Yes, it's a bit much to call all this in 24 hours in advance to shoot hogs at night during hunting season. That requirement has stopped me from taking hogs at night a few times because I didn't have 24 hours notice (just felt like taking out a few hogs after work). My guess is that it's to help stop DWF from sending agents to areas where hogs are being slayed because neighbors are hearing gunshots and think deer are being hunted at night. Your neighbor hears your gunfire at midnight, calls it in, the officers check the database and see a hog permit has been called in for that area. No need to sent field agents into that area if it's just hogs being taken. But that's just my uneducated guess as to why all the fuss about obtaining a PM permit to take hogs during hunt season.
I'd like to see them do away with the 24-hour advance notice requirement.
I had read that wrong, the line is a 24hr line to notify them. So call any time and notify, get your confirmation number and start shooting
