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