| It would be nice if they would let hunters do the removal. It would be more productive, and the meat could be used for good like battered womans shelters or orphanage's, rather than waisting it.

Nutoy got involved in something like this, a while back. It was a joke from the word go. They decided to allow another month of hunting, and nothing was accomplished on reducing the hog numbers. It will be interesting. Generally, TP&W already have ideas about what they are going to do, and the hearings are merely window dressing. This will be interesting.

Politicians and hunting dont mix, sort of like oil and water. The only politician i would ever trust is now dead and that was "Teddy". he was a huge influence on the NRA, and he was a hunter and believed in hunters rights and preservation of wildlife.
The 2nd amendment is not out dated, and i personally am not ready for a skirt or any other PETA member for president.
The hunters should be allowed to harvest the hogs, no questions asked. It could be done ethically and safely. Better yet allow hunters to trap and remove the hogs to another location. By trapping you will be able to get more hogs out of the area......
