Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Anyplace in USA for "culling"?

Seriously? They are wasted? That's the dumbest thing I've heard since obamas last speech.

Best opportunity to shoot a number of animals over a short period of time would be Alabama. You would need to be a member of a large lease that manages according to QDM rules. Many leases have large numbers of doe permits available late in the season because their members will only shoot bucks. Some areas allow hunters to shoot two does per day some only one per day. The meat is donated.

must be way far from here in n central Texas. it used to be
free back 20 years ago. i checked on a hf cull hunt last
week (they called it a "meat" deer hunt) and they were
asking $900.00 with a bunk. i don't see a day hunt being
much less than that.

That used to be pretty common, it was that they didn't want you shooting just for the meat, rather than actual depredation... yeah, its dumb. Dumb as outlawing silencers and so on, actually dumber than that...

Lot of hogs by Austin, he'll they come out of the woods behind my house. Pigs all over Texas.

Lots of hogs all over Texas, you hear people complain about them non-stop but no one is letting you go kill em on the cheap. I've had guys tell me of good deals to hunt em, like $350 a day. $700 for a weekend to try and exterminate a ranchers vermin ain't exactly a good deal.

The Carolinas would be worth a look: http://choanokeoutfitters.com/nc-hunting-season/

People aren't going to do anything for free, because it ain't free to do anything. Time and bait to get set up to hunt is worth a lot. I have heard people say that cheap people don't need to go hunting. Anyone else ever heard that. I used to take guys hunting, most of the cheap MF's never offered to help pay gas, food, beer, much less a little corn. Cull hunting sounds like someone wants to go for free. What do you all think??

I draw a distinction between cull hunting and control hunting. Cull hunting is taking animals out of an established population to improve herd quality. Control hunting is reducing a population of animals to protect a crop or other resource that doesn't include the animals themselves.

For hunts where you can shoot as much as you want, I'd look at control hunts for hogs on public land in northern California. It'll take research and time on the ground, but there are a lot of resources to help you if you're willing to do the legwork, and a lot of hogs that need to be shot.
