Border Bandit Offers Texas Hog Hunting Deal
Got a call yesterday from my friend Shane, owner/operator/chief bottle washer at Border Bandit Hunting Services. After rehashing our recent hunt, he mentioned he had a new hog hunting property coming available and wondered if I’d pass it along on the Hog Blog. Well, I’m always happy to help out a friend, especially one who takes such great care of me when I’m down in Texas, so here goes.
The new place is a 10,ooo acre ranch, about 30 miles or so, southwest of Uvalde, Texas (less than two hours from the San Antonio International Airport). This is the Texas Brush Country, not the Hill Country, but it’s loaded with hogs and deer, as well as the occasional javelina. There are 28 blinds on the place, with feeders set up strategically around the area.
The hunt would be for three full days of hunting (e.g. arrive Thursday evening, hunt all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and depart on Monday morning). There’s a large, and very comfortable lodge on the ranch that can accomodate up to around 20 hunters, although Shane is looking for groups of 8 to 12 hunters. This should allow folks to pick and change blinds as needed without getting too crowded.
Cost for the hunt is $850/hunter, and that includes everything except food. However, there is a big kitchen area, as well as outdoor cooking facilities, so with a little planning, a group could pick up groceries in Uvalde, and do it up in grand style.
The hunt also includes one hog per day, per hunter. If three hogs aren’t enough, you can add more at $100/ea.
Remember that Texas has no tag requirement and no limit for wild hogs. Non-residents simply have to buy a short-term hunting license to shoot as many hogs and exotics as they want. A five-day non-resident license will run you $48. (As I understand it, TX residents don’t even need a license to shoot hogs on private land. )
It’s a pretty good deal for a lot of great hunting. Give Shane a call at: 830-275-2199 if you’re interested in setting something up.
