General Rules/Information for Hog and Javelina Hunters

Arrival & Departure:

• Please plan to arrive after 11:00AM and before dark the day of your hunt.

• Text or call me when you hit the gravel road since I may be out baiting

•   Check-in at lodge for signing liability release and orientation and final payment

•   We ask that on your last day, clear your room, refrigerator, and food shelf off by 10:00AM and depart by 11:AM so that I may clean it for the next group.

Pasture and Baits:

•  Draw blood=kill

• You may only hunt the baits I assign. 2 baits per hunter

•  No driving all over the pasture at night.  Report to your bait and return to the HQ whenever you want.

•  Do not add anything to the baits and do not tamper with them because hogs are smart and suspicious.

•  Leave barrels as you found them so I know if they’ve been hit.

• You may move any tripods around the bait but do not move to another bait without asking.

• Do not shoot hogs or javelina and not recover.  Make a serious effort to find your game.

• All javelina need to be recorded with hunter’s license number in cold storage book.

• Do not set up on property line.

•  You may take a firearm in the pasture.  Do not wear it around camp.

• Report any illegal alien activity

• Hunters are responsible for their own transportation to and from the pasture.  It is advisable to bring tire sealer and plugs, extra fuel if staying for an extended time.

• Please respect artifacts, like arrowheads and petrified wood, and leave them on the ground.

Camp

• Hunters are responsible for their own sheets, pillows, towels, and food

• A kitchen complete with pots/pans, stove, microwave and coffee pots are there for you to use, as well as BBQ pits.  Bring trash liners to put you game in. I have a Keurig coffee machine.

• Please be considerate of other groups and keep kitchen clean, wash your dishes and put up!

• Keep food, coffee pots and coolers out of room because they may leak. 

• Butt cans are furnished. DO NOT THROW BUTTS ON THE GROUND or in the pasture..

No hunt-day money refunded if you leave early.  I reserve the right to cancel your hunt if you don’t respect my rules. Thanks, and good luck on your hunt.

From our hunters:
"Just a short note to let you know what a great time we had down there.
My son and I look forward to a Texas pig hunt trip every year. “Michigan winters can be brutal.”
What a great time we had, the facilities are the best we have experienced in my 15 years of hunting south Texas.
Chris was an exceptional host and made sure we were all comfortable and happy.
I cannot say enough about the trip, We will be back hopefully in February 2013"
