Yes. Will need snake boots. Everything that grows has a thorn on it. Hunted there many years ago once with Cgascsh. I believe he is from around there.

Used to hunt there a lot. had a ranch down there we hunted but the oil boom put an end to that and a death in the family caused the ranch to be divide and we gave it up. ditto on what jhs said. we caught some good hogs there. depending on where you hunt be careful of gators. Choke Canyon lake is in Mc Mullin county and has a lot of gators. Also check the tanks for gator sign because they travel and sometimes are in the tanks. If you use atv make certain you have good tires because the terrain is tough on tires.

I hunted a lot in Webb County to the west of Tilden. that area is very rough. hogs grow more teeth than body sometimes. you need to watch out with them javelinas as well. they'll kill dogs faster than a big boar. also carry lots of water with you. even at night in the summer, it will be almost 100 degrees right at dark. them dogs need lots of water in that dry country. if you have dogs that can strike on a regular basis out in that brush country, they'll find pigs anywhere.

Pretty much what everyone else has said. I've ran dogs a hand full of times around Tilden, but I've been out there to catch cows quite a bit. Wear some leggins if you have some. Cowboy'n or huntin, if I'm in that country, I'm wearin leggins. Snake boots or double stitched stove tops because you are going to run across some rattlers for sure. I'd keep some dex on hand for the dogs just in case they come across one and don't get out the way fast enough. The boars do tend to get pretty toothy for their size out there. Be mindful of where you water your dogs because of the gators, like everyone else said. If your dogs do jump some javelinas, try to call em off as soon as you can. I've seen those suckers do plenty of damage. They don't fight fair. The ones in the back of the group tend to fall out of pack, make a loop, come from behind and start ripping at the dogs hind legs while they are preoccupied with the rest of the group. Plenty of tarantulas that look like they could eat a cat, if you have a thing against spiders. They just go about their business, but plenty of times I've gotten off the horse to walk a foot, and happen to look down and see one the size of my foot, walking across my boot. I'd run some python ear tags on your collars as well, ticks get pretty bad out there. Bring tweezers because you're going to be pullin mesquite, briar, and cactus out of yourself and the dogs more than likely. Call if you need a hand, I'm not to far from Tilden lol. Good luck!
