Check out the pay outs and the weights on some of these Texas/Oklahoma hogs being harvested. This contest shuts down a few of my places for an extra 8 weeks AFTER deer season. Can’t blame anybody for chasing the cash……wish dogs were allowed!

Man can hunt a long time and not catch a 378 lb hawg! Or a 3 5/8 cutter! Both killed the first week of the contest. Only rules are no dogs, no helicopters, no traps, no high fence.

Dam that can sure mess up a good area and spot to!
But obviously that area has way way more hogs than what is needed - hope it alls works out for you and the land owners

It doesn’t do anything for the numbers. Most these guys stalk fields with thermals and won’t shoot unless the big one is out there. They’ll come back night after night looking for the right one. Let groups of 80 or more walk right off.

When you have that much prize money involved, there is a good bit of dishonesty going on as well. I quit hunting most of my Wise county spots anyways - too many people have moved in.

Good paycheck though.

Was told lead hog is 459lbs now.

Hard to believe a wild hog could get that big naturally.
