Looking to get in a hunt before my leave ends, I’m in the Army and I’m back home for awhile before I go back to Ft. Riley. Looking to do some hog hunting with my soon to be brother in law. Please let me hunt your land I leave in a 6 days! I’m near lake Lavon!

You're in luck- Lake Lavon has free public hunting land:

I give you an A+ for being direct and to the point. As mentioned the public hunting land may be an option as well as hog hunting outfits in that area, may try a google search or check the Guides and Outfitters section on THF.

Can me & another stranger bring our rifles over to your place & shoot up the joint sometime?

Another guy that is direct and to the point, how's it going Max?

You need a license from the corps of engineers to hunt on that land and it can take up to a week and I leave in 6 days, that’s usually what I would do

I did it when I was in HS people around the area would let me and my buddies do it, I haven’t been back in a while just wasn’t sure if that was an option anymore or not.

Bingo. Too many people on here have seen the Chris Kyle movie.........

Good one DQ.

Ft. Riley has fantastic hunting! I used to hunt there all the time when I went to K-State.
The fishing is good at Milford too.

Can we get a hunt with you??? at Ft. Riley?????????

Takes 5 min. Walk into the office, present hunting license, leave with permit.

Yep

Why not ask those people who let you hunt in the past?

didn't see were he said a thing about trashing place...
hunt hogs...

Then i did get a D- in grammer...
Ya'll talk bad about Dem. This forum puts down hunters ...
Just my

Too many people have had idiot strangers on their lands that shot up things that should not have been shot, left trash behind, didn't mind the gates, and otherwise were poor guests and had stopped letting people on their property long before the Chris Kyle movie.

Legal Game/Seasons
Dove, squirrel, rabbit, waterfowl, upland game birds, and feral hogs. Hunting seasons and bag limits are determined by the State of Texas . All state hunting laws apply on Corps of Engineers managed lands. Fur bearers and non-game species may not be hunted or taken. Feral Hog hunting will be suspended during ALL Collin County Deer Seasons (2 October 2020 - 18 January 2021.)

He’s SOL on hog hunting Lavon this year during deer seasons.

Good luck hunting on base.

Hit up a couple local feed stores or country cafes where the farmers/ranchers hang out and ask around. In person would be your best bet in your position and gathering spots is a lot easier than riding around knocking on doors.

Jes my

Good Luck and thank you for your service....

I grew up in New Mexico hunting on public land. This was in the 80s/90s but there was a ton of land and it wasn’t crowded at all. Hardly ever saw anyone and the hunting was good. We moved to Texas in the mid nineties and what a shock it was with no where public to hunt. Well there are a few places but from what I have seen they are packed.

When it come to private most people have a ton of time, money, etc invested into their property and place a lot of value on hunting there and for that reason they don’t just let anyone come and hunt. My place doesn’t have trophy animals and I am certainly not saying it is worth this much but for me to even consider taking someone I don’t know hunting out there they would have to pay me north of 20k. I bought my place so I could have my own private Mecca and taking strangers out there just isn’t part of the plan. I have wanted my own place for over twenty years and never could afford it but I have it now and am going to enjoy it as I see fit.

If I had six days I would hit Davy Crocket national forest and hunt the north end of it on any feeder creek that runs into the Neches. Wild country and a neat place. Plenty of hogs too but may be mostly nocturnal.

This happened to me my goodness what a mess
I did have some wounded warriors come duck hunt and they were all good I was happy to have them

Hunt the National forest!!!

Been there 2x with my camper and scored both occasions. lots of mature pines that are great for climber stands!!!!
