Texas to approve poisoning of feral Hogs?

[Death from Above]

Its about time...glad to see it finally take effect. KAP

I find it interesting that Warfarin (Coumadin) is used as a blood thinner in humans .

The hogs don't belong here. They are a bad thing economically and environmentally.
Whether people enjoy hunting them or not is quite frankly irrelevant.
This issue is bigger than hunting.
The introduction and / protection of non-native invasive species for recreation or aesthetics has caused irreparable harm, but this is at least a step in the right direction

I guess if we use your thoughts ,we need to kill all the other exotics such as axis etc. They supposedly push native whitetails out & compete with other native game. Don't know what the other landowners would think of being told they need to kill all their game they have on their places because it is non native. The slope could get real slippery if we start thinking like that. I have no problem if you don't want pigs on your place & want them dead & or gone,but when they end up on my place sick & dying I have a problem with that.

sorry. let me clarify. 99.9% of us do not like pigs. you are the 0.01%. tell me a little more about your land you own and hunt pigs on.

You going to let people hunt free of charge are poison them? Just curious.

How exactly are they going to keep deer and other animals from eating it and dying?

See..side effects are beneficial to humans on an aspirin regimen.

you can not hunt pigs off your property. can not do it. can not kill enough. so poison is a much more intriguing option. why do I feel like you are pointing this directly at me? I have pigs. lots of them. they have ruined the a ton of property. you can not walk under the oaks or pecans without tripping. feels like someone came in with a tractor and plowed every inch.

Kind of the point. We hope to kill off all the pigs so they won't come in and till up all the land. Then we get on our tractors and till up all the land. Lol

Yep..let the people that want to control the hogs property, use it. If u don't want to use it on your property, don't use it and feed them plenty to keep them on your place.

The slope got really slippery when people started stocking exotic wildlife. They're horrible for the environment, there's just no way around that.

I have a problem if you kick out pigs on your place and they get on me. Introducing ANY nonnative game could be damaging to your neighbors.

tiling up around 100+ year old trees is not good. they expose the roots and can kill the trees. major difference

Don't forget the pheasants...gotta go.

You've never tilled up a hay field to see what kind of forbs would grow in it or an entire pasture to grow lush green Johnson grass?
