[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1325976, member: 99239"] Hello, Being a non native Texan, here is the way I see it. YES wild hogs are destroying acres upon acres. YES ranch owners have gotten accustomed to the crazy high prices hunters pay to kill them. YES some ranch owners are double dipping per say in regards to getting paid from hunters yet filing insurance claims for crop and property destruction. YES the State of Texas feels the need to "step in" and help curb the wild hog infestation. While we all have different opinions on who, how and what needed to be done, we ALL understand that something needs to be done. I suggest any ranch owner that gets paid by hunters to come shoot some hogs has to abide by a few "stipulations" such as: 1. You cannot file crop/property damage. 2. You cannot file ag exemption on your property. That being said, the State should have some "stipulations" to abide by also, such as: 1. Any rancher that request State assistance in removal of wild hogs from their ranch should be provided that assistance. At that point it is the States choice whether they shoot or trap them. 2. If a rancher has requested the States assistance but has not been slotted on their calendar yet should have their crop/property damage claims approved immediately after State inspection. There are LOTS of other ways for the ranches and State to work together BEFORE poisoning. THEIS [/QUOTE]
