not really, WF.
Just trying ta help out with the wild hog problem, like on privet land, they kept saying they want em gone. Them ol boys with the video's in the hog section, they the exterminators, my hunts were more for en & chillen. Lots of good memories on sabine. WMAs are affordable hunts. as saying goes replace the thread with my posts. A lot depends on the presure. No night hunts, deer & hogs can hit the acorns along atv trails under the moon light. Best wishes.

West side, are you refuring Hoard Rd as dividing the east & west of the bottom ? When it starts ta flood, they close the gates on rd going ta the camp sites, what i refure to as east & west trails. East side of camps atvs were allowed if not to wet. Ya can catch a lot of the game heading west towards Hoard Rd. Yet several get caught on the higher grounds, if willing ta get your feet, & as a frog says (knee deep) wet. Slide your feet, some good, (great) hunting can be found if ya don't mind little exercise. Right now with hog hunts is when did my scout & hunt & chance ta put some on the . Even find some sheds, Shhhh, it's a secret.

There were two trucks parked in parking lot Hoard Rd yesterday!

any updates bout OSBWMA ?

I live about 20 miles from there, Had over 8" of rain in the last week at the house. I bet it is way under water for the next couple weeks.

Tips his hat, last lease had was roughly 2miles as crow flies from your address. When OSBWMA opened up ta public, gave up leasing. Did the archery dee-hog hunts, squirrel-hog & the hog hunts.
Had place for rifle deer behind house, had my corn feeder, deer food plot by creek with 4 trail cams set up.
At last camp site, North boundary when river low, it around 15ft drop. When river starts rising animals start headen towards Hoard Rd. Some hogs get stranded on higher ground. Been chest deep several times, lol, duck tape & pvc glue ta hold me tennis shoes tagether.
Thanks for the update.

And more coming.

Is that Hoard road?

Hello colt 45, how big is the area west of Hoard road and is there hogs there? Ive been to Sabine a few times and I've seen quite a few hogs but mostly around the lake west of Hoard. And I did see a few I'm the area you mentioned in previous post on the trail with the camper that is there.

All I have. Hogs should be on any high ground.

White Falcon, in the picture you posted what road is that running I'm the middle?

Denogean3 ta HF & Public Hunting. Wish had my old books, they at my daughters. When it first opened ta public the land west of Hoard Rd was not part of it. Don't have my TOPO USA CD or could check acrage. It goes, believe two more poles after it turns ta left, theirs a fence. Used ta be a heart shaped trap just ta left in edge of woods at boundry, also a stand, it was full of fire ants. Have seen hogs in that area also.
The hoard rd has two bridges, have came from South ridge, put canoe in at parking area & paddled ta North bridge it was up higher than in pic, looked like a lake, & floated ta 14. Put in at dark-thrirty & hit 14 at sunrise,took daughter with also.
When heading East towards tree line, watch the trails, have followed them & found hogs. Not sure if they brush hogging a trail or not, theirs trail at North end & South end.
WhiteFalcon & thanks for memories. Have many on Sabine. Safe Hunting.

Colt 45, thank you glad to be a part of the forum. Next time I go I will take pictures and see if I can find the spots you are talking about. I appreciate the info.

If ya ever their when its real wet, & easen threw water, slideyour feet,can be half way up chin ta neck deep, litterly. Sent ya a pm. Theirs several old stands, theirs another cabin besides the one, think it was Colman camper popup, it had l8ving quarters added on. Area before camper, in switch Cain is were took video of hogs sleeping. Had several videos, in the public hunting several years back. It my tagoto place for hog hunts, also deer archery.
Ya get back out their, give up date, on here or pm.
Got lots of memories of the place. Been from one end ta other.

Large road in middle is 1804. The thing that looks like a road going east and west at the top is the pipeline.

Anyone know if its dried out enough to get out there on foot? I finally get a weekend free and from what Ive heard the place Id most like to be is underwater.

If you end up going let us know how it is please. I was planning on making a trip out there the 16 or 17. Hopefully it’s not to bad for you this weekend.

I was on 1804 yesterday, still closed. Water is still over the two bridges. River is way over the banks. If it rains this weekend it will be another 2 weeks to get in.

the downfall of the OSBWMA, the flooding. If ya know the high spots, can still be some good hog hunts when it first starts flooding with a boat or lesure canoe trip.
Good info, WF, save time & gas money for those Thinken of doing a walk in. Even when not flooding, the trails stay little wet. Stay Safe.

So this mean Ive finally found an excuse to buy a boat? I cant wait to till my wife!

Sit in
Kayak! More stable than canoe!

Hwy 80 at Lake fork creek bridge.

Colt - you got a link to the video you are talking about?
