Do you think Texas will ever hire Animal Damage Control Trappers?hunters to run dogs on hogs and give them the right to go where the hogs are located without a treapass law coming into affect?? I hear talk it is coming, the state has had several people killed from hog wrecks on roads with autos and trucks and the trila lawyers want to sue Texas because it did not do enuff to stop the hogs from killing there clients. I think these large ranches who dont do any hog control should have to allow hunting and traping of the hogs and also to build hog proof fences to keep them from getting onto a public hiway.(Ducking)lol

I haven't heard anything about that but I did hear that some counties were going to put a bounty on feral hogs to be paid to land owners.

Do I think this will happen in Texas? No it will neverhappen. We do not have a hog problem! We have a landowner problem. Growing up there were a few hogs here and there, but ole home grown Joe the farmer or rancher always had some kind of a firearm in the seat of the truck to take care of any unwanted or undesirable pest. Ole Joe the farmer, now this guy is just like the Indains of the past. Someone else wanted his land and eventually pushed him out. Taxes got too high, due to governmental involvement in agriculture he could no longer make a living on the land so he moved to town for work. NOW, who bought this land, the rich from town, politicians who destroyed agriculture. They live in the cities and only visit the country to HUNT and recreation. AND LORD FORBID YOU SIT FOOT ON THEIR PROPERTY!!!!!! Where do all the hog population go to breed and raise their young? The safe Havens created by theses people. This is exactly why it will never happen. By the way like Geronimo I'm a hold out just trying to stay out of the city competely!!!! If I offended you, you may be part of the problem.

Yes, Gov. trappers are being push here. Mainly to help them keep their jobs during the state cutbacks. But here is what is happening here. The land owners who are signing the contracts( contracts between the landowner and the state which state no one else can be hunting or trapping the target animals) are kicking a hunter off to allow the state a chance. Which makes more sense 10 hunters each hunting one of the 10 farms or 1 Gov trapper hunting all 10 farms. I 've even had a trapper admit to me wether you catch your target animals or not, the paper work you turn in each week is all that is looked at. Paper trappers is what this amounts to. Besides the starting salary for a trapper is $20,000 a year and doesn't get much better with years of service. I work for a state agency and they don't pay much better, but know I couldn't survive on what they pay. One of the biggest tools used right now with the trappers is the helicopter, the county is ask to pay $800 per hour flown. Any one of us can rent the same helicopter and do the shooting for $300. Where is the extra $500 going. I've sit through meeting organized by management organizations and TPW where the trappers did their presentation. I always walked away laughing at the joke most of the landowners actually believed( city slickers for you). But as the saying goes HE THAT HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. So beware what legislature is being pushed in your state capital. Our best interest is never in their minds!!!!!!
