Wish I lived closer. 135 miles makes it tough to get up frequently.

crod888 what times you planning on heading out? I dont have anything going on. Can meet up just let me know what time and place.

I'll be leaving work around 2 and be in granger around 3. Wind is bad for below the dam so I'll be running around behind the PC

crod888, i was getting my gear situated and prepped so i could go link up with you and the First Sergeant just reminded me that we have a dinner that we are supposed to attend this evening. So i wont make it today. Definitely would rather be falling around and getting snagged by thorns at Granger than the dinner, but i guess i did tell her last week that we would go.

Knowing Chris, he's probably busy dragging a 350# boar to 7 right now.

Hogzilla: I know the place that guy was talking about. It has held hogs in the past.
Look at the pecan grove map on page 1. Just east of checkpoint 9 there is a gully that comes in from the NW. Where that gully meets the main spillway channel, on the north bank, is a pretty little grassy area under the trees. Tons of hog sign, heck you could smell the feces on a still day. Heavy game trail comes in from the west, on top of a beaver dam. The area used to be very productive, but as others on the thread have said, two years of drought, or something, seems to have reduced the pecan grove population. Back when the draw hunts were going on, COE kept a jeep trail mowed most of the way there, so it was an easy hike. Much harder to get to now.

I've been exactly where you are talking about. I saw tracks and even a spot where they were rooting, but that's about it. Gonna keep on till I find em. Thanks .

going in the morning... any advice??? I went to #7 Sunday, should I do that again or try somewhere else?

[hogzillahunter]

Brother, lemme tell ya - there are plenty of hogs at Granger for everybody! There's no reason for folks to be intentionally secretive when there's sounders of 20-50 running around.

I usually don't spit out the GPS coordinates of where I make a kill, but I have no problem relating the general area I was.

Good luck!

Thanks brother, I've got no better prospects at this time so I will be there like furniture in your house. Im gonna find em.
