Anyone have a hog problem on their land?

Really?! This is the first I'm hearing of it!

Illegal in Texas to donate feral swine to food bank.

That's not entirely true. You can trap them and deliver them live to a slaughterhouse where they can be inspected pre-slaughter.

There are about 80 approved places for that. They also have to be quarantined for 180 days after the initial evaluation.....generally at your expense. By the time they are approved for slaughter, those pigs cost $15 or more per pound and are shipped out of country to recoup the cost of feeding and vet care for the las six months.

food banks cannot take feral pig through HFH or individuals, and the quarantine stations are a for profit venture.
So unless you are awash in millions of dollars in cash, you can't donate feral pigs to food bank organizations.

If i hunt your hogs on your land with your ammo and gun, after you send me gas money, and I donate my killings to the food bank via the slaughterhouse, can I claim it as a charitable donation on my tax return?

I didn't say it was feasible. I said it wasn't 100% illegal.

What the person I responded to said he was doing is illegal( in reference to donating excess pigs he shot with his .22)

 

[stx kid]

Well shoot.. I need to call up the food bank then and figure out what the deal is then...

I think we just accidentally figured out why chinese chicken tastes so good in Laredo.

Pork the other white meat

 

[stx kid]

Nah, that's cat meat. Unless your at linns, then it's dog.

I think on American Hoggers they say they donate it for all the PETA people before they turn the cameras off, stick the hogs and dump them in the brush, by the way, hunting hogs by knife is a lot cheaper these days.

I wouldn't doubt it, I've been approached a couple times by the local sushi place wanting my Smacks.

I wanna try out some hog hunting.

Hogs are such a problem all over Texas, you'd think there would be more ranchers and farmers BEGGING guys to go shoot some on their land, but I don't see any of that. I guess they don't want to get some hoo-haws shooting everything that moves, either.

This thread has numerous posts as to why ranchers are not begging people take care of their hog problem. Your conclusion pretty much sums it up.

Yup. I have cows worth a pretty damn penny. Most couldn't afford to replace one if they shot it, nor would they know how to process it after shooting it either. That meat is not being wasted..

Shooting a couple on the weekends does absolutely nothing to control the population. The majority of hunters do not have the skills, equipment, or motivation to go after pigs in a manner that would have any impact on the population.

Spot on.
