It might also be beneficial for some to look up and read the publication put out by the Texas Animal Health Commission a couple years back regarding the movement of feral swine. I'll try to find it and post a link.

The way I understand, movement (as referred to by the commission) is that it begins from the point of capture. In other words when you take a hog out of a trap, that is deemed movement. It has nothing to do with going 30 miles down the road (although that would also be defined as movement). According to the publication, the only lawful movement is directly to slaughter, to a licensed holding facility, or a licensed hunting preserve. I can find no where that either affirms or denies that releasing a caught hog (even at the actual location of capture) is lawful.
