A 5 day non-resident license is $45. The fine for hunting without a licenseis a good bit higher. You decide.
I agree with Greg.

Texas Game Wardens are not going to be fooled. They know the geography and landowners of each sector they control. They know who is hunting and who is actually getting rid of pests. Fines can range to 25,000 dollars and time in jail...
Plus if you come in my state to hunt, I want you pay your fees like everyone else, or you're just poaching.
I don't agree, but the next time I see a game warden I'll ask about it.

The regulationsseem prettyclear that if you are helping the landowner get rid of them as pests you don't need a license. Now if I was charging money for someone to hunt my land that would be hunting, but letting them go by for free to kill pigs that are destroying my property, I'm not so sure that is hunting even if they plan on eating them. Trapping pigs doesn't require a license and you can sell those at a profit.
