Does any one know facts on this? Sam Houston National Forrest, WMA

cward, I think I live fairly close to you and want to be involved also. I use to hunt the forest.
The argument they are using is related to the status of the majority of the SHNF. I think it is classed as a WMA. It all kind of confuses me. A Federal forest lawman told me this. He said you can run hog dogs on the other NF's and the caddo national grass lands but not on WMA. Yet the White Oak unit still has it this year.
And what is the difference in a "wilderness area" and a "Wildlife management area"?
Another question, and one that really worries me, is why can you hunt fur bearing animals with dogs in the Sam Houston National forest, but not hogs? All of the fur bearers are indigenous. Hogs are not and are over populating through out the state. From what I understand most biologists hate them. With these factors in mind, I worry that wild life management is not the reason for this decision. So what is? One of the steps to ban it all altogether? The motive being more along the linesof the animal rights garbage? I don't know?
I also don't understand how THE NATIONAL FOREST, held, and managed with our federal tax dollars, can also be micromanaged by the state, as TEXAS PUBLIC HUNTING LAND? Just more of our freedoms being taken away from us. I am sure many folks here that grew up close to any of the national forests here in Texas can remember always being able to hunt on it. With the game laws if the state applying.
"Ya, you can hunt that. Its government land" What now it well ya, its government land, but you have to pay the state some more money, and they have a bazzillion rules in addition to the state game laws. The National Forest? How un-american!
Sorry for the rant, but I think we need to speak up. In an organized, studied and intelligent way.
