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.

While hunting, you can not just go up to the pig and convince it to go back with you. You need to pick out a weapon that will be most efficient and one that you are most comfortable with. You may choose a gun, a bow, or a riffle. A gun will need you to be not so far away from the prey while with a rifle, you can shoot at a wide range.

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.

As much a shunting is fun, you cannot just kill the pigs and leave them lying around on the field. You will need to move it to a location in which you can skin the body. It would be impossible to carry it with just your hands and you may need to lay it on a piece of cloth and proceed to pull it with nylon rope.

The one time the pig has authority over the hunter is on the chasing time. The hunter has to wait for a time when they are feeding which is usually during the evenings and early mornings. If you choose to hunt at night you will need night-vision goggles or good lighting.
