Hog hunting in Texas is a year round option due to their invasive and destructive nature. Check out some of the options below!
Couldn’t have asked for better hog hunting options in Texas!
— Brian Smith
Wasn’t sure what to expect but we got up on a group of wild hogs and were able to cull out a few!
— Jim Black
For hundreds of years, wild hogs were brought to the Americas by early settlers; many eventually escaped adding to the wild population. Early in the 1900s, the Russian boar was introduced into the wild of Texas, so today, almost every hog has some Russian Boar lineage. Today it is estimated that there are well over six million feral hogs in the United States and an estimated one to two million in Texas alone!
Hogs will produce, on average, two litters per year. Come hunt with us and see Big Mean Wild hogs on your exciting hunting adventure.
Hog hunting can be one of the toughest tests of a hunter’s skill when tackled on a one-on-one basis. At Bostick, our boar population in the wild led us to offer one of the most unique, challenging, and rewarding hunting methods. With 2,000 acres to choose from, our guides will help you select a likely area and assist you in locating the game. Many of our most enormous boars have been taken on a deer stand.
The minimum stay for boar hunting is two days. Lodging and transportation to the stand area are provided. These hunts allow you more independence and don’t be afraid to ask for exceptional tailoring in setting up a hunt to suit your particular needs. Each hunter may harvest two boars per day, one in the AM and one in the PM. An extra kill is $200. All hunters can harvest foxes, bobcats, and coyotes at no additional charge while in season.

.We offer bow hunters a great opportunity to hunt with archery, both out of blinds and spot and stalk. For bow hunting, the best time to take advantage of the spot and stalk hunt is when our brush is high. Archery spot and stalk hunts are best from April Thru December. We bow hunt all year however, but from January thru March, best success for archery hunting is from a blind.
.We also offer pistol, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader and black powder hunts for hog hunting year round.And don’t forget that you can add an exotic buck or doe to your hog hunt. Please call the ranch for pricing.
Our main lodge is located approximately 75 miles SE of Austin. We are about 75 miles east of San Antonio, Texas and 120 miles East of Houston, Texas. The main lodge consists of 265 game-fenced acres, and has exotic animals from all over the world, as well as wild hogs. Most hog hunts take place at this location.
.
When available and when booked in advance, additional ranches in the area can be hunted for a trespass fee of $49/hunter/ranch. Additional kill fees of $100.00/hog apply, with no additional trophy fees for larger hogs.
The javelina and whitetail deer hunts we offer occur in South Texas near Laredo, which features different ranches ranging in size from 500 to 1500 acres and are both game fenced and free-range hunts.
THE HUNT
Hunts begin at different times, based on the seasons. Verify the exact starting time of your hunt.All hunts are subject to availability.
Our hog hunts are not fully guided,(except package 4) but rather semi-guided. This means your guides will drop you off and pick you up from the blinds, pick up your game, and advise you on the best hiding places to find hogs on your spot and stalk. Some hunters prefer to drive their own vehicle to the blind, and this is allowed.
We do offer fully guided hunts for exotics, unless other arrangements are made.
.
THE GAME
HOGS: The hogs range in type from wild, feral, domestic to any combination of the three. The ferociousness of these animals varies throughout any given year or season. Sizes of hogs also vary, ranging from newborn to mature adults. The hog densities are always sufficient for the number of hunters present to take their bag limit.
VARMINTS: Hunting predators and varmints is an extra activity that is not priced into any package and is provided at no charge. Varmints include, but are not limited to Bobcat, Coyote, Fox, Possum, Armadillo, Racoon, Rabbit, Ringtail Cat. There are no guarantees of harvest success with any native predator or varmint. Success is based on conditions such as weather, time of year, breeding cycles, hunter skill (or lack thereof), and of course, luck.
Ringtail Cat
Weapons of choice for the hog hunt include .270 rifles or bigger, blackpowder, pistol, shotgun with slugs, or archery. Varmints and predators are best taken with small caliber rifles if you plan on mounting them.
FOR ALL HUNTING PACKAGES, PLEASE HAVE EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR HUNTING PARTY CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) PAGE AS PREPARATION FOR YOUR HUNT.
