About Your Trip

Unlimited evening hog hunts, over 8000 acres accessible to hunt in the Garwood/El Campo TX area. Uses drones with thermal cameras to find hogs when stalking around. Pigs are primarily a nocturnal animal especially in the hot summer months, due to being very susceptible to sunburn and lacking sweat glads to cool themselves. This makes hunting pigs with the aid of thermal a very effective means, especially in open areas such as crop/hay fields. This method usually leads to older and bigger pigs being taken off the area.
