[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 967721, member: 7123"] Oh yeah, good points on hogs..... First, off, they absolutely must eliminate this "rimfire or shot BB or smaller on public lands not during deer gun season thing" - ridiculous. Allow any firearm legal for deer, year round. Hire about a dozen more game wardens for enforcement against poachers, since that is the concern. Hopefully, the extra tags sold for public land hogs will pay for them. Secondly, create & maintain on online system / database / brokerage house / 'meeting place' if you will, for hunters and landowners to get together. Any landowners that have problems with hogs, they put their name and contact info into the 'hat'; then hunters go look and contact them and are then free to try to obtain permission to hunt, either on a fee or no-fee basis - let the free market decide what the cost should be, if any. But the landowners should be encouraged to allow free hunting of their hogs by responsible hunters. This way, instead of the OWD *spending* a buttload of money on the damned helicopter to cull hogs, then will *make* money off tags. [/QUOTE]
