If I was in TX or even close to it I'd do it in a heartbeat! I have had great fun shooting feral hogs. It does cost a fair amount of money and time to go. I would like to have someplace to go that didn't cost money... But then wouldn't we all.

I grew up hunting in South Texas and my dad had us up in tree blinds, a 2x6 accross two branches, freezing my butt off and being told to be still and be quiet!

wasn't until the last few years hunting at a buddies place in central Texas (I am in Austin) that I first experienced hunting near a feeder.. not thrilled with it cause they are ultra easy 100 yard shots... but, when in Rome....

As for hogs, I feel better about hunting over feeders and do so and at night with red lights.. I got a 45/70 guide gun with a leupold scout scope setup and some handload 405g hardcasts specifically for hogs.. but recently put together a 6.8 SPC with an ACOG on it and loaded hot with Barnes solid copper bullets, 10-20 rounds of hurt in a hurry

Kill as many as you can and as often as you can!! Last Sunday we drilled in about 600lbs of seed for food plots and went back yesterday to put down fertilizer---more freaking hog tracks through the plowed and drilled areas than you could count! Looks like when it gets cooler and we get some rain it will be time for the slaughter to begin.
