[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1331727, member: 9675"] I am pretty sure this has been talked about before. Calling a GW is always the best advice. Other than that, assuming that there are no special regulations on the WMA, you can shoot a pig at any time with a centerfire rifle. Reason being, coyotes are always in season with a centerfire, therefore hogs are legal with a centerfire rifle. I don't think there are many GW's that are going to give you hell over this if they know you are legitimately hunting pigs and not trying to shoot a deer. Poaching deer off a WMA is just almost unthinkable, but I am sure there are idiots that try. Any warden with a head on his shoulders is going to know what you are really doing and know that it is not only legal, but very beneficial. I have run into one or two young gung ho GW's that would try to write you up probably. So I would always advise a phone call. Archery season has no affect on hunting pigs, and sorry Doc, I disagree with you man, you do not have to have a deer archery tag. If it is during ML or rifle season, you do. "Resident & Nonresident License Requirements: All persons pursuing hogs with a firearm or archery equipment must possess a hunting license (see page 5), unless otherwise exempt. In addition, persons pursuing hogs on WMAs open during youth deer gun, bear muzzleloader (in open counties), deer muzzleloader, deer gun, holiday antlerless deer gun (in open zones), elk gun (in open counties) and antelope gun (in open areas) seasons with a shotgun and rifled slug, or any rifle or handgun larger than .22 caliber rimfire, must possess either a filled or unfilled license appropriate for the current season, unless otherwise exempt."
