Some other states also allow this type of hunting and also allow thermal vision scopes. Not sure how many people would want to shell out the cash those scopes demand though.A class wouldn't be out of the question for me, provided the money go back into the ODWC and not some polititions wallet. As far as nightime hunting on private land the landowner can get permission for night hunting. Not certain but I think it might apply to those the landowner lets hunt his property if he's in the group. Not certain so don't quote me on that. However, a night vision scope still isn't allowed for them. I'm not certain what slaughterhouses can or can't do pertaining to wild hogs or the selling of their meat since we butcher all of the hogs we kill ourselves. I do know that there are places here in the state that have sales on feral hogs that are captured. Exactly what is done with them I don't know but I would assume most are butchered since its illegal to release any hog on public or private lands here in the state. Personally, in my experience hog hunting seems to be less expensive, or at least on par with deer hunting. Basically all I'm out is gas and the price of corn each time I go. I do practice scent control so those products do cost me. I haven't bought pork at the grocery store in a while since the deep freeze has about 100lbs. in it currently. Seems like the media made a big deal about the price of pork going up recently though.I agree that there needs to be incentives on both sides. I think as long as the ODWC and the Corps can make some extra cash to help them out for improvements its something they should consider.</blockquote>
