Used to be full of porky pines and thousands of javalias when i lived in Alpine, are there hogs out there now?? Title: Re: Anybody hunt far west Texas? Post by: DSmith on December 13, 2011, 08:27:19 pm I got an invite to hunt the boy scout camp. 9000 acres. Supposedly it's INFESTED with hogs? But we all know how those hunts usually turn out. ;D
That's a long haul for me in my truck, pulling a trailer, not to mention my dogs being cooped up in the dog box for a 6hr drive. I told the man, I might not be the right person for the job but I might could find someone closer that could get the job done. It's still not a green light on the hunt, but if we get the green light, it might could be a honey hole to a local? I mean, I might like to try it once just for the chance to hunt that country, but I probably wouldn't do it more than once. Title: Re: Anybody hunt far west Texas? Post by: treeingratterrier on December 13, 2011, 09:27:10 pm Have you ever hunted javilinaa with your dogs??? Lots of peeps out there call them hogs, of course i could be wrong as heck, i lived there in 75 76 77 but thats eons ago, could be full of wild hogs but it only rains 5 inches a year out there. usually all the javilinas ate pear and roots to survie?? Used to some lions going thru the the park but i think the end of the mohair subdisty killed all the sheep and goat ranching out there. I would go anywhere its worth the drive lots to see out there, go back down to the park and cut thru some country and enjoy it.

But this fella swears there are hogs all over the place? I asked him about water sources and said they had water but didn't elaborate? It looks like it's pretty steep terrain and could be a tough place to run dogs?

He mentioned the fires and drought really took a toll on the hogs body condition. Title: Re: Anybody hunt far west Texas? Post by: scout1 on December 21, 2011, 01:43:35 am Ive hunted in the area - real rough - mesquite, cactus.
