<DIV><FONT size=4>My understanding is everyone use to just let their hogs run
loose in this area. Then eventually the breeding got out of hand.
People used to come out here where they had turned a couple of hogs loose and
then bring home the bacon. So it is feral hogs running out there and over
here. After Ike there was a small one that had been hit by something and
was on the side of Airport Rd. </FONT></DIV>

with a bow. They are loud and unruly and will destroy the

<DIV class=Ih2E3d> Do you need a hunting license to pop them.
<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>In theory, no, since they are a
nuisance animal and it's private land. However, it wouldn't hurt. Think of it
as CYA. These are big hogs, though. Think .30 cal and up. Large pistol (as in
.45 or .357) at 25 yards will do. 12 ga. with slugs or 00 buck would work,
too. I haven't seen any signs of aggressive feral hogs in this part of the
world, but there's been talk of some west of here (Sealy, Brenham, etc.). I'm
going to play it safe and carry the .357 and have the 12 ga. handy while we're
out there.<BR><BR>If anyone does drop one, field strip it, bury the leavins,
and toss what you want in a cooler. I'm not big on wasting what you hunt...
though I'm not sure what to do with the rat I just caught in my driveway
(alive, even). Ugh. Gundy great white hunter. Hunt fierce suburban rat with
shield and club... ok, garbage can lid and steeck. Was better than the
alternative, which would have brought curious people in uniforms and resulted
in a large mess to clean up since I can't seem to do anything
small.<BR><BR>Note: This does *NOT* mean I think the site is in any way
unsafe, I'm just paranoid and would rather have it and not need it. We're not
talking javalina here, so the hogs would likely just move on if they saw us.
Having seen the damage they can cause (an acre a night!!!) it's just best to
dispense with 'em entirely, especially after we seed the camping areas.<BR>--
