Well I finally have my own property and it is loaded with hogs. And only an hour from home.

Had over 100 pictures of hogs last night. I'll be putting my traps out this weekend.

Those wooly boogers look like river hogs, up near the Red at all?
Be looking forward to some hogs in the trap pics!

Congrats Hunter-Steve !

Only about 2 miles from Bailey on the way towards Wolfe City. Not far from JG's place. I can hear people shooting at his range.

I sat out in a popup for a few hours but the hogs didn't show up until after midnight and I was long gone.

Great pic, bud. Looks like someone is a happy hunter. Congratulations on your new place.

Very nice!!!!! Definitely working towards buying our own place.

Awesome!

Today at 5:30pm

Congrats on the new place. You are gonna be busy trapping.

You are not far from me at all. I’m between Bailey and Gober. I get a handful of pigs here often enough to be annoying but I’ve never seen them in those numbers. Please keep them over in your part of the world!! Have you ever used a circle 6 trap? I have had good luck with it.

Good luck with any grass you may have!

Congrats!

You're going to love the hog doggers in that area
No respect for property lines

That's seems to be pretty universal. Most certainly a problem where I am.

Congrats Steve...that's awesome!

Congratulations on buying your own place to hunt. Looks like you found a good one.
I’ve had mine for 3 years now and love it more each day.

Congrats. Know that area well. You definitely found a good place. That area has plenty of hogs to keep you busy for a while.

I understand being happy about being a new Land Owner, but I don't understand being happy that it has hogs?

I imagine that will change shortly.

Congratulations on your land purchase.

WOW! Congrats on buying your own land. That is my goal as well. I'm in Plano as well. Looks like you might need a Thermal Scope for Christmas. My buddy and I do that near the red river its a blast!

I have both a thermal monoculture and scope and will be make good use of them along with traps. I’ll post pictures as I start the harvesting 😀

Congrats Steve. You are going to have a great time thinning them out.

I dunno.

I've been 'thinning' mine out now for 30 years and repairing pastures for the same amount of time. Can't say that it's been all that Great.

… Make Thinning Out Hogs Great Again!

Congratulations on the property, condolences on the hogs !

Man, Congratulations! That's a dream come true for many of us. That's great you got to accomplish it. I'm in Colorado but would love to own a place that I could come down for hogs, deer, turkey, whatever. Texas definitely has it right when it comes to animal diversity! I can't wait to see all the pictures!

I see a lot of delicious backstrap in those pics. With proper processing of course. Congrats. I want to do the same thing. If you’re only an hour away from home, don’t worry, the urban sprawl will swallow your property in no time. Can’t stand to see how explosive the growth has been over the last 15 years or so.

Probably happy because they make excellent table fare, and Steve makes some EXCELLENT sausage.

Yes he does!!

Congrats Steve! Get to ripping that bolt.

Congratulations on buying the new place.

What caliber is that rifle you're holding?

There's nothing better than owning your own land.......well, almost nothing.
Congratulations, many happy memories are about to be made.

Thats a 6.5 Creedmoor

I've trapped 5 hogs in the past two weekends so I'm ready to make a batch of sausage. Should be a little over 100lbs when all done.

Been seeing lots of does and bucks also. I need to get another camera set up on a mineral site this spring.

Congrats on the new place Looks like you found a good property.

Ive had hogs for years. Never been able to get one to go in a trap.

I haven't had that problem

I'm not to far from you either. My place is near Jacobia at 118 and cr4306.

Looks like fun

Lots of hogs up there. I was dove hunting a corn field off 816 south of Bailey and heard them snorting down by a creek bottom. Perfect set up to sneak around a bend in the tree line. I came out about 20 yards from 2 young boars and a sow with about 10 piglets. I took out the 2 boars while the sow and piglets ran thought the creek bottom. The sow came back out of the brush in the creek bottom when she heard one of the boars squealing. She was not happy to see me standing above her about 15 yards away. I was time for her to get 3 loads of bird shot right between the eyes.
