[QUOTE="Paul Box, post: 4278542, member: 53685"] This is what I was explained by the ODWC on Lexington WMA after many attempts of questioning them. It's not legal to "hunt" Feral hogs while on this specific WMA although you can shoot them there. If you were hunting say "coyotes" , "ground hogs" by legal means and shot a feral hog then you would be withing the legal means of the law. You must either remove the carcass or bury it in place. No wanton waste issues. Yes, I did say "ground hogs" at Lexington WMA. There are no forking ground hogs at Lex for those that aren't familiar. I hunt property that is adjacent to this WMA and was trying to make sure that my legal responsibilities were covered. I also asked about other WMA's statewide and they said the same applies, unless stated otherwise in the reg's. Like areas closed during gun season. Now they did NOT up and offer this info when questioned, I had to derive this from summations and questions during this conversation. Very frustrating if you ask me. I do know of 2 persons that currently do "shoot feral hogs" at Lex and I have actually been there while the Dept of Ag was out in the helicopters on their hunt & they smoked them. Take this info as you please. [/QUOTE]
