Need a License to.....

[flywise]

This is a topic under discussion with the TPWD right now. Trying to pass lsaw to hunt non-game animals without a license.

You have to have a license to hunt anything in Texas right now. Varmints, pigs, exotics, or native game.

TPWD is already hurting for money why would they pass a regulation allowing any kind of hunting with out the purchase of a license?

So let me get this straight. We are drinking and driving yet arguing over wether one needs a hunting lic ense to hunt hogs and coyotes? My answer would be duh...

[Mattya1ic]

I don't think you need a license to hunt pigs if your hunting on your own property. Other than that yep, you need a license to hunt anything.

Yep!

[hully1029]

why not go ahead and buy one either way? gonna have to buy one for season anyway..

<--- thinks you should be careful drinking and driving. all is takes is one brother, and you could loose everything.

I'm lazy and not going to look up chapter and verse, but yes, you need a hunting license to kill pigs. They were reclassified about three years ago from "feral" to "exotic". You need a hunting license to hunt exotics (including pigs) in Texas.

There is an exemption for pigs that are "depravating" but I don't want to have to try and win that arguement with a game warden. Buy a hunting license, follow the rules, and be done with it.

not looking up or reading the law for themselves is what gets most people in trouble......

No, if they are doing damage you don not need a license.

[Osceola]

I f they are damaging property you can kill hogs without a license and if they are breathing they are damaging something.

[JayKen86]

The way I see it is anyone who has any intrest in killing hogs is already gonna have a hunting license.

[Low Fence]

No, if they are doing damage you don not need a license.

IF you come across them and shoot them under the " damaging or about to damage" clause then yes.............but thats not hunting. If you have damaged property, and you set out a feeder and "hunt" them, then yes you must have a HL.


Also under the "No HL" KILLING of damage causing feral hogs, you must leave them where they lay, no processing

[Cam-Mac]

You're telling us that it got "heated" and "the beer was talking", and you want us to "input" about pigs with or without a license?

Edited so i dont get banned.

smh

Back on the subject.

No license needed if hunting on your property and you can prove deprivation. Should be easy.

You can shoot/kill in this situation, but IF you are "hunting" for any sport at all you must have HL.

If it looks like a dozer worked your land over, and you put out corn, and sit in a stand waiting for hogs.......that is hunting and a HL is required.

If you are driving/walking across land and hogs are spotted, you may kill and leave where they lay without a HL.....if damaging or about to damage (they all fall into that category)

so if a dumbarse is on a message board bragging about drinking and riding a hog, what are the odds of people going to band camp over calling said person a dumbarse?
