Non-resident pig hunting license needed?

[T-roy66]

Yes

Well I'm glad we got that all cleared up...

So you can’t eat an animal that is considered depredating if you shoot it without a license?
So if a farmer has hogs eating his crop and he shoots one and eats it he would be cited?
I get that you need a license when sport hunting but if you are going to apply the idea that you have to let the animal lay as the qualifier seems really stupid and a waste of natural resources, kinda like wanton waste does it not?

Yes, unless they have landowner permission to kill depredating hogs.

Right.. pretty concerning the law isn’t cut and dry. The answer shouldn’t be this difficult one would think

Non residentl 5 day special hunting license $48

This along with Aph permit if on public lands in Texas as well.

[Dale Moser]

If non-residents HUNT wild pigs/hogs in Texas, is a license required?
TIA

Yes, you need a license....this should't be that hard to figure out, y'all.

[mikeyb_23]

Yes!!

Follow that rule and this place would get real quiet. Be hard to find a 4 point on this site.

Yes.

If you want to shoot them without a license on the basis of “depradation,” I would have some proof in my pocket that money is being lost to the pigs... Signed by the landowner.

Nothing about that in the annual, but it’s what I would do. Or cough up the small donation to TPWD for a license.
