Title: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Rimfire on March 10, 2013, 12:46:10 pm Please call or email your state representative David Fielding 870-234-6143 Bruce Maloch - bruce.maloch@senate.ar.gov. This bill will be voted on Wed 3/13/13
House Bill Number HB 1478 This will prevent the capture, ownership, transport of a Feral Hog. This will mean no Bay Pens, Bow Pens etc..... in the state of Arkansas. This wil also help set a standard for other states to follow.

Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Shotgun wg on March 10, 2013, 04:05:38 pm Basicly a 40 ac pen full of Barr hogs. It may be bigger but that's the gist. High fence hog hunting.

Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: halfbreed on April 12, 2013, 11:28:05 am I haven't heard , I read the bill and it is basically the same bill we have here in texas that everybody ignores .
Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Shotgun wg on April 12, 2013, 12:07:16 pm Bill passed saying we can no longer transport live hogs. It is HB1478 that passed. It is currently sitting on the governors desk. The only issues I see with it is the only high fence hog hunting places that can operate are the ones that are already in operation. It will also be illeagal to transport a live hog to ur home to use in a bay pen. The bay pen issue isn't that major for me. The way I read it tho is if u catch a pig say in a trap u can have it tested then once quarantine and testing is over it is now a domestic and can be hauled.

Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Shotgun wg on April 12, 2013, 07:32:36 pm If u are caught with a live pig on a 4 wheeler, trailer, truck, or anything even if ur still in the woods where u caught it. The fine is $1000.00 and a felony. A tested pig that has tested clean will get a ear tag that u have to break to remove it. The tricky part on the first pig is in order to quarantine it u must have a second fence outside the first at 4ft away. Without the double fence they won't give it a clean bill of health and a tag.

Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Shotgun wg on April 12, 2013, 08:58:07 pm Take the vet to the trap. Other than that I ain't figured it out yet. I do have hogs come behind my house. If I trapped them here it would be easy to put up second fence and have the vet come to take blood sample.
Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: moffittcatahoulas on April 12, 2013, 09:20:02 pm they have to be in quarantine for 60 days before you can get them tested
Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: Shotgun wg on April 12, 2013, 09:38:00 pm Sounds like I need my trap on the pond so I don't have to haul water.

I hadnt thought about that! Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: BIG CHRIS on April 14, 2013, 08:49:21 pm So what does this mean for beltex and all the other buyers
Title: Re: New bill they are trying to pass in Arkansas on Feral Hogs Post by: moffittcatahoulas on April 15, 2013, 12:12:04 pm should mean they wont be getting any hogs from arkansas
