RE: If Hogs are real problem down south...
I own over 600 acers and I use to let people hunt hogs for free. That was until they started makeing a mess of the place and letting everyone they know go out. It got to the point, that when I would go out, id have people get hostile with me. They had no clue whos land they were on, and thought I was Joe Smoe coming to mess up their hunt. I actually had to call the cops one time to get some people off my land. They insisted they had the right to hunt there. They did not believe it was my land. In retrospec, I should have filed charges. I had one occasion where there were guys i let hunt dove there and they not only took way more birds than their limit,and also poached a doe. Needless to say, I let the game warden handle that one. Now I only let close friends and family hunt it. I have had many people from Dallas offer big bucks to just hunt varmits. Hogs, yotes, etc. But from prior expericence, I wont take anymore chances. Its sad, but my land is closed to everyone but close friends and family. I think a lot of farmers and ranchers feel the same way. Or they are looking to make a buck. Kinda hard to fault them for that.
