Make sure you’re listed on the lease.
From the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency – Wild Hog Lease Member Exemption Set to Expire July 31, 2014
Nashville, Tennessee – The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is reminding all individuals involved in private hunting leases that they must be listed as designees on a landowner’s wild hog exemption in order to assist with wild hog control after July 31, 2014.
Currently, individuals that are a part of leases established before Sept. 15, 2011 are allowed to assist landowners with wild hog control in addition to the designees listed on the landowner’s exemption.
The TWRA converted its wild hog management program from big game to nuisance control in 2011. The expiring exception was originally created to accommodate hunters who had entered lease agreements prior to the TWRA’s change in wild hog management.
Landowners are able to have 10 designees on tracts of less than 1,000 acres. For those individuals who own at least 1,000 acres, a designee may be added for every 100 acres. For example if a landowner has 2,000 acres, he or she may have 20 designees.

oh this this only applies to Tennessee 🙂 So I ….(nah that one is too easy)
Only Tennessee can take a ridiculously simple idea and turn it into a bureaucratic fuster-cluck.
We’re in our fourth year of trying to get a good gun-in-your-car-in-the-parking-lot-at-work bill passed. Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi and even Ala-frickin’-bama can do this but we can’t seem to get it right.
That hog was brought down in Forced Perspective ,Tennessee.
I don’t recall any story of Justice Kagan being killed in TENN.
Gosh. So they want you to help out, but you’ll be in trouble if your name isn’t on a piece of paper?
can that lady running for office still castrate them?
A really smart thing to do would be for all hunters to NOT participate in any game management programs. Let those wild boars run rampant for a while… see what happens and how quickly it happens. The Game Management Gestapo will be beggin’ for hunters.
It HAS to be a Dems idea.
Always making things more complicated, more expensive and get WORSE results.
@ yourfavoriteunkle, I like the idea but I can think of one drawback for the land owners – they are the ones that will suffer financially from the destruction and are, in fact, the ones that want them killed the most.
That would be like holding themselves hostage like Cleavon Little’s character Bart in Blazing Saddles did – “Everyone stand back or the nigger gets it!” while pointing a gun at his own head.
While I think it’s hogwash, leasing may end up being a bit more profitable for the landowners by creating a shortage of “spots” available to hunt them, this can drive up the cost by hunters willing to pay more than they have been to get a “spot”.
Small consolation if the hogs are out-reproducing the limited hunters and destroying the crops still.
But limiting the amount of hog killers is not a way to get rid of more. Ever. It looks like they are staring to view hog hunting as an industry now instead of a crop threat.
Any hunting leases out there to thin out Dems?
Release some hogs near the state cap. That
Will learn em.
This is nuts. Feral pigs are pests; as long as you have landowner permission and a license that should be it. And I’m pretty flexible on the license thing.
No hunting license needed if it is your own land in Texas. No limit. No season.
“Please kill alll you can with whatever you have and whenever you can” is the policy.
On public land you need a general hunting license for feral hogs. But still, no limit no season, etc..
Considered a pest here in TX, you can hunt it at night with thermal or IR night vision scopes. It helps if the local county sherrif allows you a suppressor.
Night shooting with a suppressor – any time of year, no limit. Yeah, I’m signing up and paying to do that sh!7…
…Have a friend in Middle TN with 600 acres,
nobody goes around checking for who and when
you kill a hog…Pure Bull Crap, no such
thing!!!
Leave it to the government to make killing wild hogs more restrictive. Why is that not a surprise?
Texas has a “gun in the parking lot” law, too. Before it went into effect, I just carried concealed inside my workplace, as my employer threatened to conduct random searches of vehicles in the parking lot. I did it for years and kept my mouth shut. Nobody ever knew and now I’m retired. I traveled to my job in the early hours of the morning, down some lonely roads, and I made the decision that I would not allow my employer to dictate to me that I had to travel to and from work defenseless. Screw them! I was willing to risk my job to make sure I was able to defend myself, if needed.
marcus t. cicero, you sayin’ we’ve been had?
Hambone, similar situation except I was roaming over a three-state area in the mid-South.as a service technician, working for a Japanese company headquartered in NJ.
Since I was the one that was going to get shot/cut/stabbed, I decided they weren’t going to tell me what I could and could not carry in my POV.
Also, in Texas, you can legally hunt hogs hanging onto the side of a helicopter while shooting a fully automatic rifle. God Bless Texas!
