This may be the place TJ is talking about. I hunted there a couple of years ago; lots of hogs, and they love trad archers.

Great idea, Terry. I hope the dates you settle on turn out to be something I can schedule. I am long overdue for some outdoor fun.

[BowDiddle]

You might get these guys to work a deal for you.

I've never hunted there, but they get pretty good reviews.

Terry: I wonder if Andrew down at Wildthings might be able to accommodate a special weekend like this. His new set up sleeps 8 and perhaps he could accommodate a few more using campers or tents. He has a lot of land and there are hogs and deer aplenty there. It's probably worth a phone call to him to see if he might be willing to do something special.

I believe both of Maurice Chambers ranches are high fenced but have lots of exotics.

Man I'm hoping this works out. I'm all for sharing a trad camp with y'all!

I have been to Lincoln Ranch twice. They have javies in certain real thick areas and alot of hogs, but mostly hunting over feeders at dusk and overnight.  Spot and stalk is real tough because it is so thick.  I had a lot of fun and was successful both trips, but I think 12 is as many as they can handle.  The owner is super nice, although he isn't a hunter.  Deer hunting would be tough, as this is where they really make their money. I will probably go there again in the spring.  Smoking Joes idea sounds a little better since it would have better stalking opportunities.

I was wrong, they do accommodate up to 16 hunters and rates for deer are not that bad. Decent accommodations. List of available dates and rates on website.

Hey Terry. If it works out, and the time works for me. I'll volunteer to do the cooking. I can cook for large groups & My stuff tastes pretty good too, if I do say so myself!!

[BDann]

I would love to go on another group hunt.  Ditto on the Texas idea.

[Flatshooter]

I love the idea, particularly during our off season! Texas might be just the place!!

[Danny Rowan]

Only problem with most of the links posted is that they are high fenced ,as a lot of private hunting ranches in Texas are, I do not necessarily have a problem with that as long as they have a lot of acerage but some folks might. Also most do not provide meals, I think what Terry is looking for is an all inclusive place so that the hunters do not have to worry about anything except hunting. I will be keeping an eye on this and I am in for whatever we can come up with.

[Sean B]

Ah, I read it wrong!!

Terry....the land I lease is run by a fella that has a fairly large swath of land in same area.  They have 900 acres just for hog hunting alone....it includes a 400 acre enclosure for nuisance hogs and for people that want that thing.

But the 500 acres outside of the fence is wild and free....They have a lodge house, full meat preparation and a taxidermist if needed...sleeping bunks, etc.  I can check on it if you like...

What about Martin Family Ranch? Trad only I hear.

[PowDuck]

You're all welcome to join us in Arkansas The weekend of Sept. 28 on Lake Ouachita for the annual A.R.R.O.W. 2013 hunt. Public land. Deer season open with no trophy fees.

Watching this one. I need to get away! Terry, I've been down to Texas hog hunting twice at Morris Chalmers ranch. He was setup for bowhunters and had all the amenities to accommodate!

Are you sure it was Morris Chalmers? I have never heard of that one? But there is a Maurice Chambers that runs at least two duifferent rances, and has been doing so for a loooooong time. I just looked on their website and it says they can only accommodate up to 8 hunters.

Yep, you got it Bisch. I just can't spell. Great hog hunt though, if anyone ever wants to look him up. Prices used to be reasonable also but that may have changed.

Maurice is a trad guy himself and really enjoyed our group on both occasions. I may give him a call and see if he could bend the rules and take a few more.
