Not many pigs here in WA yet but as far as the law, shoot on site, no license needed. Outside of deer or elk season, no firearm restrictions. Durring deer or elk rifle seasons your only alowed to carry above CF 22's in the woods if you have a deer or elk tag on you, if no tag then you can only have a CF 22
or smaller in the woods durring those two seasons, Thats only about 5 weeks out of the year.

You can even use silencers to hunt them in Texas. You can even shoot DEER with silencers now in Texas.

Is that law when deer hunting you must have an ink pen in your possession still on the books? I don't think that ever was in the books. However I have heard of people getting ticketed for it. What I have read is that you must fill out your tag in ink before you move the animal. I would argue that I could borrow or go get a pen before I moved the animal. Might work and should work. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I started posting on another thread and realized it would be hy-jacking that thread so whaddya say? Is you states hunting regs well thought out or not in regards to wild hog hunting???
Here in AArghkansas, the seemingly bipolar AFGC complains about the wild pig population and encourages shooting piggies even if to just leave them rot (Wanton waste with anything else, but clearly stated in the reg's here as ok) but only with "weapons and ammunition appropriate for the season". Stupidity. So I am gonna shoot hogs with #4 i think it is or smaller shot or a 22?
Lots more of those hogs would be buzzard bait if they supported/allowed ANY shooting of them, license not needed and hunting with what ever weapon you care to use.
They seem afraid of poaching of other species, bullsphit, that is gonna happen regardless where there are there are inbred, toothless azzhat poachers. Walking in the woods with anything beyond a 22 rimfire is seen as presumptive hunting out of hunting seasons. And still the hog's are proliferating at a rapid rate, especially with the really mild last winter here.
Hell, some folks getting some exercise woods walking and toting a lever 45-70, big azzed handgun, AR or what ever your choice of firearm would help the porcine problem a great deal.
Really has affected turkey populations and by that hunting seasons have been cancelled in the past cuz of the paucity of gobblers...
Let's hear about your states regs say...
Be safe
Patty Those reg's are for a WMA. On private land, bust 'em with whatever whenever. From AGFC WEB: Feral Hog Hunting Regulations Hunting and Shooting Feral HogsOn private land: Feral hogs may be killed or trapped year-round, day or night, by a landowner or anyone with the landowner�s permission. Hunters do not need a hunting license to kill feral hogs on private land, but anyone who has had his or her hunting license revoked may not hunt them. All general regulations for hunting safety should be observed. On Wildlife Management Areas: Hunters may kill feral hogs on WMAs during daylight hours during any open hunting season. They must use a weapon that is legal for that season. During special WMA permit hunts, only permit holders may be on the WMA. Feral hogs killed on WMAs can be taken for processing or left where they were shot. Hunters may not use dogs, bait or traps to hunt feral hogs on WMAs. Hunters may not hunt hogs at night on WMAs.

California - classified as a nuisance/pest, but managed as a game animal. Go ahead and explain THAT one... Money. I remmeber when hogs only required a license, but no tag. Then it was $3 for a book of 5 tags, then $5 for 3 tags, then one tag at a time starting a little over $6 I think. We're up to $20 now. No season, no limit, but $20 a pop. Crazy. They're gonna out number the criminals here soon. And that's hard to do!

Of course, in a 12 gauge x 3 inch you can get 41 pellets, which has a muzzle energy of over 2700 foot-pounds, some 400 foot-pounds more than a 45-70, but you got to get a whole lot closer.

Patty - It's been a few years since I hunted hogs in Arkansas, and mostly you are right about the regs for hunting them. But, IIRC, those regs apply to any public access areas. On private property, with owner permission, you can hunt wild hogs year round, using any weapon with no license needed. (I didn't go to the AFGC website to confirm, just what I recall.)
The deer season setup is a mess and extremely confusing, to we of feeble minds, and I pass on that season entirely. YMMV
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

It's illegal to hunt them in KS, but they may be killed on sight by a landowner or his agent. They did this to remove the incentive to release and care for them by people wanting to make money from having hunts for them.
It's working, too. There aren't many in Kansas.

MI feral swine population is estimated between 1000 and 3000. On public land they can be killed with either a valid hunting license OR a CPL. Persons with a CPL do not need a hunting license.
On private land a hunting license is not required to kill feral swine. The only requirement is permission to be on the property, or to be the landowner.
The MIDNR encourages killing them.
Our God reigns.
