Thank you Zim. I am all on board with your suggestion. Let the hogs be hunted in all deer seasons with the legal weapons for the season.

I think what DNR is trying to address is that with a pretty much wide open season on hogs anyone with a hunting license would have a green light to be afield with a firearm ....... and maybe hunting something else. wink wink
