Title: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: txhogsanddogs on April 07, 2011, 08:45:41 am Bengi and i loaded up for a place out in Olney, TX that i got called about that needed some hogs removed. I planned on paying for my trip with the hogs i caught. Let me tell you, these dang hogs know where to get and in a real quick hurry. Well, we got there Friday night and got the dogs and equipment unloaded and got some sleep (went to bed at 3am) Woke up at 6am to get dogs ready. We cut the dogs lose and raod around this place all morning. Didn't even see much sign. by lunch i was about to give up and go home till we where headed in for lunch and pigs where dropping in the wheat fields in the middle of the day. 80 degrees outside. I couldn't believe it. We caught one sow about 125 and the dogs rolled out to 1.25 on the garmin. Bay a good boar, then we got there and the boar came running by, cut the CD lose to catch him and heard the dogs still baying so we went to the bay and it was a 70 pd boar. Caught him and the dogs after a hell of a hike. Coudln't find the catch dog, so went searcg for him on the garmin. He was showing bayed. Went to him and he had a 50 pound boar caught, i guess he lost the bigger boar. We where showing 1.3 on the garmin from where we left the rhino. Hike up and down hills with 4 dogs, and a 70 pound boar on Bengi's back. Man, was i tired. We got loaded up and looked across the way and there was a group of 20 big hogs heading to a watering hole, man at this point i can't feel my legs and my smoking habit is about to kill me over not only that but the dogs where beat. We worked down to them and let the dogs go where i had seen them last. All the sudden superman opens and running fast back towards me. like 5 25 pounders coming running by with superman hot on them, those little be suckers ran my group of dogs in the opisit direction of the big group. right ar a mile later and running all that way i find my 4 curr dogs laying in a tank about to give up. It was too hot for this crap and these guys that invited me told me the place hasn't been dogged. Well, if they havent been they sure as hell no how to get away. ALL in all we ended up with 6 hogs, 5 alive and 1 dog put to much on him. It's was still a good hunt and I'll be going back for sure but i have a little better game plan for West, TX next time. Here are a few pictures from last weekend.

ALl i know is Mr. Boone just past away and the wife still leases it to the same group. There is ALLOT of hogs in there for sure. Just during the day though. NIght time there moving somewhere else.

I've never hog hunted with him but I've been coon hunting with him several times. He told my dad that most of his hogs are found with that American and one other dog he has.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: txhogsanddogs on April 14, 2011, 08:24:49 am I can go back anytime, the next time I go i'll send a post out and maybe we can all meet up. It's got a canyon on the back side and those hogs know how to use it really fast, You cannot have any open mouth dogs for sure. They run as soon as you strike them.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: Hawkins on April 14, 2011, 09:32:01 am I hunt with W-tate. We called up a nice boar with a varmint call on Boone's place. Nice hogs around that area.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: thomas on April 14, 2011, 09:35:43 am That sounds like a plan. How many acres is that place?
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: Hawkins on April 14, 2011, 09:47:49 am 5000 if I remember right.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: txhogsanddogs on April 14, 2011, 10:05:39 am They sold some from what i got from them. It's 2,000 acres but they have permission next door where most of them where at and it's another 2500 acres.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: thomas on April 14, 2011, 10:41:07 am That's a pretty nice size place
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: txhogsanddogs on April 18, 2011, 10:09:37 pm It was a good time for sure beside me getting sick and ending the hunt sooner thatn i wanted. I'll be in touch the next time i'm out that way.
Title: Re: Hog Hunt in Olney, TX Post by: thomas on April 18, 2011, 10:21:45 pm Sounds good
