Hogs in New Mexico or Western Texas?
« on: December 17, 2009, 03:13:33 PM »
I've been dying to go hog hunting but don't really want to travel too far. Anyone know of a place to hunt in those areas that would be reasonable? Have a 44 mag revolver and just got a Marlin 1894 44 mag that I want to use on a big pig.

Probably better off going after javalina in that area

I've shot javelina and it's lot of fun. They weigh all of 30-35 pounds. Very hard to get drawn these days. I really would like to get into a big hog just for something different.

Check the area around Paducah Texas, and Matador Texas. I have seen some BIG HOGS on the side of US70 highway thru there MANY TIMES. That's about as West Texas as you can get, and they have hogs.

Thx. Sounds like they're around Lubbock too as I did see there are some guides there.

I understand from an article in the newspaper that some are along the Pecos river.
