I'm be transferred to Ft Hood in a few weeks. Any advise on the hunting down that way. I can't wait to get after the hogs. If you need a hunting partner drop me a line.

hey bruse...be careful..you will scare away the usual crowd.....lol...im from texas and live in texas...i was also stationed at fort hood as a tanker...glad your here....ill look into some sites for hogs down my wa..and around there...lmao..there are plenty in north fort. But the army wont let us shoot htem on a tank range lol...ill get back to you and see if i can find you something....untill then...enjoy the heat..grab a fan... and enjoy as much as possible

I don't want to scare anyone and I don't want anyone's honey hole. I know how it gets when someone new shows up, Any help one gets is great when moving into a new area. It sure is hot here in KS so I'm sure its just as hot there. Got about 2 weeks before we make the journey down.

Hiya bruse...Just wondering bro...what is it that your looking for..like an  guided hunt...or just a friend to gowith like a private property thing?...and how far are willing to travel in the state of texas? Do you still get your 21 days of vacation? just asking is all...i trying to help...meanwhile...i hope you have a safe trip down.

I'm just looking for some guys who hunt public and private land to hunt or even a club to join. I'll travel a little ways. I do plan to get out all over the state but that will go with time. Not in a real big hurry as I ahve to get the family set up first. I do hope to ahve some time to hunt or scout some stuff out after we get moved and school starts. thanks for your help.

hey bruse...sorry i got a little busy than normal...i went out today and "plinked" with a 22lrand ar-15 and an sks..and a ak-47--then finally eneded up with a 12gauge. it was fun...but i also asked sombody about a hog hunt down my way...its about 6 to 7 hour away from Killen...or fort hood..what ever you wanna callit...lol..ill get an answer a few days down the road...as for fort hood hunting i guess youll have to get an outfitter.to help you out..or maybe talk to the guys you meet and see if they can set you up with a hunt...im still trying though....may our shells be big and our targets small....lmao

I have never hunted there, but I understand from some of my co-workers that there are hunting opportunities available at Ft. Hood.

thanks guys, there is hunting on the fort for sure. I'm always looking for other places to go. it is hard and almost impossible to hunt on the fort with a rifle unless they are offering guided hunts so I'll be bow hunting on the fort but just looking for a place to hunt with a rifle as well. thanks again.

BRUSE,
Hove you arrived at Fort Hood yet? I can recommend a couple of places locally to go; Shiney Top Ranch, and the Lackey Ranch by Burnett. If you go to the sportsman center there is a flyer for the Lackey Ranch there. You can google Shiney Top for info there. You can also go to the sportsman center on post at 0230 Saturdays toward the end of deer season and talk to Spell about hunting in his guided area, 82A i believe. They were getting a few hogs out there last year. Hope that helps

where are you located rjobe2? Just curious is all i noticed  youposted about hogs in victoria. Im not to far away from there..Im in El Campo

You will not ave to go anywhere to hunt Ft. Hood has it all. They have deer,turkey hogs,quail,rabbits,squirrels,Axis and Black Buck (if you are lucky). it is 200sq miles and takes up 2 counties with varying terrain. To go into the Live Fire areas you will need a 4wd vehicle. I Do not like the regulations they have out there and the biologists are bird ;overs so deer hunters lose out. i have not hunted out there for a couple of years, but i have heard they have the quotas all messed up. To hunt with archery you have to qualify on their range. I have killed hogs, turkey, quail, squirrels and rabbits out there, but have never been in the right place at the righttime due to the damn quota system. But there are MEGA Monsters out there I have friends that have take deer all the way up to 31 inches wide. I live in harker heights right off of post.

I just set up and got a place on post. I've got my licence and achery qualified as well. I noticed most the areas are closed right now. I do plan on going and riding around and scouting some areas but the list is small. Any ideas of where to start. A Guy at the Sportsman center showed me some pics of some big bucks. He is a guide out there. He gave me a few places but once again all closed.lol if you wanna chase some hogs let me. Thanks for the reply.

Mickey D,
I saw the quotas you were talking about today. I can't believe this at all. Each area has a 1 buck quota. That really sucks gonna be hard to be in the right spot at the right time.

Sorry I forget to check this but about twice a year. Bruse i sent you a pm.

well let me answer the ft hood question once and for all.  I am a disabled vet. I went there and bought my license friday and for a 200sq mile acess permit it was 60 bucks. 100 for civilian. Pictures say it all. Nonof there are mine, but i saw the biggest deer I have ever seen in the field.  If these pics did not attach email me a phone number and i can txt them to you quickly.

My grand son-in-law has been stationed at Hood for a few months....don't know if he has had chance to check out hunting....PM me if you want to make contact with him.

 

BTW, I will be flying in to San Antone midday Sunday for a little hunting with my buddy Jay Leyendecker from Laredo (and Botswana where I met him). Gonna do a little Black Buck hunting....probably take a white tail too.

Here's a little buck I got last weekend. His rack was busted and he had a really bad limp. Now I'm looking for the big one that hurt him. Hope the quatos are filled to fast.

Man, I am stationed at Carson and tried for two years to hunt on post. What a pain in the hind parts!!! Lucky there is plenty of public land here. Got my first elk (5x5) in 2ndrifle on public land 4 hours NW!!

Congrats on the elk. I've been looking at elk hunts and different states for a diy hunt. WY is also on the list but CO doesnt seem to to bad either. Is it crowded on public land out there.

Bruse, grand-son-in-law has not even had time to look or scout for hunting....not interested in hooking up at this time. Sorry.
