Ready to go after some wild hogs in Oklahoma? You're in for a real treat. Our hog hunts are the real deal - no game farms here, just pure wild pork action. We've got access to some of the best hunting grounds in the state, and our guides know these hogs like the back of their hand. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or it's your first time chasing pigs, we'll make sure you have a blast and hopefully bring home the bacon (literally).
Here's what you can expect on our Oklahoma hog hunts: We offer a variety of hunting styles to suit your preferences and the conditions. You might find yourself spot-and-stalking through dense brush, quietly waiting in a stand for hogs to come to you, or using thermal optics for some heart-pounding night hunting action. The beauty of hog hunting is there's no season - these critters are fair game year-round. That means you can scratch that hunting itch even when other game is off-limits. Our success rates are high, but remember, this is real hunting. Sometimes the hogs win, but that's all part of the challenge and excitement.
We keep our groups small, usually just you and the guide, to maximize your chances and keep things personal. Bring your own gear if you want, or we can set you up with everything you need. After the hunt, we'll even help you field dress your hog if you want to take some wild pork home. Just remember, deposits are non-refundable, so make sure you're good to go before you book.
Let's talk tactics. Hog hunting in Oklahoma is a whole different ballgame from your typical deer or turkey hunt. These pigs are smart, tough, and always on the move. For spot-and-stalk hunts, we'll be covering some serious ground, often in thick cover. You'll need to be quiet, patient, and ready to move fast when we spot a sounder (that's pig-speak for a group of hogs).
If we're doing a stand hunt, get ready for some serious sitting time. We'll put you in a prime spot where hogs are known to feed or travel, and then it's a waiting game. Bring your A-game when it comes to scent control - these pigs have noses that put bloodhounds to shame.
Night hunting with thermal scopes is where things get really interesting. It's like playing a video game, but in real life. We'll cruise quietly in a vehicle or on foot, scanning for the heat signatures of hogs. When we spot them, it's go time. This method lets us cover a lot of ground and often results in multiple hogs taken in a single night.
No matter which method we use, safety is always our top priority. We'll go over all the dos and don'ts before we head out, making sure everyone's on the same page and ready for a safe, successful hunt.
Let's talk about our quarry: the wild hog. These aren't your farm-raised piggies - we're dealing with feral hogs that are as tough as they come. In Oklahoma, you'll typically encounter two main types: Russian boars and mixed-breed feral hogs.
Russian boars are the real deal - descendants of Eurasian wild boars brought over for hunting. They're usually darker in color, with a distinctive ridge of hair down their back that stands up when they're agitated (which is often). These hogs can get big, with some boars topping 300 pounds. They're known for their aggressive nature and those wicked tusks that can do some serious damage.
The mixed-breed feral hogs are a mix of escaped domestic pigs and wild boars. They come in all colors and sizes, from jet black to spotted, and anywhere from 100 to 400 pounds. These are the most common type you'll encounter, and they're no less challenging to hunt.
Hogs are incredibly adaptable and smart. They learn quickly and can change their patterns if they feel pressured. That's why having a guide who knows their habits is crucial. They're most active at night and in the early morning or late evening, which is when we'll focus our hunts.
One of the coolest things about hog hunting is the challenge it presents. These animals have keen senses of smell and hearing, and they're always on alert. Getting within range without being detected is a real test of your hunting skills. And when you do get a shot, you need to place it well - hogs are tough and can absorb a lot of punishment.
Hunting hogs isn't just fun - it's also good for the environment. These non-native species cause millions of dollars in damage to crops and native ecosystems each year. By hunting them, you're helping to control their population and protect Oklahoma's natural resources. It's a win-win: you get an exciting hunt, and the land gets a break from these destructive critters.
Hog hunting in Oklahoma isn't just a one-and-done deal - it's something our clients come back for again and again. Here's why: First off, it's challenging. These aren't easy animals to hunt, and successfully taking one gives you a real sense of accomplishment. Second, it's exciting. Whether you're stalking through the brush or waiting for that perfect shot from a stand, your heart will be pounding.
Then there's the fact that you can hunt year-round. No need to wait for a short season - hogs are always in season, always a challenge. It's a great way to keep your hunting skills sharp between other game seasons. Plus, let's not forget about the meat. Wild hog, when prepared right, is delicious. It's leaner than store-bought pork and has a unique, rich flavor that's hard to beat.
Our hunters also love the variety we offer. Want to try spot-and-stalk one day and thermal hunting the next? No problem. We can mix it up to give you a full range of hunting experiences. And because hogs are so prolific, there's always a good chance of success, even if you're new to hunting.

Wild hogs in Oklahoma are no joke. These tough critters can weigh up to 400 pounds, with most adults around 150-200. They're smart, adaptable, and breed like crazy. You'll find 'em rooting up fields, bedding in thick brush, or wallowing in muddy creek bottoms. Hogs are fair game year-round, but fall and winter hunts are popular when vegetation thins out. Spring's good too, before it gets too hot. These aren't your average barnyard pigs – they're wary and have keen senses. The challenge of outsmarting them is a big draw for hunters. Whether you're after a big boar or just want to help control the population, hog hunting's always an adventure. They can be aggressive if cornered, so stay alert. For best results, set up near food sources or travel corridors at dawn and dusk. And here's a local tip: if you spot rooting signs, hang back and watch the area. Hogs often return to good feeding spots.
