A few friends and I are graduating from highschool this year and feel that a road/hunting trip is in order for this summer. We've got 5 or 6 in the party and we'd most likely be going on June 14th and staying for close to a week. After a bit talking we've decided that a feral hog hunting trip would be the most fun. I don't know much about hog hunting as I'm from Minnesota and have only hunted waterfowl, upland game, and deer my whole life, and because we have a pretty tight budget it would have to be a DIY unguided trip (which I prefer anyways). Lodging wouldn't be a problem because a few of the guys in the group work for a hotel that would give them free rooms and we would camp a few nights as well.
I understand that there is a a year round season for feral hogs and there seems to be no shortage of them down there, but could anyone recommend a certain area/county in Texas to try where our odds of success are at their greatest?
I'm mainly just looking for any general advice such as planning, locations, what to expect, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
