In this case “stalking” is used in the European sense of the word. The Blind Pig Club paid another visit to Three Curl Outfitters a couple of weeks ago. We booked their North TexasThermal Hog Hunt, and were booked for the “old lodge” located at 209 Cox Road Waxahachie, TX 75167.

Earlier in the year, # Curl had sent me an email announcing the grand opening of their “New Lodge” called Wild Acres located at 4160 SW HWY 34 Avalon, Tx 76623. By happy circumstance, I received a call from the ramrod of the outfit named Brett, who offered to upgrade us from the Old Lodge to the New Lodge because a larger group of hunters was coming in a day early. We could not say “Sure!” fast enough. Oh buddy! What a place!

Wild Acres sleeps about 20, and I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

In addition to the above ammenities, there is a 300 yard rifle range, and a huge patio with grills and a firepit. Oh yeah!

We licky threesome got had the place to ourselves, but the reason we went was to hunt feral hogs, and our guide Steven put us right on them. We made three stalks between 6:30 PM and 11:55 PM. We took two small sows about 30lbs each, A middlin’ sow around 50lbs, and big sow around 75lbs, and a boar we think was over 300lbs. It took all four of us to get him in the truck!

My only, and I do mean ONLY grip about the trip was the lack of a proper cleaning station at Wild Acres. We had to butcher the take on the ground which can be rough on the older spines in the group (aka Me). All told, we took almost 100# of fine fresh pork home with us.

Everything else was fantastic, and the service was top shelf. If you want a grand adventure close to DFW, call Three Curl Outfitters. Feral Hogs, wingshooting, and waterfowling are all on the menu, and you can’t beat the price. If you have the stones and the pockets, you can even hunt from a helicopter!
