, but nothing close enough to shoot. I met one guy out there a few times and he finally scored. We hunted out of 8.

Did you go all the way down the peninsula? I am planning on hitting up Sore Finger in the morning. Would be nice to see something.

Man, I can't wait to get out and do some hunting. These deployments put a serious damper on hunting.
