EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Hey fellas im from oklahoma and got on a place across the river im about to be able to run dogs on. Somebody told me I will have to have a hunting license to hunt hogs in texas. True or False? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes sir you will need one

  you can get out of it if you have a letter from the landowner that you are working for him killing depredating wildlife , BUT  you cannot keep the hogs and have to leave them lay to rot in the field .

Texas parks and wildlife website should tell you all you need to know for rules and regs, cost and public land.

You don't have to if you have permission by land owner to eradicate the hogs and leave lay.  But no reason to waste if your killing in big numbers. get one and Donate .

Yep, get a #107   "Non-Resident Special Hunting" for $132 if you are going to hunt there a lot.
Or get a #157 "Non-Resident Five-Day Special Hunting" for $48 each time you go if you arent going to hunt it too often

Can a man get a license walk in like at walmart or do u have to get it thru parks and wildlife office only.

Walmart

Thanks for the info. That really kinda sucks considering I don't know how much I'll be going over there. You would think since hogs are so bad it would just be a free for all lol. But I don't plan on keeping or killing any just helping a few boar hogs lose a few of there man parts as they go there way  ;D. Up here in oklahoma you only have to have a hunting license if you are carrying a gun with you while your hunting. Even at that most of the wardens in my area don't care as long as they don't catch you taking any out alive.

That link will answer most, if not all questions concerning hunting/fishing in texas

Go hunt it anyway. Just don't transport them across state line.
