what is the fine for
What is the fine if someone intentionallystocks hogson their land and they escape that property onto public land?
Isn't it possible to have several hundred acres of your own land and place 20 sows and 5 boars on it in hopes of letting them free range there until you gather them up for slaughter?

Bailey, I'm sure that the question can only be answered on a state by state basis. In TX the TAHC controls the transfer related to the human movement of hogs. Here it has not been closely monitored but it appears that the TAHC is now contacting a number of the peole that are involved in stocking for hunting and there appears to be considerable concern from some of those people.

If your suggesting this as an agricultural practice and your suggesting these hogs are livestock, then you're going to find yourself liable for any personal or property damage they cause when they wander off your property. If your introducing them as wild stock, you face some nasty problems with more than one government agency because of the possibility of introducing disease, violating laws regulating the importation of non-native species and a myriad of regulations you haven't thought of.

Likely it is illegal to do unless you have permits from the state. You aren't going to get it for hogs.

No way. 25 hogs would be off of several hundred acres the first night. Fence won't keep them there, they will root under it. You turn 25 loose you will not gather all of them back up as you say.
