Is there much hog hunting in eastern Tx? How hard is it to get set up to do hog hunting? It sounds like it might be fun. Are there places that accept donated hog meat?

I think there are a bunch of hogs in east Texas.... I work with a guy that lives in Greenville, and he shoots hogs pretty regularly on his land.
I'm not sure how you would find a place to hunt.... I think most land owners have found that folks will pay them to get to hunt hogs, so they charge for it now.
You might try Googling it.... the good thing is that they are considered a "varmint", and there is no set season on them. You can hunt them anytime, night, day... doesn't matter. You DO have to have a valid hunting license, though.
I don't know if there are any charities that will accept hog meat.. I think many people just shoot them and leave the carcass where it falls. The meat from smaller hogs is really tasty, though. Anything under 200 pounds ought to be pretty good eating. It's pretty lean meat, and to me, tastes a little sweeter than domestic pigs.
