2019 Hagerman Seg. B

Looks like there are a ton of pigs in Harris right now. It would be a good place to get a pair pair for a ticket.

I think they killed that this year. Does only for golden ticket.

Can’t believe they did away with the hog golden ticket. No incentive to shoot hogs equals a larger population and more competition for the deer which will decrease the health of the herd. So stupid imo

When it was an in-house hunt, I think they could have the rules whichever they want, ie doe/pig "golden ticket." But since moving the draw to TPW, they are having to go by those guidelines.. and those guidelines would absolutely NEVER allow someone to have a free pass to hunt there.. say over the 3 segments, 20 hunters got a "golden ticket," that's 20 free hunters, 20x$3entry.. THATS 60 BUCKS!!! We all know they cant afford to lose that much..

What I was told is that it was too difficult to keep up with due to the very low number of hog tickets.

And someone correct me if I'm wrong (never have got a golden ticket), you still had to pay the next years entry fees, it was just an automatic draw.

In my opinion killing 2 hogs in a 3 day hunt is about the same level of difficulty as harvesting a doe

Correct. In 2015, they made you bring the hogs out so I didn't bother shooting any. Then a couple years later, they let you take a picture with your permit again like they had before. Without a golden ticket for hogs, it's not worth losing 2 arrows for and definitely not if you have to hike them all the way out.

And the hunt is still going to be managed by the Refuge after this year. TPWD is only facilitating the draw. And that doesn't start until 2020.

Found this guy while scouting yesterday. When I saw the buzzards, I thought I’d found one of the bucks that weren’t recovered from Seg A. Nope- just a stinky hog.

Forgive my ignorance.....but what is the "golden ticket"? I saw it referred to several times in Segment A.

An automatic draw for next year's hunt if you shoot a doe clean through the lungs/heart. You can't get one in back to back years though.

You are just guaranteed a spot, still have to pay fees and qualify with bow

Headed up in the morning to look at a few spots and make a decision on where to start

Thursday will be here quick

One lethal shot to a doe in the heart, lung or liver and you get a ticket into next year's drawing.

Edit... I am no quick draw Mcgraw apparently.

A buddy and I are also hunting B, will update as much as I can.
