Hog hunt in the U.S. March 2025

[John the Electrician]

I want to take my son (15) on a multi day hog hunt next month. He has spring break and we are able to go from March 15-24th; allowing for travel days on the front and back end.

In a perfect world the hunt would consist of both thermal at night and day hunting as well; a 50/50 mix. I am trying to get him a varied experience.

I am open to both private property and to professional outfitters alike. I completely understand there would be costs for the opportunity.

We are very flexible on location a 20 hour drive time from the Minneapolis area would probably be the maximum I would want to spend driving.

Please feel free to reply in public or with a PM if anyone has opportunities or suggestions.

Thank you in advance. John

High Plains Hunts in the TX panhandle has a pretty good reputation. I haven't hunted with them, but have a lease in the same general area. They do yotes and hogs. Most of the hog hunting will be after dark.

If you're on FB, lots of info on the TX Outfitters page. One of the issues with TX is that anyone can call themselves a " guide". So do your homework.

Good Luck!

We seen feral hogs while hunting with @gizmo on his place outside of Turkey Tx. Might be worth giving him a shout. Great food and accommodations.

I’m can recommend Harding ranches outside rock springs. Might be a bit longer drive than you want. I was just there a couple weeks ago. Hunt report at:

Thread 'USA: Annual Harding Ranch Adventure'

Feb 10, 2025

got back a couple weeks ago from our annual guys trip to the Harding Ranch 45minutes North of Del Rio Tx. This was my 5th year back and as usual it never disappoints. Always a fun time with friends Drinking scotch, smoking cohibas, and shooting stuff.

Day 1: 4 of us headed over this year for our annual guys trip. We left Globe AZ at 0300 and made the 12 hour drive to the Harding ranch on Sunday January 19th. We were met at the gate by the new guide Derek (as well as a herd of oryx and nilgai cows) who let us in and handed us the keys to the house and the side by sides...

I agree with @BnC 04. Give @gizmo a shout. His ranch is about 15hrs from Minneapolis….

Thank you for the responses. I have reserved three nights worth of thermal hunting in southern Georgia for mid March.

I will recap the hunt when we get back. It should be great fun, although a bit of a grind. The outfitter said three nights would be pretty rough and many do not have the fortitude to do it.

Last year I hunted in TX and the second night never got off the ground due to severe weather. Seventeen hours of driving is a long way to go for a two day hunt, which may get cut short.

The kiddo says he can do three nights and I feel I can still manage to get it done as well. Looking forward to it!
