I wish gun owners would advocate more for hunting invasive species, like in the US there’s too many feral hogs and nutria.

They do. Texas allows ariel hunting of hogs, there’s no season, and no tag limit. I know lots of other areas have similar approaches of differentiating hunting laws and seasons when it comes to invasive species.

All the hunters I’ve known, have been an outdoor guys and nature conservationists, but also conservative usually.

You drop the mermaids onto the hogs from the air; Surf 'n Turf.

No tag limit? That’s too far. I think the limit should be…say…30 to 50 feral hogs.

You should come and see how many and how invasive they really are.

We need to do a complete extermination of the feral hog population, not only should it be no tag limit there should be a bounty on them.

I think they still have legal requirements about wanton waste, or at least best effort.

The no tag limit makes sense though, as they’re an incredibly invasive species and the aspirational goal is removal.

None of this should be considered legal advice, I could be mistaken on the regulations. You should check them out yourself to make sure I’m not full of shit, or confused.

Most gun owners that I know are not hunters. I’d like to change their perspectives and get them outdoors.
