Wild hog hunting in Texas - 02/18/16 05:15 AM
Hello all, I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure where to ask this question. Anyways, here goes nothin'. I've never gone hunting, officially, in my life. My friend (who has been hunting for most of his) and I are looking to hunt some hogs here in North Texas. We'd hoped to find some public land to hunt on, but unfortunately there's not much that allows hunting here in Texas, and we're unsure of what licenses are necessary to hunt on the few areas available. Any recommendations to land areas would be much appreciated, as well as clarification as to what needs to be done in order to legally hunt on public land, other than attending the mandatory texas hunter safety course. Also, some clarification on whether hogs are game year round or not is much appreciated; from what I've read, they are. Please correct me on anything I've stated that's wrong. Wouldn't want to break the law now, would I? Heaven forbid a free American go shoot a pest animal out in the boonies.
P.S. I've noticed that some park areas allow hunting only with bows or muzzle loaders. We'd be hunting with centerfire rifles.
