Yes, I frequently see hogs (or hog sign) where I live.
Years back my friend Marvin called for help. He'd shot a hog in the Brazos River bottom close to Rosharon. He was in a ground blind and took a shot with his rifle. That just pissed the big boar off, who barreled towards Marvin. He unloaded his rifle at him and the hog kept a comin'. He pulled his 45 and dropped him at his feet. Another friend had helped him get him out of the woods and into his truck. I used my chain hoist to lift him out. We had no way to weigh him, but just the hide with gristle plate weighed 180 lbs. Hogs that big are no good to eat.
Another friend used to go on guided hog hunts outside of Hondo. The guide was on horseback, the hunters on foot. On one hunt a big boar came out of nowhere, disemboweled and dropped that poor horse, and was gone.
