TX Hog Hunt (turned into a deer hunt)


Recommended Posts

So my business partner, my dad and I went down to an associates place just outside of Meridian TX. He's got a real nice lease of about 3500 acres in the northern part of hill country. Our purpose was to have my dad hunt for a nice buck, and my buddy and I would shoot pigs.

 

If you watch the news at all, you'd know that it rained a little out there this past week. As they tell me, this lake (120 acres and stocked with 10lb bass, which I did NOT get to fish!) only over flows about every 20-30 years. It's 100 years or so old, and this is the most anyone still alive has ever seen of it.

This place was amazing. Absolutely fell in love with this country....

We couldn't (easily) get to the ridge line in the background to look around due to the flooding... but I wish we could've... would have some awesome pictures.

 

This ranch has been on a management program for about 5 years now, so their starting to see some good populations.... great diversity here too.

Like I said, we were there to hunt hogs but the flooding had them all over the place and some of the better spots were now rivers. My buddy did manage to take this small gal though:

I didn't get a shot at any pigs so I took a buck out of this group:

So all in it was a pretty successful trip IMO. And by the way, the new BassPro in Memphis is worth a visit!
