Silverton,
Would my little pen raised mule footed sow have to conform to those guidelines? She is 3/4 wild, 1/4 domestic. I'm pretty sure my Delta sow would pass as being just a domestic hog to someone who didn't know any different, but my little mulefoot Rosie is a dead ringer for a feral hog behind a pipe and panel hog proof fence. There is no mistaking what her lineage is, but she is 3rd generation pen raised. Any problem there?
Cheers
M
ps.. I had this posted to the 2 dead thread, but moved it here so that I wouldn't continue to get off topic and mooch his thread.

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

mandi, wow I really don't know the answer to that. I have read state code and TAHC regs and TP&W rules untill I am blue in the face. I believe that your hogs are domestic, and are not covered by the rules for feral swine. At least that would be my story.  Paul T |

Well that's my story anyway, but it is sure hard to cover up what little rosie is. Most non hog hunters think she is half wild hog and half javalina because of her javalina colored hair.
I was wondering about the new classification and the legality of me having her at my place.
As I understood, boars and barrs could be kept and not sows. Well I haven't had much luck taming down boars like my wild caught sow. I will stick to keeping my "domestic" sows.
Cheers

In my case, with Wilbur, I studied on being able to haul him to the Trail Blazers to show, legally.
I finally talked to the vet at our reginal TPWD (Amarillo) and was told the following.
He could be legally reclassified from feral to domestic and I could get the proper paperwork, in case I was stopped on the highway.
He said I would have to have him blood tested 3 times, at 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days.
After the 90 days and 3 clean tests, he would then be eligible for reclassification.
I changed my mind and saved a heapload of cash.
I did not pursue it any further as I had already spent a week on the telephone to get that far.
Figured it wasn't worth the hassle.
