I've never hunted and would love to tag along on a hog hunt. My last one fell through so if any of y'all get one going and don't mind a tag along, let me know!
Some friends of mine on facebook are offering to let me go with them. They said they have several thousand acres of pecan orchards. If I can get it figure out with them you're welcome to come. They said it's around Taylor around Austin somewhere.

Better be careful. You'll have everybody on this board wanting to go. Including me, lol

hell I would jump on it.
Land owner - "Yeah! those damn hogs are tearing up my stuff!"
Hunter - "I'll hunt them and get rid of your problem"
Land Owner - "Excellent! That will be $200 per gun per day and sign this 1200 page waiver release and if you sneeze I'll call the cops, thank you"

As I have stated before, if the land owner has ever been to a public gun range and witnessed the full blown retard that happens at one, why would he think YOU are any better with a gun than those yahoos. It takes time to build relationships with the ranchers.
I get asked to kill pigs all over the place because I have taken the time to cultivate a trust with landowners all over the area, as opposed to bitching about not understanding why landowners in Texas aren't just opening their gates and inviting everyone and their brother in to shoot his livestock.

LOL! I wanna go too. Really!
We get all of that BUT they still bitch and vagina rag about a problem of 3.5 million hogs on the lose tearing up their property. Are you saying that after all of these YEARS they were unable to meet/greet/befriend a few to solve their problem... hmmm?
Most of them have. I tell people "no" all the time as I just do not have the time to travel all over the state and kill pigs. The people that offer to pay me for that skill set get first priority.
most have at one time allowed yahoos on their property as well and found bullet holes in cows, horses, water troughs, and in one case his dog.
if they do not know you, expect to be charged a fee.
You get PAID for killing! Good god damn all mighty lol .... and here I was traveling to Corsicana and San Angelo laying waste to herds of them for free. I am certainly going to have to start calling around to see how much I can charge - whew-wee.
If you do, and you have the technology to effectively chase them at night( and there are a lot of pigs) you may want to charge by the pig.
I generally work a trade with the Landowner. I have no shortage of counties I can hunt deer, duck, dove and turkey in.
And yes, I caught the sarcasm in your response. You may want to ask Sig_Fiend and Texas1911 what my fulltime job was before left it in November to work overseas.
I have a major hog problem and am not a dick as long as you don't do anything illegal, don't go '"muddin'" and pick up your trash. Yes, there's a waiver involved (I'm nice, not stupid). No charge. Only interested in eradication with cleanup; not one off hunting. PM me for details.
Another reason landowners may be reluctant to let people hunt on their land is that there are more effective ways of killing them. Unless you are geared to the hilt( NV, Thermal, suppressed, have a Polaris , etc) then hunting under lights, or with spotlights is generally good for one or two pigs.
A trap is good for dozens, and snares are good for hundreds.

For you city slickers who may not understand what a hog problem is; I snapped these pics at my place in Fannin County this morning:

You need to invest in some land mines.
