I just saw American hoggers film a hunt from tenroc ranch salado, tx. Tenroc has a whole pen dedicated to hogs and hog hunting. There is no way that was a real hunt. I'm now questioning that show and that ranch. The hunting industry, and the alleged feral hog problem is a money making oppurtunity that people with less than optimal values exploit as evidenced by so many horror stories on here. What a shame.

Whole thing is a fraud. They show up on a 5000 acre ranch, catch 3 hogs in 3 days and say the place is cleaned out. Ridiculous.

It's TV. The last show that was on TV without a script was the old Three Stooges.

even i noticed that them hogs weren't real feral hogs the 1st time i seen the show.

Not a troll. Simply noting the unfortunate situation. I'll still watch the show, just know for those that wish to go on a hog hunt in central Texas also location of ft hood and soldiers you have characters that feed on soldiers. MY soldiers and I thought it appropriate as a follow up to a previous report on this website reference to the tenroc ranch in salado tx. You still think I'm a troll ill gladly chat with you about it. Nothing follows.

There are many that have serious problems with hogs, and there are many that are serious about doing what we can to help with the problem. For some of us, it's not about the money it's about doing something that we love while trying to protect our ecosystem and our neighbors. On that note yes, there are also people just out there to make a buck. Just don't include everyone in the "hunting industry - pig removal world" as having low morals or standards. I find those remarks offensive.

I had noticed something on Lady Hoggers that also occurs on American Hoggers. All too often, the cameraman is closer to the hogs than any of the chasers. How that can happen so often can ONLY be the result of hogs being released and chased for footage. I have seen hogs during a chase actually change during the chase from male to female, which is pretty funny.

That was not tenroc that they "hunted". I have been there numerous times, and none of the shots were from that ranch. I am not sure it was anything more than the guy had a tenroc hat on.
I will say this about tenroc, the old manager, bobby, is gone. I loved heading out there with Bobby. He took care of his hunters. I think Darryl is the current manager but is not listed on the website, so I am not sure if he is still with Tenroc.

No these shows are not real. Even duck dynasty. The thing about duck dynasty is those guys don't act too different off camera. But all the situations on the show are staged. Hoggers is a joke though. Those ranches charge hundreds to kill pigs. They don't want them gone at all. The t v show probably pays the ranch to film and catch hogs

Ray Charles could see that the American Hoggers program is scripted and the kills are set-up. Most if not all the reality shows are scripted, otherwise they would be boring to watch.

Yep,I noticed that too. I told my partner that those hogs were being released from a trailer. You look in a open field and see nothing. Next thing you know, they've caught two in three minutes. STAGED!!!

Ive been told by one guy that the show tried to buy pigs off of him for the show because the cast couldn't find any and they needed the pigs to shoot the show.
For lack of anything better, I watched it two nights ago. The way the dad and that Ronnie Creek fella bickered and whined about each other was reminiscent of my daughter and her friends when they were 10 yrs old.
The Creek guy ran into an old run-down structure and starts blasting away with his 6-shooter, next thing you know a little pig the size of your big toe runs out. In a 200sf building, he couldn't even hit a piglet...how sad. It's a good thing he has his guys there to help catch them, because he can't shoot for squat.
I'm just surprised after they way they act on the show, that they get any business at all. There's no way in hell I'd let those guys on a ranch that I owned/managed. Between the two groups featured on the show, they let over 20 pigs go because they were either looking for a stupid pipe or for a 500# boar. They showed no concern for their agreement with the landowner, which was to remove hogs. Reality TV is anything but reality. I guess they don't realize they are only embarrassing themselves, not to mention the bad image they are giving serious hog-doggers. The only one with any sense is the daughter, and thank goodness she is smoking hot or else they'd probably lose more viewers.

@ Skinner I apologize didn't mean to lump all big hunters in the same bucket.
@ rusharp the first scene was tenroc and then it was somewhere else. The guy with the hat is the New ranch hand. Bobby and Tyler are out, and so is all the class and decency of that ranch. The new guy has turned the place into a straight business transaction. It no longer is a memorable event, and that is what really makes me mad.

The new guy has turned the place into a straight business transaction. It no longer is a memorable event, and that is what really makes me mad. My buddy and I have hunted Tenroc quite a few times in the last year before Bobby left, and if you're right that is a same. We seemed to book when Bobby's son would come up for a visit with his girlfriend. Talk about genuinely nice people, it didnt seem like you were at a paid hunt at all. My first visit, and my first hunt with my bow, i was not comfortable hunting out of anything but a ground blind. Once his son found out he ran his personal pop up out to the hog pasture for me to use the whole weekend. There was always time for business at the end of the weekend, but it wasnt the fonly thing. I was a little sad to see them go. Tyler is a good guy too, I know him from the archery shop and now he is my go to taxidermist. I think he has the same attitude about Tenroc as Bobby had. Too bad he is so busy with his two businesses that he couldnt stay with Tenroc. We planned to head up to Tenroc in the near future just to shoot a couple hogs since it is only 45 minutes away. We may have to rethink that now. Matt

I think Swamp People is fake too . Last episode i saw chase jump to levy to get in the back water with the boat .the boat he jumped and was silver with the mud motor. The boat they were hunting with once I got there was camouflaged with the 90 horsepower Mercury outboard.

You mean Duck Dynasty isn't real? I don't watch for the "reality"' I watch for the comedy wait, its supposed to be funny? maybe i should give it another try...nah.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Is there a hog problem in Texas? Yep
Are those people the answer? Nope
Unless they're way better off the air than on, I'd be willing to bet I killed more hogs last year than all of them combined.
But I do find the show mildly amusing...

2 of them creek guys hunt a regular basis n iv hunted with both ronnie n another guy n between both hunts (6-7hrs per hunt) we laid 14 hogs on the ground n that was with dogs n a knife, so unless ur usin rifle, i dout ur killn more than both groups combined. Them creek boys aint even usin their best dogs, those r their up n comin pups n in reality, they put a big dent in my area. Ronnie n the other guy has to, they r farmers with crops so they stand to loose out between the drought n hogs.
We all know the show is staged, its ment for ratigs, not reality. I dont like it so i dont watch it but they gettn paid for it. Are yaw? Most of yaw dont know neither group n dont know what how they really are, what their occupation is or anything bout them or the reasoning behind them and the land owners doin what they do but again, they r gettin paid to do it. Change the channel if u dont like whats on

She has a natural beauty, and not one created by makeup. She doesn't have the anorexic look associated with most women people consider beautiful by today's standards. I'm sick of seeing a girl that's just a hair bigger than a toothpick being called a beauty queen. Lets see some real life corn-fed American women for a change, instead of one that looks like an aids victim. Not only did she get the looks in the family, I think she got a vast majority of the brains too. I know that tastes and opinions vary, but thats just my take on it. To each his own...

Its a TV show of course its staged. I have hog hunted with a couple of them. They are ate up with hog huntin and are good at it. They are having fun and making a little money. I have some friends who watch it who have never seen a wild hog and enjoy it.So I guess they are doing something right.

Ive been told by one guy that the show tried to buy pigs off of him for the show because the cast couldn't find any and they needed the pigs to shoot the show.
For lack of anything better, I watched it two nights ago. The way the dad and that Ronnie Creek fella bickered and whined about each other was reminiscent of my daughter and her friends when they were 10 yrs old.
The Creek guy ran into an old run-down structure and starts blasting away with his 6-shooter, next thing you know a little pig the size of your big toe runs out. In a 200sf building, he couldn't even hit a piglet...how sad. It's a good thing he has his guys there to help catch them, because he can't shoot for squat.
I'm just surprised after they way they act on the show, that they get any business at all. There's no way in hell I'd let those guys on a ranch that I owned/managed. Between the two groups featured on the show, they let over 20 pigs go because they were either looking for a stupid pipe or for a 500# boar. They showed no concern for their agreement with the landowner, which was to remove hogs. Reality TV is anything but reality. I guess they don't realize they are only embarrassing themselves, not to mention the bad image they are giving serious hog-doggers. The only one with any sense is the daughter, and thank goodness she is smoking hot or else they'd probably lose more viewers. Smoking Hot??? You may not think so, but I think she is beautiful. She has a natural beauty, and not one created by makeup. She doesn't have the anorexic look associated with most women people consider beautiful by today's standards. I'm sick of seeing a girl that's just a hair bigger than a toothpick being called a beauty queen. Lets see some real life corn-fed American women for a change, instead of one that looks like an aids victim. Not only did she get the looks in the family, I think she got a vast majority of the brains too. I know that tastes and opinions vary, but thats just my take on it. To each his own... She's not ugly by any means, but I would take lea any day. Next week there is a girl on there that works at the Brownwood Country club. Now she is really hot. I have known Jerry for years and an glad his family is making a little money off of him being goofy. He is not hamming for the camera , he acts like that all the time. It is a goofy show but all reality shows are goofy. Anyone that thinks reality tv is real needs more help than is offered on this forum.

You guys do realize it is broadcast nationally right?  I have known of Jerry for many years and like someone else said he isn't hamming it up for the camera. Old Jerry was born about 100 years to late.

The best part of the show is the gratuitous cleavage shots every time the girls bend over to deal with a hog. It happens too often to be accidental.

Trapper that helped get rid of the hogs on place showed me a set up in East Texas where he had a game fence set up. It wasn't 15 acres. Qoute "Many a hunting show was shot here. Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see." He wouldn't name the shows though.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I've never watched a complete episode-just couldn't make it through the whole thing without wanting to throw something at the TV! I will say this-a couple years ago there was a 'casting call' here on the forum. Some outfit from Commiefornia looking for hog hunters to put on a reality show. I sent them to Glenn Guess since his wife kills more hogs than almost anybody I've ever met..except for Glenn..and all 5 of his kids hunt. He has 4 daughters and one son that all shoot like they mean it and he has several freezers full of meat to prove it! He's sponsored by Hornady, Eotech, Bog Gear and some others and would seem to be a good fit. But no. The producers wanted somebody that was weird, on the edge, NOT normal folks that hunt all the time! So in the end things didn't work out all due to the Guess's not being weird enough...

Sell what they can, donate or dispatch the rest. Atleast thats what 3 of the creek guys do. On average, we put them down in the woods if no 1 is wanting any, we cant get to them with atvs or the pens r full.

Yes, but as with any of their help that is "brought in," that isn't a regular part of the show, you won't be good enough soon enough, even if you are. Any real or staged mistakes would be attributed to the "fact" that you just aren't cut out for it, are too inexperienced, not what they need right now when they really need help.
Sorry, nothing personal. That is just standard for pretty much every helper they bring in.

Agree Double Naught! They do bring in pretty enexperienced guests. This is TEXAS so they should have a much better selection out there. They intentionally pick the weak and inexperienced for ratings!

They catch em again. That's what they do. On the last episode, I'm sure they caught the same hog over and over, making it look like they were on a roll. You notice they never showed more than one caught hog at a time?

Fake? You mean all Texas hog hunters don't go around in skin tight tank tops, 2 pounds of eye makeup, and dangling ear rings? Really? Of course its fake...its drama TV...folks watch it for the drama. Now to ruin it all for you guys...look at the picture above of "crystal pistol." She look nice? OK...now think of miss piggy and look at her...do you see it? Heh...just ruined the show for you...

I know a couple of the guys and they do have day jobs. It's nothing more than reality tv.
Now on tenroc-I'm building a house that backs up to the fence. Every day they feed a group of hogs in the same spot. I can walk up to the high fence, whitle the hogs over, and pet them through the fence. Twice I've seen ranger with guide and hunter come along- guide- we usually see some here, hogs come running to atv-feeder , gettem! Unsuspecting hunter bangs away....high fives all around......now that's hunting!

It seams to be harder to watch this season than in the past. I know it's scripted that's not the hard part to watch. The acting and the script itself is the hard part. I know Duck Dynasty has a script also but it isn't meant to be taken seriously. They don't even pretend like it is. I tell people that have never seen it " the show is not about duck hunting, it's about jackassery with a few minutes of hunting." American Hoggers has never been a funny show nor was it supposed to be. I think the fued between the Campbell's and the Creek's and Jerry's foolish buying while hunting is just ridiculous and ruining the show.

I wouldn't let any of the clowns on that show on my property, except of course for the girls, ol' man Campbell acts like he is on the verge of senility and that Ronnie Creek fellow acts and sounds like a total idiot---I want that big hog.

I can't stand to watch it anymore. I still try to watch it sometimes only to see the ladies, but seldom finish the show. I can't stand all of the scripted fake drama. It's a reality show, not a hunting show.....driving around high fence ranches catching half tamed little pigs doesn't excite me very much.

I like how all hogs are vicious, and they eat your face in half if you turn your back to them or dont get your "6 shooter" out quick enough.
About like the Alaska shows where everyone is always teetering in the brink of death, and they fend off grizzly bears on a daily basis. Insert the same for logging shows, oilfield shows, highway patrol shows, ect.
I must be a hell'uva man, Ive worked in oil and gas for 11 yrs and havent even died yet.

I agree with all of the above. But...they are making money!
Supposedly, Jerry Campbell is a retired Texas Ranger.

Jerry was never a Texas Ranger. He did work for the Southwestern Cattle Raisers Assoc., and the Dept of the Interior, both for fairly short periods of time and never in a law enforcement capacity.
Jerry is fond of showing off his Colt Peacemaker and telling people that, "it's the same gun that Texas Rangers used to carry", which is technically true, but it this case he was letting people think he was a Ranger until it went public.
It's sort of like, if I pointed to my truck and said, "that the same truck that firefighters use, these are the same boots, wrist watch, ball cap etc that firefighters use, you might assume I'm a firefighter and I would not "technically" be lying if I let you think it. Then later when you confront me about it I can say, "I never said I was a firefighter". Pathetic.
A lot of the "catch" scenes on that show are done at his house in a 2-3 acre catch pen and not out on some ranch. He's been visited a couple of times by TPWD etc about transporting hogs, he's been doing it for years.
I didn't learn this by seeing it on TV, I learned it by doing it.

Jerry was at the Mills County Hunter Appreciation Dinner a couple of years ago as the guest speaker. From my understanding they paid for him to be there, if they did it was a total waste of money.
Either he was hammered out of his mind or he is mentally deficient. Totally incoherent, they tried to get him to help with the gun raffle winner announcement and he couldn't get through that. At first it was funny but it quickly turned into a major nerve grinding event.
I have never watched the show, and after that I dang sure wouldn't. Total embarrassment of a human being. I rate him as a first class oxygen thief.

Robert missed every hog he's shot at with a rifle this, and last season, but he hit Tannerite with this "sniper rifle"...?

On top of that he one of the "demands" for him being there was that they provide a limo for him to ride in. Not sure where they came up with one but they did. Jerry craves attention, so does Robert and Krystal, but he can't handle it once he gets it.

The Chamber Of Commerce pays you to be there, Hires a Limo to get your there, and then your not even ready to be presentable and be able to speak. Some of those Mills county boys should have took him out back and had a come to Jesus meeting with him.

Fake? You mean all Texas hog hunters don't go around in skin tight tank tops, 2 pounds of eye makeup, and dangling ear rings? Really? Of course its fake...its drama TV...folks watch it for the drama. Now to ruin it all for you guys...look at the picture above of "crystal pistol." She look nice? OK...now think of miss piggy and look at her...do you see it? Heh...just ruined the show for you... Sean Hey, I'd go there....

Thanks for verifying my claim RS.....thought I was losing it for a second. I have been working, haven't got to watch to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Don't know how to take a pic and post, I'm not to good on these computer things....I'm an old dog and it takes me a minute to learn new tricks.

I've been trying to figure out how catching a couple pigs is going to put a dent in the population
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Do we really believe that Raylan Givens in Justified really kills all those people or that Leonard and Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory are genius physicists. It is entertainment and all staged.
The only difference between reality TV and your favorite sitcom or drama is reality shows use regular folk because they get paid less...

Ah, but Mayim Hoya Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) is really a neuroscientist... Bailik received her B.S. in Neuroscience and Hebrew and Jewish Studies from UCLA in 2000 and earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 2007 from UCLA, specializing in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in adolescents with Prader-Willi syndrome.

All of the hunting shows build it up, claim how dangerous the animals are, how difficult it is and that the animal will come up and breakdown their door and eat them alive...blah blah blah.
Just like the other TV shows...cops showing up without backup knowing that someone armed and dangerous is waiting for them but these lone cops will save the day.
I watch all shows knowing that Hollywood makes them interesting for the people that will never get out and experience stuff for themselves. My wife hates when I critique audiobooks and movies.
Once I heard a the revolver was ejecting the shells after each shot...say what...nevermind.
