Default Proposed OK Legislation On Feral Hogs
Members of the OK house of representatives have proposed a bill that would require the killing of captured feral swine.

Selling live wild hogs is a booming business in parts of OK. Hog doggers and hog trappers haul live hogs to processors in Dallas, TX in violation of federal law. They also sell live feral hogs to "hunting ranches".

HB 1104:

HB 1104 requires feral swine to be killed upon capture and prohibits importation of live feral swine, except by order of the state veterinarian. The measure prohibits new licenses for sporting facilities for feral swine. Feral swine that are transported to an existing sporting facility must be castrated; female feral swine must killed upon capture.
Also proposed is a bill that would allow the hunting of wild hogs at night with the aid of a light.

HB 1068:

HB 1068 allows for nighttime hunting and headlighting of feral swine on private land, provided the hunter has permission from the landowner and has registered with the Department of Wildlife Conservation.
