I dont think it has a chance it was explained very clearly why we cant hunt wmas or federal ground by federal game warden that snuck up on me with a pen full of live hogs while I on federal ground I don't even think about it ain't worth it

         What was it that he explained to you

I am glad to see this being talked about

sounds a little rough down there yall just run them hogs on up hear north of 2666 and ill take carre of them

btt

Out of 2400 it is looking sad on the pettition

We as hunters are going to be the down fall. The reason you cant have a blood dog in East Texas is because of the deer doggers. Hunters need to shape up.

I am as shaped as I am going to get

IT WAS DON JUST LIKE THE DOG SEASON FOR HOGS IN THE SHNF FIRST IT WAS FROM JAN 15 TO MARCH 15 AND THEN THEY CUT IT TO FEB 1 TO MARCH 15   ON THE DEER THEY CUT IT TO AFTER THANKSGIVIN AND THEN TO THE LAST 2 WEEKS OF SEASON

well i have never hunted a nf never needed to to catch hogs  seems to me the guys that have property around it will have hogs they should want the hogs removed go talk to them  .the nf is not the only place to catch hogs they are every where  maybe just not as many in such a small area but that why its called hunting  go find some hogs

I agree but you are missing the point. Its simply our rights as hog doggers. Isn’t it fair that dog hunters get a piece of the pie also? You let them chip away at our way hunting and soon it will be gone.

It is our right to hunt it we pay taxes and has long as we pat our dues and dogging is legal in texas we should have aright to hunt it!!
Hell I like to take a colt up there and ride why not take a couple of dogs with me and huntalittle while I am there!!But don't have that right anymore!!

I was told by tpwl that hunting was a privilege NOT A RIGHT

I heard this was a decision made by the federal game warden.. Alot of it was because people weren't filling out their proper amount of harvested hogs. As a result the federali's came in and decided to give certain people trapping rights and traditional hunters a chance at controlling the numbers. No worries guys, we've talked to few trappers and their numbers are extremely light.. If the ban does happen to last a little longer consider it a sanctuary for the hogs and bigger/badder big boys running around.. We have tons of places in and around the shnf, and certainly can't wait for the ban to be lifted

I doint no about that they could let them hunt them to . Are season only went from January 15 to March 15 & the last 2 years were February 1 to March 15 And it was all legal means

Thats BS propley 95% of the land owners let people hunt hogs with dogs

Nothing has changed 2010/2011 season on SHNF WMA NO DOGS. All the wrighting letters & phone calls did not do anything

It will be paper company land next to
