Hey Jake if you want a passenger I'll split fuel and go with you. I have been out to Caddo on the 7th and 13th and have seen very recent sign. My buddy was getting sick so we only stayed for a couple hours but I'm itching to get back out and get a hog!
I know it's late but shoot me a PM if you want to go out.

I went to Old Sabine Bottom WMA last weekend on the suggestion of Colt.45. He has told me it can get wet out there... I did not take his word as seriously as I should have. I left DFW after work around 3:30ish, got to OSB right before dark. It was cool and WET. I slept in my truck and woke up around 6:00 to get ready to go out and hunt. My truck said 21 degrees and it sure felt it. I started off at Green Head and walked around for about an hour and a half and saw plenty of signs hogs had been in the area recently (tracks, scat, and areas where they had dug around), I heard plenty of gun shots coming from west of where I was so I made my way back to the truck and moved locations. Don't remember the name of the second location I went to but I roamed that area for a couple more hours and again saw plenty of signs hog were in the area. I finally got too wet and too cold to want to keep walking around.
I plan on going back again soon and have bought a pair of Muck boots instead of just my water proof Merrells (water proof boots don't help if the water goes OVER the top of the boots).

that brings back memories. Son & i spent many hours whin it flooded, waist high at times finding the higher parts. Gone threw many tennishoes & socks. Got a pocket notebook filled with GPS cordanances of rubs, scrapes, wallows, mud rubs, places seen deer or hogs. beds. was day dreamen bout OSBWWMA while over looking feeders. finding hogs was always easy part. usualy spent more time videoing than shooting. move slow see sign, stop. look, move even slower, keeping eyes scanning. if real fresh sit & listen.

The drive is 2-2 1/2 hours from DFW area, I am in Keller. I wish I would have stayed longer last weekend but cold wet feet can make a hunt not too enjoyable.

Are there any hogs in the Sam Houston National Forest? I have a Public Hunting permit. I've been out there for deer but never saw any pigs.
Alcohol,Tobacco, and Firearms. Should not be a government bureau. Should be a department store.
