It's time - Hog Hunting East Tx- ( pics and updates pg 8 )

[Crittergetter]

Well, I figure it's time to get this up and going for next years hunt. We did this last year and had a great time despite the worst possible hunting conditions. ( massive amounts of rain and flooding) I think everyone got into pigs at some point and several got shot oppertunities. Here's last years group minus me. I'm behind the camera.            
I'm hoping for better weather and I know we'll be bringing home the bacon!
It'll be held at the Old Sabine Bottom WMA just outside of lindale tx. And I'm thinking about going from 4/20 - 4/24 2016. But I'm open for changes if it'll help fit others schedules. Come and go as you please. We had a couple guys come early last year and several leave early. Just a couple reminders.
It's primitive camping only!!!!!!
Non resident 5 day is $48.00
You'll also need a type 2 APH permit $48.00
Everyone pitches in and everyone has fun!
My wife and I will be hosting dinner either Friday or Saturday night. No limit!
Now who's in?

Randy you can count me in. I had a great time last year. I will bring some salmon to barbecue one night. I am not to particular on the days. This was a great get together last year got to meet and break bread with a great bunch of people.

I might be in, never actually hunted in a trad group before.  I'll be hunting in San Saba in February, but might be able to swing a second trip.

Marty, I'm looking forward to hunting with you again. I'm in better shape now so maybe I can keep up with them long legs of yours!! Also looking forward to some more of that copper river salmon! Best fish I've ever put in my mouth!!!!!

I am just going to have to try to work this one in this year!

I have it posted on calendar.  We will see how things shake out.  Thanks for putting this on.

What about having the hunt before the snakes and mosquitos come out of hybernation?  What about an earlier hunt in Feb or March?  March 14-18 is spring break?

Can you bait on WMA for the hogs after deer season?

I did it in April because there isn't any othe open seasons besides hogs then and it's archery only. Last year we had the whole place to ourselves.  Jan - March there are several other species open as well as rifle seasons for hogs! I prefer not to go roaming around with a bunch of rifle toting wannabe's. Id rather take my chances with the snakes and skeeters!!!!
There is no baiting or night hunting for hogs on this WMA.

[dragonheart]

I understand.  I did not know that the WMA had rifle hunters.  I am going to try and get to this one.

I lived in Lindale for four years, used to hunt that spot all the time. It is a good time for sure!!!

[yth-mnstr]

I'm going to try the make it!

[akdd]

Once you guys get the dates nailed down let me know and I will make my reservations.

[Wallydog]

Ill talk to Jimmy and see if hes free again this year. We  just now got dried up from last year..lol.

[Crittergetter]

Hey Wally! Would love for y'all to make it back! Be glad we did it when we did last year because the week after that the river came up and the whole wma was under water!

[joe ashton]

Sure looks like fun.

Randy, I'm in just to eat Marty's salmon. Hopefully get to listen and sing along with Wally and Jim again too. I think you and I should definitely do some pre-hunt recon.

[Crittergetter]

Darren, Sounds good! It'll probably be after deer season is over. All my weekends are planed out with pre planed hunts till the end. I'll keep you posted on when I can go!

[Hackbow]

I'm good with that. I may take a weekday or two and try my luck on deer or hogs there and I'll make notes of any hog activity to share with the group. Any idea what the water situation is like currently?
