We are constantly loosing places to hunt, and the hog population is exploding..Conventional spot and stalk as well as trapping alone wont help the situation. I have been hunting with gods since I was young and it becoming a thing of the past if we don't do something!
Farmers in Autuga county are taking a beating on trying to plant corn right now, hogs are rooting it up as fast as they plant it an Lowndes county WMA is right across the river
Mr. Howard said it right! Hog hunting is a fast growing sport .The Game in the State belong to The People in The State! Feral Hog is some mighty Fine Eating!! There are 37 WMA'S in the State of Alabama, we are only allowed to Deer Dog Hunt 4 of these, and only certain times. WEARE NOT ALLOWED AT ALL TO HOG DOG HUNT ANY OF THEM!! There's Something WRONG with this picture!
As a wildlife biologist, it is my opinion that any and all methods of controlling feral hogs should be utilized. Especially on public lands where native flora and fauna are being destroyed.
It is an injustice to AL's Sportsmen to not be allowed to hunt Public Land with their dogs while at the same time the ALDCNR is trying to develop 'plans' to control the expanding population of feral hogs. Most of these 'plans' require Funds (taxes/fees) and Manpower (again, costs Money). These costs WILL be levied against the very group that already has answer to the problem and is denied access to the properties.
We love our sport. Lets keep it moving forward. Thank you to all that cares.
I respect the need to hog hunt with dogs.

It's rather obvious the feral hog population is out of control. The measures presented by the game biologists within the state regarding the "aggressive characteristics" of the catch dogs is one sided and without merit. With strategic planning by those who have a long history in the removal of feral hogs the numbers can be systematically reduced also allowing donations of fresh meat to various charities who depend on food donations. The hog hunts could be monitored just like the deer hunts on state land with a "check in and check out " system. The monopoly created on feral hog hunters by a select group of state entities in Montgomery only allows for the continuance of destruction and increase in numbers of the feral hog population.
