Filled tag? I honestly did not realize this. I thought you had to have an "unpunched" tag to be out with centerfire rifle during those times. That's good to know. Thanks.

Am I reading Jared right when he said buckshot not centerfire?
The law in question states that if you are hunting any "wildlife" during one of the big game firearms/primitive seasons, w/ a shotgun and slug, or any rifle or handgun larger than 22 lr, you must possess a VALID license for the appropriate big game season.
For hunting Feral hogs on private land with those same weapons listed above, during the big game firearms/primitive seasons, a person must possess either a filled or unfilled license for the appropriate big game season.
Hunting hogs on private land with Shotguns w/pellets including buckshot would not require a license.
Hope this helps.
So... deer can't be legally taken with buckshot?
Nope, hasn't been legal since before I can remember.
See I live and hunt on my own land and to hunt coyotes or pigs during rifle season I have to have a deer tag. So to sit in my back yard and hit my coyote call I have to buy a deer tag that cost over $20. That is ridiculous in my opinion. I get why they have that law on the books but thats no different than ticketing someone for planning on doing something wrong even though they didnt do anything wrong yet.
Not exactly....

What is free hog control permit and how do I get one?
Landowners may obtain a free hog control permit from the local game warden allowing them to harvest hogs during antelope, bear, deer and elk firearm seasons without purchasing the corresponding big-game license (night shooting exemptions are also available, see below). Landowners must always call the Game Warden to obtain the permit.
Yes this is true, but thats just hoops I have to jump through when I decide I just want to go shoot a coyote. Or see one while Im out feeding my dogs. Ive done the night shooting permit and its not a big deal but you have to get a game warden to come out and fill out the paperwork. And my county doesnt even have one so I have to get one from a neighboring county to come out. Which can take a while.
Nope, you get the night permit for hogs online in about 3 minutes. Maybe 8 minutes if your not computer savvy.
