Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 59441" data-attributes="member: 605">The State of Missouri began having sightings so they enlisted the sportsmen to eradicate the pigs. But the problem grew worse and worse. The State figured it out. Hunters very much enjoy the action and were hauling feral pigs in via stock trailer. Some sportsmen quit hunting deer altogether because feral pigs are more fun. No license required, no limits, no season. Nebraska got ahead of it early and banned shooting a feral pig period. Other States are following Nebraska's lead in one form or another. <a href="http://www.legis.nd.gov/cencode/t36c26.pdf?20151103182018" target="_blank">http://www.legis.nd.gov/cencode/t36c26.pdf?20151103182018</a>CHAPTER 36-26FERAL SWINE36-26-01.
