Welcome to Hogstickers. We know why you're here.
We know it sounds boring to sit in a dark blind for hours, waiting for hogs to wander by so you can stand up quietly and try to nail one before they all scatter into the night at the sound of that one round. And it is: That's 99 percent snoring and 1 percent hunting. Not to mention that, realistically, you get just one shot until the next group happens by -- if one even does.
Hogstickers hunts don't involve a whole lot of sitting around. Our excursions are action-packed and unforgettable, getting you up close and personal with feral boars and sows that can weigh twice what you do. "How'd you kill that thing?" your friends will ask, and you'll answer, "Stabbed it -- right in the heart."
Our main weapon? The amazing abilities of dogs. A well-trained pack of hog-hunting dogs completely changes the character of a hunt: Instead of waiting for hogs, we go after them, tracking canines with GPS receivers and listening for signature barks before we take off after them. Once our hounds close in on a scent, our pit bulls latch on to the face of the cornered prey, creating that key moment when a well-placed knife-blade reduces Texas's feral hog population from 500,000 to 499,999.
Our hunts (like our web site) aren't especially fancy -- or expensive. But if you come out with us, odds are that you'll go home with intense memories that you'll keep for a lifetime (not to mention some wild photos for your Christmas card and Facebook page). The links below will give you a little more information about what it's like to hunt with us, and the email address at left is how you can contact us to check dates and find out more.
