Hog hunting methods

Feral hogs

Some states allow year-round hog hunting and night hunting, while others restrict hog hunting on public land to support trapping and removal programs.

Javelina

Javelina seasons and tags are set by states such as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, often with archery and rifle hunts.

Moving hogs

Moving live feral hogs is illegal in many states, since it spreads them to new areas.

Rules change often. Always check the current regulations and get landowner permission.
