RE: How much would you pay?
$75 per day for a hog bowhunt is the average price in s. Texas. There are alot of ranches that offer hog hunts for this price, most of the time they are very good ranches that offer an excellect chance of harvesting some pigs. Bowhunts in Texas are generally ALOT cheaper then rifle hunts, especailly if your talking about exotics.

$75 per day is getting harder to find, though. Most are going up to $100 +. Probably due to having to buy hogs for hunters. We trap them and sell them to game ranches now.
What I like about this deal is the unlimited hogs. They said everyone has seen hogs and gotten shots on hogs, but many archers miss or place the shot poorly and go home without a hog.
My sister was concerned about why we should provide a tip. Tipping, in my mind, should be for service. I figured if they help us track and find a hog or quarter one for us, we should give a tip.

I know a guy that for several years in a row went to Texas in the off season to hunt pigs. His was a self supporting type hunt. You brought your tent, your gear, found your own food and took care of your own game. He paid $50 a day to do that.... but he was on the King Ranch.

Geez, do they wipe your arse for you too? So where exactly is the challenge in this sort of hunt? Would there be any difference than going to farmer Ted's and shooting one of his pigs while eating out of a trough? I don't see the fun in it but to each his own.

I'm assuming you are referencing the feeders. It is not as easy as you think. The feeders keep the hogs in the area, but that don't mean they come in to it.
