Can you hog hunt at night with a bow on aquilla, during the offseason?  Or is it dawn to dusk only?  Can you hang a cheap feeder, or hand cast only?

Howdy!  Check with the Corp of Engineers that oversees Aquilla.  Hope this helps!

Always, Gene

You can hand cast corn or feed pellets only. My understanding from the COE's is that hunting is day use only.

It stated in the book 2007 daylight hours only and no overnight camping. That may have changed but I seriously doubt it.

As of today, 18 Sep 09 daylight hours only and no camping on COE land. You can make reservation online to camp at Lake Whitney, isn't that far from Aquilla, you can take Hwy 22 back towards Hillsboro, when you get around Peoria look for CR1947 turn right and follow it and you'll be in the Aquilla Lake area in no time.

Well, I've hunted Aquilla whole lot over the last 10 years or so and I gotta tell ya, while there are definately hogs out there (and lots of them), they're pretty hard to find and almost completely nocturnal.  In fact, while the areas around my stands has usually had lots of hog sign, I've only seen a pig while hunting on one occassion and it was hauling tail like it was being chased by a cougar.

I think the biggest problem is that pigs like water, and, being that the land surrounds a lake, there's plenty of it.  So they don't have to bunch up around a water source.  If you get farther away from the lake, you'll see a lot of sign around the creeks, but the farther from the main lake you get, the less buffer you have between the water source and someone's house  (and all these people have dogs running loose). 

But, for the sake of arguement, if I were going out there to look for pigs, I'd probably start somewhere up on the Hackberry end.  This area tends to be harder to access and more remote.  That's also where I saw the one I did.
