[QUOTE="Coach_1, post: 3059396, member: 9404"] At my local public land spot I was shocked at what the local police office in charge of that land said when I asked if we could set up our tree stands and shoot the pigs with rifles. The land is archery only for deer and shotgun for birds and shotgun and 22lr for squirrels, rabbits, etc. He told me I could use whatever is in season for that game. He said absolutely no rifles. So I asked about buck shot during the seasons shotguns are allowed and he said no. You can only use the legal means of taking ammo for what’s in season. I was like WTH!!! I said so you’re telling me I can shoot a pig with bird shot or steel duck loads and he said yes! I was blown away because his dad is a big wig with the wildlife department. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. So I’m going to try and set up a meeting with him and the committee who regulates the land and see if we can acquire a special permit for the pigs or something. They’re ruining this place that has been a good place. To me it’s another source of revenue if they charge for these permits. If people break the then hammer them and don’t slap them on the wrist. Long story short, these types of lands are protecting these pigs. At this point the pigs are way ahead of us and I don’t know if there is anything to be done to get ahead of them and get control. I’m afraid they’re going to push the deer out of the state because they eat everything they can get their teeth on and leave nothing behind. [/QUOTE]
