Have 2 cousins on middle, north/south wise farms. One near Scott AFB. The other at the eastern side near Effingham. They say no hogs there. Doesn't Missouri have them?

We have them here. Not over abundance but we have them

We have quite a few in Southwest Missouri

I like bbq let them come to wis con sin. Something else to hunt beside deer.

If there are hogs way south I’m 30 miles north the way the crow flies of Scott AFB

I think it would be better if you started a go fund me so we could send you south to hunt them than invite that kind of crop damage here.

Go to Texas. No license required. No limit. If it's a legal weapon you can use it to hunt them. Just make sure you have permission to hunt the property. Many people will welcome you.

The state says they arent here, but then puts a law in effect that you can only shoot a wild hog during shotgun deer season and only if you have an unfilled shotgun tag. Claims if we shoot the hogs that dont exist then the professionals will have a harder time eradicating the hogs that dont exist.

now that is true ILL policy , flawed in every way

WI said we might have a pocket of them that are escapees here and there and we want to make sure they never take hold

if you have any hunting or trapping license even a small game you may shoot them

I think they did that to do something to make wardens happy that you can't just be out hunting coyotes or hogs with no license at all so you are bound by the game laws of whatever hunting license you are under

but if your at granny's house having not purchased any license for the year say it is and a coyote or hog wanders into her yard as long as it is not in town , shoot it and say granny shot it and keep your mouth shut call it land owner privilege

They did that because in states that allow year-round feral hog hunting there usually is a human-assisted hog population increases.

So, remove the legal opportunity to hunt em and folks don't have the incentive to "move em around" and stock new areas.

They can stay in the deep south I don’t want them any closer.

Exactly. Ks had to go to special permit to shoot them instead open season on them because people were turning them loose to establish a population to hunt

Farmers have crop insurance for that stuff.

Wildlife may not be covered under federal crop, I’ll have to ask an adjuster.

that right there is the thinking killing this country from the inside

retail stores have insurance

you have auto insurance

you have home owners insurance

so people should steal your stuff , your car , burn your hosue , take your food and you should let them after all you have insurance

If you are a landowner and don't have them--you shouldn't want them.

Shooting them is only fun for a while.

If you get hogs it’s a never ending battle to try and get rid of them. There’s a reason they’re trying to develop a poison that only affects hogs. I know of some boys that were catching pigs and relocating them. They nor their dogs didn’t fare to well when caught. Sometimes small town Justice trumps anything the law can do to you.

My dad shot this one in 2014 in Brown county. Never saw one before that or after. No idea where it came from. It was the only one shot that season according to the DNR. It was (maybe still is?) only legal to shoot them during the gun deer seasons. This one was unlucky and wandered by during shotgun.

That pig looks like it has fur vs hair, lol.
