Just woundering if i am alone on my problem. I hunt every Native Texas creature i have access to, ie. Dove, duck, goose, deer, coyote, rabbit ect.... but i get really bored, really fast and have no desire to hunt these species HARD. But then theres hogs, I love getting a hog in the truck any and every way possible. Its just a rush for me and i love it. Consider every day giving up all other hunting to stick with just hogs. Anyone else out there?

I'm with you, I turned down several good"deer"leases this year to take one in a known hog infested area. Needless to say, my feeders definitely dont have pens around them.

I'm in the same boat,deer hunting since 1986. Have a lease that is CALLED a deer lease, but it's a hog lease with a few deer. Been on it for years, killed 1 nice buck, lots of hogs.300 ac. and we kill about 2-3 deer a year as a group.

I don't have a hog problem. I see hogs I try my best to shoot hogs, no problem. I've got to a point I'd rather have pig meat than deer. In season I'll take a deer but I'm starting to think hogs are tougher to hunt than deer.
My wife must be a cross between a Indian and a bulldog. When she's not on the warpath, she's sitting on her butt growling.

I would have to say I am addicted as well I dont get buck fever anymore but you let a big bore or a large sounder (group) with a couple nice porkers walk in and my heart dang near jumps out of my throat. Just love killing me some pigs. I just wish I knew more people that might be willing to include me in on some of the fun. Would love to get involved with a group of guys that does it frequently.Lord knows its funner and more healthy than sitting on my backside watching the cowgirls.If anyone has any or needs any help with eratication please PM me.
 I love the Great State of Texas and the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, "All things are possible through Him that strengthens me!"

Thank goodness...I'm not the only one. My name is J.R. (Hi, J.R.!) and I am a hog hunting addict. My friends will agree...I'm pretty obsessed with it. Like so many others in this thread, I've hunted deer since I was big enough to tote Dad's .243. Still enjoy it, still find it rewarding. But sitting in a stand hearing a bunch of hogs work their way in makes my blood run hot and the adrenaline rush to my limbs.
Right now, nothing I hunt gives me the thrill that reaching full draw on a big boar does, followed closely by seeing the crosshairs of my scope settle on one's ear. There's just something about putting a good bow or rifle hit on one of those things...
Still seeking that one, awesome hog with super cutters, though. Killed some good ones, but nothing with substantial cutters, yet. I'll be buying a hog hunt or two this year and if I'm lucky I'll get to go back out with TxKiller a few times, and maybe I'll finally get one worth a good euro mount.

I worked on a high fenced game ranch for 10 years. I got tired of deer and deer hunters. We would have to kill 40+ does a year and spikes and other cull bucks. I would much rather chase a big nasty stinking hog.

No aging, no culling, no tags to sweat, no limits. Kill them and grill them.
