Texas Hog Hunting Like Nowhere Else on Earth

Since 1999, our family has guided the most action-packed wild pig hunts in East Texas with a style that’s more battlefield than backwoods. No blinds. No waiting. No 3-day minimums. Just mud, motors, and firepower, two hours from both Dallas and Houston.

Anyone and everyone is welcome with no age limits or licenses required. Each shooter is guaranteed to take down 3 hogs during this action-packed, 1-day hunt. Bring your own gear, or go big with our armory of heavy hitters. Book your hunt now and experience the most realistic Texas hog hunting adventure you’ll ever have.

The 4J Difference

Why 4J Is Unlike Any Hunt in Texas

We chase. You shoot. Every other ranch parks you in a blind for days hoping one hog walks by. At 4J, you’re moving through the woods in ATVs, UTVs, and Side-by-Sides, getting shot opportunities all day long. It’s the only hunt of its kind in Texas.

The armory is open. M16, tripod-mounted M16, AK-47, MP5, the Desert Eagle .50, and in a class by itself, the semi-auto Barrett 82A1 in .50 BMG. Rent full-auto machine guns for your hunt or our private range and have an experience that usually costs 5–10x more from a helicopter. Explore the armory →

One day is all you need. Drive in at sunrise, drive home with a cooler full of wild pork. No hotels, no vacation days burned, no minimum-stay fine print.

3 hogs guaranteed. Not “opportunities.” Not “up to.” Three hogs per shooter, guaranteed. 4J Ranch has the strongest guarantee of any ranch in Texas. Extras are just $100.

CHOOSE YOUR HUNT

Book Two Weeks Out. Not Two Months

Most Texas hog hunts want you committing months ahead to a multi-day package. Not here. We hunt by appointment, seven days a week, and all we need is two weeks’ notice. Decide on a Tuesday, hunt two Saturdays later, and be home the same night with a cooler full of pork. See open dates →

No License. No Experience. No Age Limit.

Texas doesn’t require a hunting license for feral hogs on private land and that goes for out-of-state and international visitors too. First-time shooters get full safety instruction and one-on-one guide attention. Families welcome.

Texas Has a Hog Problem. You’re the Solution.

More than 2.6 million feral hogs cause tens of millions of dollars in damage to Texas farms and habitat every year. Every hog you take at 4J is real population control on working land. This is conservation that happens to be the most fun you’ll have all year.

Troy and Todd were awesome! First time hunters and they made us feel so comfortable. Pre hunt instructions were very clear and made us feel super safe. A few practice shots and then off to the hunt. Highly recommend to anyone! We’re hoping to come back again!

Had an absolutely fantastic time hunting with 4J Hog Hunting. Our group of three ended up taking 14 hogs, and the entire experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.

The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on hogs all day. The operation was well organized, safety was clearly a priority, and they made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. Whether you’re an experienced hunter or it’s your first hog hunt, they do an excellent job creating a fun and successful experience.

We saw plenty of action, learned a lot, and made some great memories. If you’re looking for a Texas hog hunt, I highly recommend 4J Hog Hunting. We’ll definitely be back! 🐗🐗🐗

4J Ranch incorporates the cultural foundations Texas was built on from a family-owned business I recommend everyone goes to for the ultimate experience. The hospitality, the guidance, and most importantly the highest priority for safety is what everyone should look for when they go hog hunting. 4J Ranch provides all of these whether you are a novice, an intermediate, or expert hunter. When you go to 4J Ranch, you're not just a customer, you're treated like a guest at their home. Side note - ask about the fun stuff. There's plenty of it.

Troy, Todd, Brad and Sammy were awesome. Good people and great hospitality.

It was cold but we shot all kinds of guns which my boys had a blast doing so.

At the same time Troy cooked us up some of the pig we killed, my boys and I were surprised how it tasted so good!

Overall I definitely would go back. Thanks guys!

Perfectly Placed Between Houston & Dallas

4J Ranch sits in Centerville, a town literally named for being the halfway point between Houston and Dallas, close to the Trinity River. Both cities are about 2 hours away, College Station is about 1 hour, and Fort Hood is 2.5. That central location makes us the easy day-trip choice for hunters driving in from DFW, Houston, or anywhere in between, and the natural meeting point for corporate groups, bachelor parties, and out-of-town crews. Our East Texas ground holds one of the densest wild hog populations in the state, which is exactly why we can guarantee your hogs.
