Landowners or their agents are allowed to kill feral hogs on their property without a hunting license if feral hogs are causing damage. However, any landowner that plans to trap or snare hogs should have a valid Texas hunting license, since these activities could affect other wildlife species. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department TPWD outlines license requirements and specific legal hunting methods in its annual hunting and fishing regulations publication, the Outdoor Annual.
A hunting license permits the use of firearms, snaring and trapping Figures 2 and 3. Exotic species, including the feral hog, may be hunted throughout the year. Aerial gunning is allowed with a permit from the TPWD. There is no closed season and no bag limit. It is legal to use suppressors silencers on firearms to hunt feral hogs, but an Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Form 4 must be completed to purchase a suppressor. It is still a violation to hunt without a license if hunting without consent.
The new law removes any reference to depredation and the exemption applies for the take of all feral hogs. The new law only applies to private property, and is irrelevant of whether or not it is a paid hunt, although allowing hunting access in return for financial or other consideration still requires a hunting lease license from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
A hunting license is still required on public land. Log in. You may also like. Subscribe to the LIVE! The LIVE! Daily is the "newspaper to your email" for San Angelo.
