Take it how you want, but I have heard that shooting pigs at night is very low on the list of things to issue a citation for in places that truly have a hog problem. At least for wardens who are reasonable people. I would call the local warden and tell him what you were doing and that the permit wasn't issued yet to give him a heads up in case he gets complaints about shooting at night. You might be surprised at what he says.

So, that being said, it seems that most people with a hog problem would just ignore this requirement, and just go kill them over bait at night, and be done with it. Is this not a widespread practice? I guess I'm just surprised many people would even fool with getting a ridiculous permit when the chances of getting caught are minimal.

Rant off


I ain't playing with my hunting rights. As bad as I want all pigs dead, I'll do it right or I ain't doing it
