Got an email today saying ,I was the winner of the free hog hunt. ;D
I filled out a drawing for a free hog hunt in Texas a while back a show in Tulsa.

Well,what a joke...after reading the rest of the email.
I got to pay for an out of state license $48.00 ???
Hog processing $35.00-$45.00 ???
$100 to the guide. ???
$75.00 for a booking fee. ???


Thought this was a FREE HOG HUNT!!!

Only thing out of pocket would be gas money to go & get back on.


So, for y'all--- Do not enter into a drawing for a free hog hunt by Hunt Hogs In TX.

that hunt has been a rip-off for many years.
BTW, there is no license fee for hogs in TX, nor Ok unless your out in a deer/turkey season dates if I remember right.

I seen this on anther site as well about thet same company. I'll find it and link it here. If I recall in there case they didn't know about the hidden costs thill they showed up for the hunt.

Yea, I got drawed for the same free hunt last year...I messed with the guy for a while making him think I was all for it...such a rip off... When I lived in Texas I did have to have a hunting lincense to hunt anything....I think this is the only legit part of the package...another topic...I read on the Oklahoma Wildlife web site last night where there is a ranch in Southwest Oklahoma that has documented proof of Javalinas on the ranch..kind of neat to have the little guys in Oklahoma......

Here is the links to the site okshooters.com and the post a guy made that I believe is for this same company and how its a scam.

I copied this from the Texas wildlife department page:

A hunting license is required of any person, regardless of age, who hunts any animal, bird, frog or turtle in this state (except furbearers, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license). No license is required for nuisance fur-bearing animals, depredating hogs or coyotes (see below). Non-residents under 17 years of age may purchase and hunt with the Youth Hunting License (Type 169).

Exceptions: a hunting license is not required to hunt the following:

Coyotes, if the coyotes are attacking, about to attack, or have recently attacked livestock, domestic animals, or fowl.
Depredating feral hogs, if a landowner (resident or non-resident) or landowner's agent or lessee is taking feral hogs causing depredation on the landowner's land.
Fur-bearing animals, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license or if the fur-bearing animals are causing depredation.
Note: All laws and regulations governing hunter education still apply.

Yea Dennis I've read the same regs before...I have truly bought my share of non-resident hunting lincenses from Texas.(My in-laws lived in South Texas for over 20 years..)...I just didn't think I would be classified as a landowner...landowner agent...or lessee..and I sure didn't think I could prove that the hogs where causing depredation to land that I didn't own.actually I think I remember the same type of wording for Javalinas...I made lots of trips to South Texas hunting Javalinas,thus the reason for all the hunting lincenses........But...I'm sure I'm wrong..

In texas you are required to have the license unless issued the depredation permit by the GW
