[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1216987, member: 7123"] Well, I don't see how it's any MORE ridiculous than having to have a license to shoot deer on your own property. Deer that are damaging your crops, for example. At least with pigs, you can get the permission slip for FREE, versus having to PAY to take out the deer damaging your livelihood - so from that perspective, it makes a certain amount of sense. Of course you understand that the REASON for the rule is to slow down the deer poacher/criminal landowners who would just go out in the field with a gun during deer season.... Game warden comes up - "Whatcha doing?" "Waiting for hogs / culling hogs". "Oh ok, carry on - no license or permit needed." Warden leaves. Guy shoots (poaches) deer with no license. THAT is why they make the law, to (try to) make the unscrupulous have to pay to buy a deer tag and hunting license. It's all under the general guise of "ensuring revenue collection". And it wouldn't be necessary were it not for the folks who would use pigs to circumvent the deer licensing laws. NOW, having said that, if you presented an argument to me that no landowner should have to buy a license or tag for their own land in any event, period, regardless of game or non-game animal sought, and you could convince me of this, then yes, it's utterly ridiculous. :) In my understanding, getting such a depredation permit is pretty easy to do, and free, so in light of their concern and this fact, it's not *completely* ridiculous, no.
