Best Value Night Hog Hunts Near Dallas
Looking for affordable guided hog hunting that won't break the bank? You found it. At just $125 per hunter, our private land thermal hog hunts in Kaufman and Dallas County deliver the real Texas hunting experience you're after — without the $400-600+ price tags most outfitters slap on. We keep things simple: good hunting grounds, thermal optics, and plenty of hogs to put in your freezer. Whether you're bringing your son for his first hunt or need a solid weekend trip with your buddies, we've got the setup that works.
Inside the Hunt
These are private land hunts, which means better hog patterns and less pressure than public ground. You'll be set up in blinds positioned over active feeders where hogs come to eat. Each blind gets thermal optics so you can spot hogs moving in the dark, and we allow green lights for shot placement. The hunt runs year-round since feral hogs don't have a season — they're considered agricultural pests, so you're doing landowners a favor by thinning them out. We take 2-4 hunters per trip with one blind and feeder per pair, giving everyone plenty of action without crowding the setup. Bring your own rifle if you want, or hunt during daylight hours with your bow — we're flexible on how you want to work these hogs. Our guides handle tracking and recovery, plus we'll quarter your hogs with the hide on at no charge. Want them skinned and cleaned? That's $30 per hog, or you can handle it yourself and save the cash.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
Night thermal hunting changes the game completely. Hogs move more freely after dark, especially during hot Texas summers when they avoid daytime heat. The thermal optics we provide pick up body heat signatures, making it easy to spot hogs approaching feeders even in thick brush. Most shots happen within 100 yards of the blind, so you don't need long-range precision — just solid fundamentals and patience. The terrain in Kaufman and Dallas County mixes open fields with scattered timber, giving hogs multiple travel routes to water and food sources. Feeders get them patterned to specific locations, but you'll still need to stay quiet and minimize movement once they're in range. Wind direction matters less at night, but hogs still rely heavily on their noses, so we position blinds downwind of expected approach routes. Bring a cooler sized for the amount of meat you want to take home — a good-sized hog yields 40-60 pounds of processed meat, and you might get shots at multiple animals in one night.

Target Game Breakdown
Feral hogs are the main attraction, and Texas has them in serious numbers. These aren't your typical farm pigs — generations of wild living create lean, muscular animals that taste more like venison than pork. Mature boars can hit 200-300 pounds, while sows typically run 100-180 pounds, and both make excellent table fare when handled properly. Hogs are most active during cooler parts of the day, which makes night hunting so productive. They'll hit feeders consistently if the area stays quiet, often showing up in groups of 3-8 animals. Summer months see the most activity since hogs seek water and food during darkness to avoid heat stress. Fall and winter hunting stays productive as hogs bulk up for colder weather. What makes hog hunting addictive is the action — unlike deer that spook and disappear, hogs often stick around even after the first shot, giving you chances at multiple animals. The bonus species make things even better. Raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, and bobcats all move at night around these same feeders. Coyotes actually come with a $20 bounty, so you're getting paid to help with predator control. These predators impact ground-nesting birds and small game, so taking them benefits the overall ecosystem while adding variety to your hunt.
