There’s something special about heading into the Texas woods with a group of mates, rifles in hand, and the anticipation of a night filled with wild hog action. Group hog hunts have become one of the most popular experiences offered by Texas Hog Hunting Outfitters, and once you’ve done one, it’s easy to understand why.
At the centre of it all is East Texas outfitter Bruce Hunnicutt, a man who has built a reputation for delivering genuine, down-to-earth hog hunting experiences that hunters come back for year after year.
Hunting with Friends – The Way It Should Be
While solo hunts have their place, hog hunting with a group of friends brings an entirely different energy to the experience.
The stories begin before the hunt even starts — during the travel, over dinner at the lodge, and while checking rifles before heading out to there stand.
Some of our groups have been booking for the same dates past 20 years and the stories never get tired, someone ads a new twist or forgets something lol!
A group hunt often turns into as much of a social adventure as a hunting trip. Hunters share strategies, talk about past hunts, and enjoy the camaraderie that only comes from spending time outdoors together.
When the hunters get into there stands in the afternoon, the hogs begin appearing in the afternoon golden hours moving through the feeders or food crops, the excitement ramps up quickly. Even if one hunter is pulling the trigger, everyone is part of the action.
And back at camp afterwards, the stories grow bigger with every retelling.
Why East Texas Hog Hunting Is Perfect for Groups
East Texas provides ideal hog habitat — thick timber, creek bottoms, and plenty of food sources that support strong hog populations year-round, meaning there is always a chance for action.
Bruce Hunnicutt knows the country intimately and works hard to ensure each group has the best possible opportunity to encounter hogs.
Limited Dates – Plan Well Ahead
Because group hunts are so popular, the available dates each year are limited. Most groups plan their trips many months in advance to make sure they can secure the time that works best for everyone.
Waiting until the last minute can mean missing out on the dates you want — particularly during peak travel periods when hunters from around the country and overseas make their way to Texas.
The best approach is simple: get your group organised early and lock in a date and then rebook the for the following years ahead.
A Trip You’ll Want to Repeat
One of the reasons hunters keep coming back to hunt with Bruce Hunnicutt is the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s genuine Texas hospitality combined with some of the most exciting hog hunting you’ll find anywhere.
Many groups make it an annual tradition, returning each year with the same crew — and sometimes bringing along a few new mates who have heard the stories and want to experience it for themselves.
Book Early and Secure Your Spot
If you and your mates have been talking about doing a Texas hog hunt together, now is the time to make it happen.
Get the group together, choose some potential dates, and reach out to Texas Hog Hunting Outfitters to secure your hunt.
Because once the stories start coming back from the guys who made the trip… you’ll wish you had booked sooner.
