Hawg hunting gear

[Jeff Strubberg]

Heading down to Texas in February to hunt hogs with Doc.  I've been a few times, and every time I try to take less gear along.  Half of what I take never seems to make it out of the duffle anyway.

I thought it might be interesting to see what other people find they can't do without on a hog hunt.  My must have's are;

1. Bow n' Arras
2. Skinning knife
3. Stool or seat of some kind
4. Cell phone
4. Camelback
5. Jerky or snack food
6. Camo clothing
7. Chuck Taylors
8. Extra socks
9. First aid kit
10. Lighter
11. Space blanket or small plastic tarp
12. snakebite kit
13. sierra cup

Toilet paper, besides it's intended use, use it to mark a blood trail.

CJ, I hope we have some success this year.  Febuary can't get here soon enough.

[killinstuff]

Agreed David.  I've got a warm up Florida pig hunt in January to get things rolling before Texas.  Lifes short, make the most of it.

A good knife sharpener.When those hogs have mud in their hair like they usually do it will dull a knife in a hurry.Dont know about Texas but here in south bama in the river bottoms we have skeeters so big they sit on the tree's and 'bark', so take some skeeter spray!

[Kituwa]

Oh,,dont forget your camera,,we want pictures!

Kinda looks like "SAM E STEPHENS" is the Texas hawg Guru.

Agreed David.  I've got a warm up Florida pig hunt in January to get things rolling before Texas.  Lifes short, make the most of it.

Ill make sure I take plenty of wind powder.

[Bowmag]

Maybe we can make it out again in the future. I'm thinking of some new hunts.

[tarponnut]

All of the above, plus; snake boots, video camera, thermacell.

[Liquid Amber]

Leave the snakebite kit[useless and may cause more damage] and wear snake protection.

Pack tweezers and needles for removing spiny things.  

[Mint]

No way I'll go without a couple of bottles of "Smoke in a Bottle" to check the wind currents. I always bring camo gloves anda face mask too.
