Do we really have enough,

If the state would put a $10 bounty on them then folks would get after it!!!

The state would go broke! lol

You will never control the hog population by hunting.Hogs breed to fast.Easily 20 to 1 when compared to buffalo.

I get after it anyway, but sure would take the money for the ones I throw on the bone pile.

its my contention they are top of the food chain in texas...
so unless they start introducing tigers in the wild. its time to start loading our bows, crossbows, shotguns, rifles, pistols, knifes, dogs, etc... O! Wait we already are.

I don't think I wanna see a tiger roaming the woods!

Oh it's possible just not probable. First of all there are too many spots where people own land and do not condone hunting. There are alot bigger obstacles in the way now than there were at the time that the buffalo were wiped out. Personally, I'm glad that there are. The difference of course is the buffalo were a native species and these hogs are not.

toss in those that want an arm and a leg to let you even near their place to hunt anything, even the nusainces that the pigs are...

I have started buying the Sta-Tite 735 wire along with 4 barb predator barb wire to start fenceing around my place. It's going to cost at $175.00 per roll for 330 ft for the sta tite. but maybe my grandsons will have something here left with no hogs ......Andy

you will never get rid of them, all u can do is try to control them!!! they will only get worse

We need to find a way to make the proverbial silk purse out of the sow's ear. Create some demand for their hides (ugh!), snouts or whatever. Kinda like the buffalo robes. If there was a way to truly donate hog meat to the homeless, we'd feed the nation.

See...in one way I would love to live in an area that had hogs...it beats the are I live in with the drug dealers and hookers.

As far as for the city / HOA saying that I can't shoot them...fine, you wont see me shoot them...because it will be at 11 or so at night...just saying. And if I get fined, then I will turn around and send them the bill it takes for me to plant more grass, bushes...etc.

youd still have to get access to the land to depredate them. killin em is the easy part

I saw a dead hog on the side of Barker Cypress near 529 this morning (Copperfield/Cypress, TX area). Never seen that in the 20 years I've lived here.

I don't care how much it would help, I don't want any of the yeahoos around my house hunting pigs in the subdivision. I understand that it is just to help out the infestation but the argument that some are making that we should be able to hunt them in the city means that anyone will be able to hunt them. I would rather have to re-do my landscape two times a year than have stray rounds hit the house.

The problem is...all it takes is for some idiot to start throwing lead and we all get lumped in with him. I live in North Mo. and all the neighbors let me hunt, no problem...Now a few "road hunters" came around and shot up signs, buildings, and hit a few cows...and everything is closed to hunting. My neighbor said, "I cant let you hunt...YOU HUNTERS shoot at everything"...sure hate being lumped up with that trash, but that is the way it happens....Shoe

Like here at my place my family has 200 ac . 81 ac is mine there are subdivision now surrounding two sides of our place.I don't know what my two sisters plan to do with their two 55 and 60 ac trac of land but I am going to hog proof fence mine. I walked through this pasture and see no new little trees comming up from seed due to hogs rootting up acorns ........I will sit back and laugh at these people who have these feeders in their back yards but start crying when yards get tore up........Andy
