What You Need For Hog Hunting In Texas

By Patricia Murray


Before human beings evolved and picked labour as the main source of livelihoods. They used to hunt for their meals. The art of hunting is still around today but not many do it as a form of providing food for themselves and others. Hunting has become of a hobby for many. Below are some of the things that should be in place before going for hog hunting in Texas.

The first thing is to ensure that you have a chasing license. This is necessary as it shows that the law has allowed you to hunt. You should make sure that the license is on you at all time just in case you run into law enforcement. In the event that you are seeking permission to hunt on private property, you will need to prove that it is legal.

We all prefer different tools to get different jobs done. The same case applies to hunt. Every hunter prefers a certain weapon to put down their targets. With bow hunting, the arrowhead should be broad and sharp. It should also be heavy enough to put a pig down depending on the size. The other options are guns which gives you a bit of distance from your prey.

You should not just bring the one weapon on a hunt. Something like a blade may come in handy while in the field. You may shoot down the pig but as much as it has gone down, it may still be alive. In such a case, you may choose a blade to put the pig out of its misery. This knife should be good enough not to disappoint you in the field.

The same way we are dedicated to picking out an outfit for various occasions, we should have the same dedication when it comes to picking out the hunting attire. Make sure you have a backpack with essentials like a first aid kit or if you are chasing in a group, at least one of you has a backpack. You should also have a piece of clothing that makes it easier for you to identify each other.

First aid is one of those things that people tend to take rather lightly. The one thing that should always be in mind is to carry a first aid kit in case we run into any misfortunes. On the hunt, you may get injured and not necessarily by the wild pigs. You may slide, fall and injure yourself. Without the first aid kit, it will be much harder to help you.

After the pig is down, you will need to move it from the field for the purposes of meat or whatever else. You will need rubber gloves, nylon rope among other things. You can look for a huge piece of clothing that you do not use, lay the pig on it and pull with the nylon rope.

You need to plan the time to go hunting. Wild pigs sleep in the day and graze in the night and early mornings. You will need to pick one of the two times. At night would be best as it gives you more time. Ensure you have enough lighting.
