Quoted: You don't need a license to shoot hogs on private property. Didn't we just have this conversation in another thread? Unless you are hunting these hogs because they are destroying your land/property/ or harming your animals, you have to have a general hunting license to hunt non-game animals. A $45 hunting license is a lot cheaper than a ticket from the Game Warden. Here is the licensing issue on hogs.... EXOTIC ANIMALS AND FOWL Exotic animal refers to grass-eating or plant-eating, single-hoofed or cloven-hoofed mammals that are not indigenous or native to Texas and are known as ungulates, including animals from the deer and antelope families that landowners have introduced into this state. Includes, but is not limited to feral hog, Aoudad sheep, Axis deer, Elk, Sika deer, Fallow deer, Blackbuck antelope, Nilgai antelope, and Russian boar. Exotic fowl refers to any avian species that is not indigenous to this state, including ratites (emu, ostrich, rhea, cassowary, etc.). There are no state bag or possession limits or closed seasons on exotic animals or fowl on private property. It is against the law to: * Hunt an exotic without a valid hunting license. * Hunt an exotic on a public road or right-of-way. * Hunt an exotic without the landowner's permission. * Possess an exotic or the carcass of an exotic without the owner's consent. If you violate fish and wildlife laws, in addition to civil restitution you may: * be fined (Class C - $25-$500; Class B - $200-$2000; Class A - $500-$4000; State Jail Felony, $1500-$10,000); * be jailed (Class B and higher offenses); * face automatic suspension or revocation of licenses for up to 5 years; * forfeit hunting gear, including firearms, used to commit a violation. |

Hogs tear up property, thats what they do best, DEPREDATION. No license needed.
The simple fact that a land owner is tired of getting his pastures rooted up is reason enough. No license needed, END OF THREAD. Copied from State regulations site. A hunting license is required of any person, regardless of age, who hunts any animal, bird, frog or turtle in this state (except furbearers, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license). No license is required for nuisance fur-bearing animals, depredating hogs or coyotes (see below). Non-residents under 17 years of age may purchase and hunt with the Youth Hunting License (Type 169). Exceptions: a hunting license is not required to hunt the following: Coyotes, if the coyotes are attacking, about to attack, or have recently attacked livestock, domestic animals, or fowl. Depredating feral hogs, if a landowner (resident or non-resident) or landowner's agent or lessee is taking feral hogs causing depredation on the landowner's land. Fur-bearing animals, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license or if the fur-bearing animals are causing depredation. Link to page |
