I'll be there mid April and wondering if there are any good hog hunting ranches in the area for hog hunting with my crossbow?

Appreciate the information.AJ01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:39 amJeff, that whole area is loaded with hogs. You should be able to find plenty of places to fill your needs. For Turkeys, you'll need to move west from there. Might be a few in that area, but nothing like you'll find in Central Texas. Lots of places around San Antonio and Bandera to hunt Turkeys.
What we call the Edwards Plateau area is full of Thunder Chickens!!
If you're driving, all these areas can be reached in a few hours from Spring.
If you travel up toward Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn Lake area, you'll find Eastern Turkeys in a few counties (Angelina being the primary), for spring. But no Rio's.
Just remember, Texas is like 95% private land. Hunts can be costly. I'd invite you to hunt Easterns at one of my places, but Texas Parks and Wildlife closed our spring season. Seems there wasn't a sufficient number of young birds that made it thru the drought last summer.
Both the Sam and Toledo are also lousy with White Bass and Crappie this time of year.
Good luck on your quest.

I'll be there for my future son in laws bachelor party. So between going to the balletand whatever else we get in to maybe we can squeeze in a hog hunt! Lol
Let's see, just a few miles up the road from Downtown Houston, 4th largest city in the USA. (Spring is basically a suburb of Houston), Houston is the largest city in Texas. Bars that are open 23 out of 24 hours, not far from the Mexican border, not far from the Gulf Coast.
