Barring hogs ?

We're not the ones to blame for the boom and spread in hog numbers... hunting ranches are to blame for that. I know people that 10 to 15 years ago were selling and hauling trailer loads of hogs all over Texas and other states because the landowners wanted something else to hunt besides deer. That was mostly trap caught hogs... dog hunters had very little to do with the spread of the hog population. It's when the population exploded... so did the number of dog hunters.

And, it's not illegal to catch and turn a hog loose on the spot... that's already been confirmed by the TAHC. Transporting and turning them loose is illegal.
