Would I need permission to start hunting these especially in a residence? My preferred method would be recurve bow.

You'd need a hunting license.. I don't know of any STATE ordinance that prevents you from shooting a bow in a residential area.

Doubt you'll ever see any of these hogs though.

That will be $300 per day per bow and sign this stack of waivers and leases.

nothing will prevent you from shooting the bow. Some cities/counties however have ordinances that stop hunting inside.

Wow thanks. Guess if I bring two bows I get 600 per day.

As long as you scream "its coming right for us", you'll be fine.

If the pigs are on your property you do not need a hunting license. I suggest you contact your county game warden and discuss these issues.

No state license required. Local regulations would certainly apply.


https://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/licenses/hunting-licenses-and-permits

A hunting license is required of any person, regardless of age, who hunts any animal, bird, frog or turtle in this state (except furbearers, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license). No license is required for nuisance fur-bearing animals, depredating hogs or coyotes (see below). Non-residents under 17 years of age may purchase and hunt with the Youth Hunting License (Type 169).


Exceptions

A hunting license is not required to hunt the following:

• Coyotes, if the coyotes are attacking, about to attack or have recently attacked livestock, domestic animals or fowl.
• Depredating feral hogs, if a landowner (resident or non-resident) or landowner's agent or lessee is taking feral hogs causing depredation on the landowner's land.
• Fur-bearing animals, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license or if the fur-bearing animals are causing depredation.

Note: All laws and regulations governing hunter education requirements still apply.
