Requirements For Hog Hunting In Texas

By Patricia Murray


Our ancestors used to hunt animals for food. Nowadays, we have domestication of animals and we can use those for food. However, hunting is still an ongoing activity. It is however only allowed for specific species of animals. Therefore, people who still enjoy it can take part. Discussed below are some of the things you need for hog hunting in Texas.

The first thing is to ensure that you have a chasing license. This is necessary as it shows that the law has allowed you to hunt. You should make sure that the license is on you at all time just in case you run into law enforcement. In the event that you are seeking permission to hunt on private property, you will need to prove that it is legal.

The next step is to pick out the weapon you are most comfortable with. You can choose a gun or a bow and arrow. Some guns require for you to be at close range with the pig while others such as riffles work long distance. In the case of a bow and arrow, it is best to use a heavy pulling weight and use a broadhead arrow to get the pig down.

You should not just bring the one weapon on a hunt. Something like a blade may come in handy while in the field. You may shoot down the pig but as much as it has gone down, it may still be alive. In such a case, you may choose a blade to put the pig out of its misery. This knife should be good enough not to disappoint you in the field.

The same way we are dedicated to picking out an outfit for various occasions, we should have the same dedication when it comes to picking out the hunting attire. Make sure you have a backpack with essentials like a first aid kit or if you are chasing in a group, at least one of you has a backpack. You should also have a piece of clothing that makes it easier for you to identify each other.

First aid is one of those things that people tend to take rather lightly. The one thing that should always be in mind is to carry a first aid kit in case we run into any misfortunes. On the hunt, you may get injured and not necessarily by the wild pigs. You may slide, fall and injure yourself. Without the first aid kit, it will be much harder to help you.

When it comes to moving the pig, it should not be too hectic. You cannot carry it on your back or with your hands. You need rubber gloves to handle the carcass, a big piece of cloth to lay the pig on and some nylon rope this will allow you to efficiently and easily pull the carcass to the point you need to get it.

You need to plan the time to go hunting. Wild pigs sleep in the day and graze in the night and early mornings. You will need to pick one of the two times. At night would be best as it gives you more time. Ensure you have enough lighting.
