Nighttime hog hunting under new law

[lsu fan]

Has anyone made it hunting yet since the new law was passed? Any luck?

The Season ends Wednesday at midnight. Unfortunately, I have not been able to go, but I plan to when it opens back up.

I just now looked up the hog hunting laws for the first time our land is infested with hogs who destroy several acres of pasture every year..we've been shooting the devils on sight, day or night for years without mercy but it still seems to be a loosing battle. Hogs, armadillos, beavers, and nutria rats are 4 creatures I'm going to continue to kill year 'round day or night no matter what the state says..when it got to the point where a walk through the pasture turned into being chased by 5 hogs it was on!

That's what I'm talkin' bout!!

Over the years I've figured out that those lil' bastards have such ****-poor eyesight that sometimes when you spook em, you may think they're charging you when actually they're trying to run away.

Yes they are. When I got charged I was out in the pasture with nothing but a shovel and they all just came crashing out of the wood line full speed ahead. I threw the shovel down and ran like scalded dog. I had to jump a stream before makin it back to the four-wheeler and thats where they stopped..but I sat there for about 2 minutes watching them paw the ground and snort around before they ran off. Talk about a pissed off animal. And that is why I don't even go feed the horses without my AR in the four-wheeler rack.

Had one charge my brother and i...In a cow pasture..was about 7 yrs old..Had a Uncle ran out to the cow pasture and fought off the Boar with a fence post..He broke the post over the boar's snout before it decided to return to the wood's...He saved our butt's that day...1 Brave man...

Might just take you up on that when I get back to LA in oct. When I was home last December they had killed 5 or 6 more. The majority of them being on one if my uncles land. He has already said he doesn't care who kills them or how they do it..he just wants them gone. He cuts hay every year and the past 2-3 years he's lost a lot of it due to hogs tearing up the fields so bad he can't bail in certain areas.

 

[audioshooter]

if you just want to try and control them, mix c=broken clay pigeons, deer corn and diesel. set that out and the hogs will eat it and die. not very humane, but its a way to control them... somewhat

I've been looking for someplace close to hunt hogs. If he wants them hunted I would be very interested.
I'm assuming it's in the Monroe area?

It would give me a good excuse to get a suppressor before next Feb.

The way I read that we can only use suppressors to hunt outlaw quadrupeds at night. Is that how y'all interpret that as well??

That's what it looks like. I'm sure if there's enough interest, it could possibly be changed to allow use during daylight hours (within the march to august restriction).

We're about 30 miles from Monroe out close to Chatham..I just use Monroe because my town isn't really on the map. But yeah I'll be back in LA for good oct 2 and I'm thinking about messaging a few folks who were askin about comming up that way to shoot some so I will let you know. If I knew somebody with dogs I'm sure they could tear the hogs up out there. If you just walk through the hardwoods area along the edge of the swamp where they bed down you see hog sign every couple of feet all through the area. It's really quite ridiculous.

They do not have it worded clearly on the website. Act 29 applies to hunting anytime, not just at night.

It looks like this act has not been added to the online statutes as of yet. It will eventually be added to R.S. 56:116.1(D)(3).

Whew, I was pretty sure the law wasn't written for just night-time hunting.

Thanks for posting that. The WLF does a pretty decent job of putting the rules together in one packet for the most part, but as you can see here, it's not always to the letter of the law. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to print out that RS if you do hunt with a suppressor.
