Pigmist / Hog hunts

Hog hunts in Texas, an hour from Fort Worth

Guided day and thermal night hunts on private ranches across the cross timbers and the river bottoms. No lease, no membership, no season.

Why hunt with us

Close enough to hunt on a weeknight

Texas holds more feral hogs than any state in the country, an estimated 3 million of them according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, and the ranch country west and south of Dallas Fort Worth is thick with them. Our properties sit 60 to 90 minutes from downtown Fort Worth, which means you can leave the office in Plano at five and be behind a thermal scope by full dark.

Every hunt is guided. We run cellular cameras on the properties through the week, so on the night you book we already know which fields the hogs are hitting and when they move. That is the difference between a hunt and a long sit.

What is included on every hunt

  • Guide and property access
  • Pre hunt safety and rules brief
  • Scouted stands and shooting lanes
  • Recovery and field dressing help
  • Cooler drop and processor coordination
  • Photos of your hunt

Reserve the ranch

No kill fees and no trophy fees. Hogs are an invasive species in Texas and there is no bag limit on private land, so what the night gives you, you keep. Texas does not require a hunting license to take feral hogs on private property with landowner authority, though rules change and depredation situations have their own provisions. Confirm current requirements with Texas Parks and Wildlife.

How a night runs

Dark to done

Meet at the gate

Thirty minutes before last light. Paperwork, safety brief, optics handed out and zero confirmed on the bench.

Glass the fields

We work the fields the cameras have been showing, moving quiet on foot or in the truck depending on wind and moon.

Set up on the sounder

Wind first, always. Your guide calls the stalk, ranges the group and tells you which hog to take first.

Recover and reset

Photos, recovery, field dressing if you are keeping meat, then back out and on to the next field.

Cooler and out

Meat goes in ice or straight to the processor. You are on the road by about 1am, home before the alarm.
