    Uvalde Texas hunting

    Tomorrow I am leaving MO for TX to visit my buddy and do some hunting at his girlfriends parents ranch about 10 miles outside Uvalde. Hoping to see some hogs, coyotes and bobcats. Anyone done any hunting down there? How is it? Full of piggies? I'd really like to kill a nice sow down there to eat with my 6.5 grendel. I haven't taken any game with it besides the big buck I got this year in KY.

    I've been down to Crystal City which is just south to visit my grandpa when he was alive. Seen alot of piggies dead along side the road. Maybe one of the Texas guys will chime in... I'm jealous BTW!
    12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel

    Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.

    Aim small, miss small!

        I'm not sure which side of Uvalde it is. They just bought the ranch and named it Kris-Jen Ranch after the owners daughters. Larry Wright owns it and just high-fenced it. I think its about 800 acres or so. My buddy said they didn't see any hogs when they bought it. Then they put up deer feeders and have been seeing a few hogs since then. They have killed 5 in the last year. I guess some got fenced in the high fence. I know it is on the Frio River and the house itself overlooks the Frio. I think the directions my buddy texted me said to go down Connor Lane Uvalde TX, which appears to be just south of town on google maps. I hope there are more inside the high fence I can bag. They used to own a Ranch outside Dilley TX and sold it and bought this one by Uvalde....

          Oh ok. I know where its at basically. That area has hogs here and there... its not crazy thick with them though. Lots of that area tends to get managed by helicopters and guns. Then theres a lot of high fences that restrict movement of animals. Who knows there may be more pigs in that place... 800 acres of brush hides animals very well even if its high fenced down here. A friend of mine has 600 high fenced and they see deer theyve never seen before every year.. never know. Javelina dig under the high fences alot too. High fence dont stop everything from coming in and out... that place is just a few miles south of my uvalde property.

            Its not far enough south, or west to be in a more hog target rich enviornment... but you never know, that dont mean there arent some running around at all.

                    I've been hunting in rocksprings which is fairly close to Uvalde south west and there are hogs the. It is pot luck though. The are still allot of acorn on the ground and is relatively green for this time of year.

                    Odds are pretty good if they have been feeding year round there but depending on hunting pressure which is higher this time of year the hogs could be more nocturnal than normal.

                    Good luck.

                        I got a big Axis buck two months ago on my friend's 2000 acre ranch just NW of Uvalde. That place is one of the most quit and peaceful places on earth. The only thing you hear are the occasional USAF training aircraft high up in the sky.
