Hogs at San Luis Pass

How about a trail cam photo? Video takes a lot of waiting and stalking time and a portion of luck but I should be able to get a still photo with a time and date stamp at a particular location I know of on the island, toghether with the land owner's name and cell phone # in case you want to verify. My trail cams don't record video as far as I know.

I promise you they are here, I have seen them and would have no reason to lie about it.

Awww well dammm, i already lost. robalo jsut sent me a picture of what was at his house last weekend.

im got my sour corn brewing!

Yes they are around and they go wherever they want whenever they want, usually at night. Plenty of coyotes as well.

Good one about the cats.

[JT]

LMAO...Nows yours chance....Would you like to take some action on that also on just a straight up bet? ill give you some odds.

[dbarham]

my game camera is going up near the pass with a bag of corn in da front!!!

[JT]

I never said that I I I I wanted to do that but these guys up here used to.

OK...ill go ahead and call bullsheet on wild hogs on the island around SLP or anywhere else on the ISLAND. Produce a video by June 1 and ill donate $500 bucks to the website....

We'll stop all this sport magazine reading fairy tales.

Hey I resemble that remark. Sullivans sold the hogs to the city along with the sand.

I like hogs (4 legged ones) and hope that I see one at SLP-I damn tired of shooting feral cats-some troll in a toll both will turn my azz in for dem cats, but heck with hogs-he can't beotch about that!!


Now, I guess I can't shoot at those "tannin hogs" on da beach though. I doubt my barrel would work anyway on those.

I hunt them hard too, not in Galveston but at a 400 acre place in Madison County (Navasota River Bottom) that I lease. I have killed a lot of them and walked up on a lot of them in the dark (not a great feeling when you only have a bow), and every now and again you get one with a nasty temper that will run at you instead of away. This guy's experence is going to make me a little more cautious as I have gotten kind of complacent about being around them.

I been trappin killing and eatin hawgs all my life...caught killed and eaten hundreds of em and they WILL attack!! and its only getting worse as they evolve watch pig bomb on discovery! BTW JT if you decide to put on a makin' a boar a barrow clinic, I wanna witness that!! YES they are at the pass and everywhere else they travel hundreds of miles they come and go!

Sullivan Ranch, located at about 12 Mile Road which is well East of the pass but I have seen them further west than that and there is no reason they could not roam the pass asrea at night.

There are definitely hogs in that area - I live on the west end of Galveston and have seen them. In fact a buddy of mine has about 100 acres on the west end that are eaten up with them. What happened to this guy is rare but it is possible. I am thinking about tracking him down to ask him about it firsthand. If you zoom on the picture, you can see what lok like bandaged stitches above his left elbow.

where is the 100 acres? im just curious.

i grew up around and on a ranch all my life but wtf does cowboy up mean?lmao. just joking w. you and btw..sorry about your dog boom..ive seen that before and it sucks.

I'll try Boo next time and then be cussing JT's name the whole way back home as the darn things chasing me

Okay, WEA, why did the hog stop chasing you on the mud flat???

I posted a report about it 4 years ago when it happened... There was maybe 30 members back then lol

I have no clue why it stopped I was out there just pushing the SeaArk off cause I took a wrong turn... I get her moving I'm in my waders its 30 degrees out wind is howling out of the North at like 20 mph and this beast comes running at me from out of the brush I go to get out of the mud / water... I sink to my knees in mud... Waders are now holding me down... I rip them off and go flying into the boat... Grab the shotgun turn and the beast is gone! After about 5 min of spotting flash light and listening there was no sign of it... I'm really surprised it didn't continue to come as I was screaming like a little girl when I sank trying to get out of the water

Jumped out on the other side after retrieving my waders and began to pull instead of push lol... Got the boat turned around and into deep water cranked engine... Wouldn't start... 4 more cranks and battery dies because of cold the gas tank I realized later on the fitting was sucking air so we had to swap tanks which was the empty one so had to pour gas into other tank... No go because battery dead so I grab a broken paddle sit on bow of the 24' boat and paddled for 3 hours back to the ramp a normal 20 min boat ride resulted in me paddling, pushing and nearly getting eaten alive on a mud flat... Did I mention that going into a North wind with a paddle is NOT FUN! This prompted me to buy a Gator-Tail no more getting out to push I go where I want to now
