I was driving past Aransas this weekend and saw no less than 5 hogs dead on the side of the road, hit by cars at night. The place crawls with swine.

Attention don't freak out when you get your application papers. They some how sent out the information about the rifle hunts but the title says Archery hunt. I called and they have made a mistake. THe hunt dates are the dates posted earlier. The application is correct as far as applying for the hunt. Again I will post information as I get it. On a side note I think it could be REALLY HOT during the hunt.

Hey guys , Hows the mosquitoes? I remember the first time I went was back 1978 right after a tropical storm and they would get around you like fogg. The hogs were every where and I missed my trophy monster buck of a lifetime. Its was the best hunting trip I have ever been on, saw more huge bucks and hoggs in one place. I would like to revisit the honey holes again. I still have the map with all the points. Hogg city, monster buck square, I hope it hasn't change much.

Hunters You Can Earn Bonus Scouting Time:...How???
As a permitted hunter be enrolled and attend the ANWR hosted I.B.E.P. Class or have already completed and passed the I.B.E.P. course. Hunters will be allowed to enter the hunt area for scouting and stand placement on September 20th & 21st from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. To gain early access to the hunt area each hunter just has to show their I.B.E.P. Card, Aransas 2008 Archery Permit, and Government issued Photo I.D. to the Refuge Law Enforcement Officers.
ANWR will be hosting a two day I.B.E.P. class on September 20th from 7:30am-2:00pm & September 21st from 8:00am-2:00pm. THIS IS A TWO DAY CLASS AND STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND BOTH DAYS. To enroll and r.s.v.p. for one of the 24 spots in the class you must register by calling one of the course instructors, Chris 832-888-4798 or Danny 361-222-1152.
There is a $15.00 registration fee for the two day class and each hunter will have to bring their own lunch as only drinks and snacks are available at the visitors center. Dress comfortable for outdoor activities and current weather conditions, boots are recommended.
Enrolling and completing the I.B.E.P. Class at the Refuge is a great way to learn the ins-outs of hunting the Refuge. The I.B.E.P. course is accepted in all fifty states and fifteen foreign countries and never expires. This course will cover the fundamentals of bowhunter ethics and responsibilities, basic equipment knowledge and hunter safety. Along with hunting techniques, anatomy, shot placement, blood trailing, survival, and basic first aid.

Fightinaggies, Over 40 years! This is the longest running archery hunt in the state where you just have to sign up for the hunt. Its more difficult than just showing up to hunt like we used to do but none the less if you take the time to sign up you will be given a hunting permit.
Here's a link to a picture of the applicastion form, just print it as a picture. Maybe someone can make a better copy and move it over to this page.
