    Hot Lead from Hot Springs...Bad for Hogs.

    We killed over 600 hogs last year, so, thankfully, our cost per hog isn't nearly as high as you calculated. I bought my first night scope 12 years ago....before night vision was "cool", so that also helps to reduce the cost per hog. I wish I would've kept up with the numbers better in the old...

    Hot Lead from Hot Springs...Bad for Hogs.

    Most of our rifles are suppressed AR-10's (.308) with 4 lb. Timney triggers. They are either topped with 6x, Gen3 night scopes (like in these pics) or thermal weapon sights. In addition to the weapons/optics, all of our hunters wear helmet-mounted, Gen3, aviator-style night vision googles...

    Hot Lead from Hot Springs...Bad for Hogs.

    We originally had Randy lined up to come down from Arkansas and hunt with us on Feb. 11. He was going to hunt with us and then go on a two-day varmint hunt in West Texas, before returning to the Hot Springs area. When we saw all of the snow and ice on the weather forecast, we were able to...

    Change TX Law on Suppressor Use for Hunting Game Animals?

    Sure you would....Hunting with a prohibited weapon is a State Class A misdemeanor....a trip to the local jail, a hefty fine, and THEN a visit from the Feds!

    Change TX Law on Suppressor Use for Hunting Game Animals?

    I would have to say "Yes" as well. Honest people are going to be honest....crooks will be crooks. I don't think that the legality of suppressor use will change that. If it were legal to use supressed weapons on game animals, the poachers would probably view that as just another law that didn't...

    Carpenters Can Shoot!...16 Hogs Down!

    Well, when I saw David on another forum, I was trying to figure out his User ID, dwdbutcher..... I thought his last name must be Butcher. After talking to him, he told me that it stood for David, the Wood Butcher ! He may be a carpenter but, as it turns out, he and his crew can whittle down the...

    Bad Night for 12 Hogs!

    Jim and crew came to town last week for a little R & R.....Rest and Relaxation via Rooter Rehabilitation! It was a warm night, considering the past few days and it wasn't long before the hot lead was flying. The first stalk was out into a MUDDY cornfield....one that became the final resting...

    Dad sets bad example for son and hunters!

    I've got several buddies that are Game Wardens..... this guy isn't alone! Some of the stories that they tell about "Dads" will make you sick.... Like the Dad that shot a buck that didn't meet the new antler restrictions. He told his son to lie and say that the buck was his, thinking that the...

    Successful Madison County (TX) Youth Hunt

    Thanks for the kind words guys.....It's a lot of work but the looks on the kid's faces make it all worthwhile. Some of these kids come from broken homes and don't have the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors or shooting sports. We all believe that the kids are our future and my volunteers...

    Successful Madison County (TX) Youth Hunt

    Well, the 2009 Madison County Youth Hunt is in the books and we had a great time! The weather didn't exactly cooperate but that didn't stop 17 young hunters from harvesting 9 deer and one wild hog. The kids braved the rain and cold but they never complained. The group consisted of 7th and 8th...

    Boar Hunting.

    There are a lot of options in Texas, But you DO have to have a valid hunting license to hunt hogs. Feral hogs are considered an "exotic", so they can be hunted all year with no bag limits, day or night....even with spotlights, night vision, fully automatic and/or supressed weapons. There is...

    No...we have some videos on YouTube but Rod, owner of Jager Pro, is in Georgia. We're in Central Texas. We have some of the same equipment that he does....thermal weapon sights, night vision scopes and night vision goggles. Our weapons of choice are AR10's, chambered in .308, but we also use a...

    Here's a few of ours. Ar-10's and Ar-15's, chambered in .223, .243 WSSM and .308. They are all topped with either 6x Gen3 night scopes or thermal weapon sights, and most are suppressed. Here's a few friends after a night of hog control.....I think their total was 16 hogs and 2 coyotes...
