Talked to GW about the hog issue while back. If your going to eat it... You need a hunting license. Depreadate.... No license required. However if your caught hunting hogs it's up to the gw discreation. Most counties... is 10 acres to shoot. Hit the nail on the head !!!

And I found the exception on their site. It is only for depredation. I know this is common, but I believe it will come down to GW discretion.
Exceptions: a hunting license is not required to hunt the following:
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.

Scoop - not with Hogs my friend - you can kill them YEAR ROUND with no license Before we get somebody in hot water, this needs to be clarified. Unless it has changed in the past year or so, you cannot go to a ranch and hog hunt without a liscense. The state still wants their cut. If you own the land, that was where the gray area always came up. I got this from discussions with a warden.... but that was a few years ago.... Will check the regs.

I will try to help ya..
If you put up a feeder and you kill them - your hunting them - you then need a license .
If your on your own property and you shoot them and walk away - you do not need a license or if the are tearing your hay filed up etc etc - you dont need a license..make sense ??

You can shoot hogs right where you find them and leave them lay -no license needed..Take them home with you and you need a license. Your story is shifting here.... The original poster is asking about HUNTING on his land, not just killing depredating hogs and dragging them off. Your original 24/7/365 statement with no liscense needed could mislead some in to thinking all they gotta do is tell the GW they are only hunting hogs, and they won't get written up. EEEEK. Wrong answer. "But Warden, E. Rollins said I didn't need a liscense. He even used exclamation points in his post!" Just bustin' your chops, but you got it wrong, and I knew that was a common misperception that can get you in a bind. Don't want to pass along bad info on the regs... Just get a liscense and don't worry about it.

Isn't anyone that would be on this forum and own their own property for hunting purposes (the point of this thread) going to have a license anyway????

You're so wrong and giving out incorrect information will only get those not knowing in trouble. Regardless, whenever you are hunting, trapping, catching feral hogs, everyone must have a valid hunting license. The ONLY individuals that do NOT require a hunting license is the landowner (resident or non-resident), their agent/manager or their lessee (individual leasing the land for livestock, hay, growing crops) IF the feral hogs are depredating on their land (killing livestock, damaging planted crops for economic purposes, pastures planted and cut for hay, destroying fences, etc.). Knocking over deer feeders, rooting up flood plots planted to attract deer or wildlife, or wallowing in mud holes or normal rooting is not forms of depredation.

This got off topic in a hurry. The 10/50 acre rule was passed by the Texas Legislature to prevent cities and/or counties from passing zoning laws preventing hunting on private property. If you own 10 or more acres, local governments cannot pass a law preventing you from hunting with a bow. If you own 50 or more acres, local governments cannot prevent you from hunting with a firearm.

Scoop - not with Hogs my friend - you can kill them YEAR ROUND with no license Not true, that will be a quick way to find yourself in front of a judge. A license is required, day or night 365, unless you can prove to the state beforehand that the hogs are distroying your property. I get people all the time that want to come out and hunt hogs without a license, a couple of them said they had a license but when the GW checked, they didn't. They both got a summons. My take on it is, if your shooting hogs without a license, it's easy to get caught up in accusations of hunting other game without a license. So your better off just going and spending a few bucks to get your license.

You can hunt Hogs witout a license - thats it. Here's just one of the quotes to that effect from page one of the thread... and I am not at all angry. Just a bit amused at your position, and not wanting others to be misled.... If I had been wrong, I would have just admitted to it and moved on. Now I will officially bow out of this one....
