[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1744373, member: 6291"] Exactly. Commercial hunting for sure. Poorly managed recreational hunting, also. Texas was very laxed on the laws originally as were other states. They should have stopped the transportation of hogs immediately. We have rules on our properties that every hog is shot on sight. We trap out the smaller pigs and groups, rifle hunt the trap smart pigs, and dog what is left. It does curtail the hog activity on those properties. I know quite a few people who are writing the same in their hunting leases and have threated to boot leasees who didn't follow it. If we, or the farmers in the area did nothing, they would pretty much put us out of business. Our two biggest problems are, one, vacant properties. Just one property can supply thousands of acres with hogs. The next problem is not blowing the feral hog market wide open for meat. When we had people who bought hogs for slaughter there were tons of hogs trapped and sold. It is a good source of revenue for people and a good source of affordable protein. [/QUOTE]
