Hi, Howie. I'm about an hour or so away. You have just moved into the largest Whitetail deer herd in North America. PM me and give me the details.

Howie,

My wife is from San Antonio and we visit her family there for about 4 weeks a year. And always during Thanksgiving. We're going to be there from the 20th to the 30th of this month. Most of the family ranchs are about 45 minutes outside San Antonio, in the Rio Medina/Quihi area.

Gotta test out my new NightBlaster over the feeder that I hung there in April. Great hog huntin' along with that Deer heard!!!!!!!!!

Once my 15 year old goes off to college, we intend to move from CT out to that area of TX.

im going to marry a beautiful black headed blue eyed cajun girl who loves to hunt as much as i do, i really am lucky im starting her out with some squirrel hunting and deer hunting she will progress to hogs very quickly. we hunted this past weekend as we were walking to the box stand a big hog ran in front of us huffing and snorting it was an adrenalin rush for both of us. She even helps me dig bait holes, she also says she knows how to skin pigs!!!!! so this is a dream come true for me and my daughters now ill have an excuse to buy an extra rifle shotgun bow and muzzleloader once again thanks

:grin: Congratulations Howie! Is that why you've been so quiet here lately? BTW, would she happen to have a sister? :wink:

Warning Howie!
ALL women say that they like hunting pigs, that is untill you put that ring on their finger. There is nothing that will kill a womans zeal for hunting like marriage.

Just kidding

she is awesome and a real Hottie also, wondered how a short fat guy like me would get such a beauty? lol must be fate. we are hunting in the morning she will carry the reminton 7400 308, and i will sit there and watch. the bucks are really moving. im going to introduce her into bowhunting soon. ive never seen a woman who likes hunting as much as me we went to academy to get her some clothes for work the first place she went was the hunting section. deep down i just smiled and thought perfect woman. it is heck trying to get my reps in on the hunting game North america 29 by cabelas.

Howie,

Not trying to get your head away from that sweetie pie, but you did ask about hunting San Antonio way.

If you want a good quality year-round lease for all species expect to pay in the $2K to $3K range and you will probably need to buddy up to get that. You might find some good land for less that will need work, then expect to lose it if you do too much work or start taking trophy game. I have an uncle who has some as-yet unleased land that would be good for hogs and deer, maybe doves, that he might lease for the remainder of the season or next year if you prefer. Let me know in a PM if you think you might want to go that route.

The good news is that for hogs you can probably hook up with a free hunt or two with the right farmer/rancher who wants his hogs thinned out. Don't know any personally, but they are out there. ASCS office is a good place to get names and phone numbers of landowners in the county you want to hunt.

Congrats on your upcoming matrimony!! I only dream about my wife drifting into the hunting section at Academy (on her own and not looking for me, that is).

Give me a shout when you get to San Antonio. I'm 32 miles East of S.A. Lots of hogs out here in my area, but difficult to get permission to hunt private land. Most of the folks out here prefer to hunt the hogs with dogs. Nothing like sticking a BIG hog with a knife! :twisted:
