"OFFICIAL" Granger Hog Hunting Thread

[FishnHunt]

Muzzy, thanks for sharing that awesome story. What a trip! Sorry to hear you lost the hog. I shot a large hog in october at ten FEET, in its bed and I had bad results with that one too. They are tough critters.
Good luck with your hunts

I am still quite bummed out about loosing one it’s been awhile since I have lost one. I did everything I could in order to try to recover it, even called in a friend to help me look but, still disappointed hope everybody that heads out this weekend has good luck, it would be great to hear how everybody did. One plus from this mornings hunt was that I did see a good set of numbers of pigs I was really worried that the helicopter took care of my favorite past time for this year but today sight was promising one negative is that I had to tromp all through “the tunnels” probably messed up the hunting spot for a few days but I guess at the end of the day your never going to kill a pig sitting at the house and tomorrow is always another day. Just frustrating when you work so hard to get a shot and it doesn’t all quite come together I guess it is just part of it.

Crazy story Muzzy. I haven't had the opportunity to hunt any pigs yet but I have heard similar stories before of people being chased by them. I'm actually thinking of getting a .40 and taking it with me when I go, just in case. lol

Note: carrying a pistol while bowhunting on Granger unless you have a Texas-issued concealed-carry permint will result in a fine. I recognise many folks say they would rather pay the fine instead of the doctor, but just thought I should mention it.

P.S I have met a 250 lb sow in the dark at 5 ft and completely understand the thought behind going in armed. But remember, there are always trees!

didn't get out this eve, most likely will be mon morning . ...

any idea what the fine is??? I carried today cause I had my wife with me. Found only one hog. Most of the area I have been hunting is now dead, and underwater. They have moved off to another area. The river looks crazy it is so over full. There were some islands we use to stop and rest while kayak fishing. They are underwater and now I seen one spot where the river has pushe thru land to create another island. Pretty cool to see the power of mother nature. Also found several tree stands and or bait spots. Pretty close to primative camp so I am thinking the guys are getting ready to the weekend. I know I am. If the camp is not underwater.

although Granger is a state WMA, it is on Federal property, and the state concealed handgun permit is not valid. possession of a handgun at Granger is potentially a federal offense as well as a state charge of Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon. its a class a misdemeanor, jail time and fine.

Did anybody have any luck this weekend?
