I'm hoping to find a place to shoot a legitimate TROPHY boar. By trophy boar, I mean something 250+ lbs with very nice tusks to put on the wall. I'm only interested in a "good looking" hog (I know that's an oxymoron)....meaning I'm not interested in some 500 lb. floppy-eared domestic hog. I've killed plenty of pigs in my life (including two that were around 300 lbs), but none with decent tusks. I'm fine with a high fenced operation as long as it's not a pen. It seems like there used to be a lot more places that offered trophy hog hunts, but there seem to be far fewer now.

I would prefer that it be in Texas, but am willing to drive to Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana if necessary. I'm already aware of a few places like Dos Plumas Ranch, Texas Hunt Lodge, and No Mercy Hunting Service (Oklahoma).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

A good day to you ES.

From my experience of hunting the Texas hill country at least monthly, since 1999, that is quite a list of blanks to check off!

Even when you hunt at night with thermal, trap or snare. I can count on one hand the number I've killed over 250 lbs.

+/- 275 lbs. (weighed on a scale, not guessed)

This one checks the boxes except for the weight.

This one checks all the boxes except the weight.

315 lbs., weighed, but did not have great tushes and would not make a pretty mount.

A bud and I have killed over 500 hoglets since July of 2018 and not one fills that bill.

Good luck on your quest,

ya!
