Texas public land hog hunt

[Flyboy718]

Anybody live around the WMA's east of Dallas?  I live near Terrel, TX.  Anybody want to get together and go stick some pigs?

[Nala]

I am down south near Houston so that's a long way for me.
Do you have any tips on WMA's that might be down my way a bit?  I've been reading and checking on several and can always use tips and advice from those that have been there and done that.

I have never been but I hear Sam Houston National Forest is a good place to go...100,000+ acres.

[PowDuck]

Didn't know there was public land between Texarkana and Dallas. haha
I might be interested to do some. Just not sure where to go.

[Flyboy718]

Old Sabine Bottom WMA is a good one. It's just north of Lindale...planning on going in a weekend or two, want to meet up and go get some piggy's?

[BAPilot2]

I'm interested in shiz-ka-bobbing a pig!!!

I live in S. Arlington (DFW area).  Getting weekends off can be a bit tough at times but drop me a line and let's see if we can work out the details.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Andrew

[beaver#1]

There's I'd a lot between texarcana and Dallas. Some is Mary corp if engineer land and all that requires is a regular hunting license. Some of the others you have to get permits for

Hello everyone I am new to tradgang. I have hunted the old sabine bottoms wma for the last seven years.  I just got back from there 2 weeks ago. I would be more that happy to give anyone some pointers on where I seen hogs.

Beaver#1,

Are you looking at weekends only or would weekdays work for you?

As for me, I'll have to put it off till sometime in April.  Work is keeping me on a short leash right now.

Nuctech,

I welcome any and all info that you are willing and able to provide.  Send me a PM, or just post it here.  

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Andrew

It just depends on when flyboy wants to go. I work shift work and some weekends I have off and some weekdays I have off  just depends in what the rotation is

bapilot2 do you fly?

[Ground Hunter]

I hope you guys are luckier than we are in West Texas.  The WMAs are closed after normal hunting seasons.  Even during the regular seasons they are closed for archery unless you have won a draw.

[Flyboy718]

Going to start me an elm self bow today and see if I can get it done pretty quick and maybe take it piggy huntin...if not, I will be using my 50# Quinn Stallion

[beaver#1]

If that is the case the corp of engineer public is open all year over here.

[BAPilot2]

Flyboy,

Yes, I fly.  I use to do some flight instruction but I haven't in a few years.  I still keep the CFI current.  It was hard to make a living as an instructor.

I contacted nuctech and he has provided some good info.  I'm sure he will gladly pass it along to all who are interested.  I'm hoping to head to one of the WMA's one day soon.


Ground Hunter,

A lot of the WMA's in east Texas allow archery hunting for hogs during most of the year.  After getting into the conversation here on this thread I have been studying up on which ones are open for hog hunting and there are definitely opportunities available for hunting hogs.  However, for those of us who do not live in E. Texas, it may require a good bit of driving.

[Ground Hunter]

That's cool.  I wish we were so lucky!  A drive in West Texas?  LOL - I'm 140 miles round trip from the closest Wally World.

[White Falcon]

Flyboy, you from Lindale?

[BAPilot2]

140 miles round trip to Wally World is a ways to drive.  I don't envy you on that one.  However I wish I did not live here in "The Metropile" of Dallas / Fort Worth... there's too many dang people.
