World-Class Hog Hunting in Texas | Fleming Day

Nighttime Hog Hunting Adventure in Texas

Trip Overview

Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping night out in the heart of Texas with Fleming Day Hunts. This isn't your average hunting trip - we're talking after-dark action, thermal scopes, and the chance to bag some serious pork. For $250 per hog, you'll be geared up with top-notch thermals and firearms to take on these destructive critters. The hunt kicks off at sundown, usually around 6 PM, and you can book for as many nights as you want to maximize your chances. But here's the kicker - while you're out there chasing hogs, you might just get a shot at some bonus varmints like bobcats, coyotes, or even mountain lions at no extra cost. Just remember to snag a hunting license for those extras, but you're good to go license-free for the hogs. This hunt runs year-round, so you can scratch that hunting itch whenever it strikes.

Inside the Hunt

When the sun dips below the horizon, that's when our hunt comes alive. We'll load up in the truck and head out to prime hog territory. These tusked troublemakers are most active at night, which is why we gear you up with state-of-the-art thermal scopes. You'll be able to spot heat signatures from a distance, giving you the upper hand in this nocturnal pursuit. Our guides know these lands like the back of their hand and will position you for the best shot opportunities. We keep the groups small - max of six hunters - to ensure everyone gets plenty of action. As we creep through the Texas brush, keep your eyes peeled and your trigger finger ready. When a sounder of hogs shows up on the thermal, it's game on. The rush of spotting, stalking, and taking down these crafty creatures under the cover of darkness is something you've got to experience to believe.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Hog hunting at night is a whole different ballgame from your typical daytime hunt. We'll be using thermal imaging technology to spot our quarry, which shows up as glowing heat signatures against the cooler background. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you've got the hang of it, you'll be picking out hogs from hundreds of yards away. The terrain we'll be covering varies from open fields to dense thickets - perfect hog habitat. These animals are smart and have an incredible sense of smell, so we'll be working the wind to our advantage. We'll teach you how to move quietly, read sign even in the dark, and make clean, ethical shots with your thermal-equipped rifle. And don't worry if you're new to this kind of hunting - our guides will walk you through every step, from identifying your target to proper shot placement.

Target Game Breakdown

Wild Hogs: These aren't your barnyard piggies - we're talking about tough, intelligent, and potentially dangerous game. Texas hogs can weigh anywhere from 100 to 400 pounds, with sharp tusks and a bad attitude. They're invasive and destructive, which is why there's no bag limit and no season - it's open season all year round. Hogs are incredibly adaptable and can be found in just about any habitat, from swamps to hills. They're most active at night, which is why our thermal hunts are so effective. The meat from these animals, often called "wild bacon," is prized for its rich, nutty flavor.

Coyotes: While hogs are our primary target, coyotes offer an exciting secondary hunt. These wily predators are quick, smart, and always a challenge. They typically weigh between 20 to 50 pounds and are most active at dawn and dusk, but our night hunts often catch them on the prowl. Coyotes have keen senses, so stalking them requires skill and patience. Their pelts are prized by many hunters, and taking them helps manage local populations that can impact livestock and other wildlife.

Bobcats: These elusive felines are a treat to spot and an even bigger thrill to hunt. Weighing in at 15 to 35 pounds, bobcats are known for their distinctive spotted coat and stubby "bobbed" tail. They're incredibly stealthy and typically solitary, making them a challenging quarry. Bobcats are most active at night, which suits our hunting style perfectly. While not as common as hogs or coyotes, the chance to bag one of these beautiful predators adds an extra layer of excitement to the hunt.

Mountain Lions: Also known as cougars or pumas, mountain lions are the apex predators of the Texas wilderness. Encounters are rare, but the possibility adds a heart-pounding element to every hunt. These big cats can weigh anywhere from 80 to 200 pounds and are known for their power and stealth. While we don't specifically target mountain lions, the opportunity to harvest one (with proper licensing) would be the trophy of a lifetime. Their presence reminds us of the wild, untamed nature of the Texas backcountry we'll be exploring.
