Hello Fellow Pig-Stickers!: What a hog slamin' weekend this was. Lance Easley,Alex Aranda, Ector Lujan,and "camp-cook/pig skinner" Carlos Lujan had a ball and took home the bacon! Alex's 135# mud-packed boar and running head shot was exactly matched byLance's 135# "high-hackle" black boar. Ector's 55#boar required the most "effort" and tested both our endurance as we repeatedly had the hog "jump bullet" (really it was a combination of poor aim and defective equipment....not to mention it is hard to hit anything when you are breathing justifiably like a 50 year -old smoker(actually I am 48). I don't think Ector or I ever worked so hard for one hog! Multiple stalk attempts for this wounded hog resulted in almost 1/2 mile "jog". These guys gave each other a hard time all weekend with verbal"slams" while practicing good sportsmanship by helping each other with their game before the next one scored. Hope you guys can make it back soon!!!!!!!

Hello Fall Hoggers!,....the last 60 days have been awesome with every hunter gettin' their hog. In fact, we have had eight hunters since the second weekend in September and have harvested 12 hogs. Sorry for those of ya'll included in these eight, but I have been so busy with my plumbing business and adding a new room to my house to satisfy my new bride, "Lisa", I haven't had time to name all of yall in my blog. Nate Ikel of Odessa had the largest hog at 190# for a nearly pure Russian...pics posted soon.................and guess what?,......I recently added 12 Russian crosses that weighed a total of 1740#'s for an average weight of 145#. Four of these hogs will go between 170 and 200#'s! Carlos Lazarin and his hunting partner bowhunters from Odessa will be the first to get in on these for action packed day and night hunting! ................The time is right,......the numbers are great,.........the weather is cool,.............perfect conditions for booking a successful hunt at Wilson Hilltop Ranch!........see ya soon!

Wow!...what a hog-hammering weekend! Friday1st Marcus Doporto returned with another friend, Carlos Flores. After about an hour of walking around the opportunity finally presented itself. I watched through my spotting scope as they put a stalk on cluster of about a dozen hogs. Carlos was in position first and before Marcus could get his gun off his shoulder, the hogs bolted........didn't matter as in a dead run Carlos threw down with his Colt .223 and quickly placed the crumpling/cart-wheeling shot on a nice black porker. Later that evening, while Carlos and his Dad quartered his hog, Marcus was in the #1 east stand and a group came in.They didn't stay long and Marcus took "one for the pit". Come back and get a big one soon, Marcus! I appreciate your bringin' folks and your sportmanship attitude of letting your guest get first chance!
Saturday2th afternoon Ron Lilley and friend, Johnny Lasoya arrived and headed to the west end. After kicking up a sow, a few steps further a nice 140#'r busted and ran. Not fast enough for Johnny as he delivered a deadly .243 round and dropped his hog clean.After getting this one put up, Ron had the opportunity to drop a nice sow and finished the evening in a nice rain always welcome at Wilson Hilltop Ranch! Ron and Johnny both understand the value of this nuisance as it balances the needs of the hogs and keeps them healthy! Congratulations Ron and Johnny!

Welcome Fellow Hoggers! Marc Doporto and his nephew made a late arrival evening hunt Saturday 27th. I drove Steven to the west #5 blind and put Marc in the #2 blind.Steven called me about 11:30 and had a nice hog on the ground. It began to lightly rain so we called Marc and he asked us to pick him up. After cleaning their hog Marc decided to reschedule during the week because he had company at the house. He said the hogs came in from behind him and he heard their grunts. Good luck this week Marc!

Hello Fellow Hoggers,.......new season is off and running as Cecil Wood and Ron Mobley came to hunt Saturday August 12. Ron went on a stalk on the east end with his bow and evidently the hogs were just in front of him. He pushed them toward the caprock where Cecil had already headed. Cecil took 2 hogs as I had told him it was cool to take an extra this trip due to numbers.He came back on foot to get the truck and Ron and they arrived in time to see a pack of what I believe was "Kit Foxes" making dinner out of one hog. They grabbed the other and started draggin' it toward the truck and the fox were loping in guarded pursuit as if to say "where u goin with that?"..........you never know what to expect at Wilson Hilltop Ranch except success!.....Congratulations Cecil......I have a feeling Ron could have had a hog but being the seasoned sportsman he is, finds the outdoor experience his "Trophy"!....drive one home next time, Ron!
