I agree with Nathan. do you really think that the government can make more of a change then all the farmer/ranchers whose land is being torn up. If every landowner ran traps and killed on sight then the population would drop considerably. If you don't want deer in your okra patch then build a fence or get a permit to kill deer year round.
As for the golf course example. There is no reason that i should pay more taxes to keep hogs off of a privately owned golf course so that you can have a pretty place to putt. Yes, the player should absorb the cost not the government.
I am truly amazed at how many people here think that the government can fix there problems. There is no reason I should have to pay taxes so government employees can ride around an kill hogs or run traps. If it is that much of a problem then let the rancher pay a professional trapper to come in and take care of the problem. I can guarantee it would be cheaper than the government doing it.

I made a comment that was not very PC. Mr. Elliot corrected me. Let's move on.

No I wasn't raised in the city, but with your vast life experience it would be an easy mistake. When I grew up I left the farm. Your property is your problem not mine. If they put a bounty on hogs, the money will come from taxes. If people dont want others on their property, then they get what they get, but I ain't paying for it when there are options available to them. Bottom line.

I digress, probably wouldn't be a tax, more likely another fee on hunting and fishing licenses.

Your looking at the wrong agency to charge that with bud...
An increase of fees doesn't go toward problem species. No reason to throw this one at TPWD...shows how little you know.
Hmmm, you must not like paying school, city, county, land taxes, etc. which each and everyone does that owns a home or land.

I'll word this a little more carefully...
The same with illegal aliens crossing and destroying property. Is that my problem? If so, why is it illegal for me to "deal" with my problem. We're paying taxes on that "population control"...if the hog deal was run the same way, the dang hogs would be getting free vet care and all of their piglets would have to be granted access with special treatment to the Houston Stock Show.

yes cause killing hogs for population control is the same as people crossing the border.
This is just another example of people being lazy and wanting the government to take care of them. No different than Welfare.

It's not neccesarily comparing apples to manzanas...he's saying the hogs are here that's your problem deal with it. He doesn't want to pay taxes to get rid of them. He's paying taxes to get rid of the illegals and it's for the most part wasted money. If that problem was deemed "my" problem and I was expected to deal with it the same way as I would any other unwanted or intrusive pest I'd do it. I'm not saying I'd shoot every illegal I saw but I'm saying I could trap them and harrass them til they were at least run onto my neighbors place....dangit, now you mo rons got me confused...

You are al right... Relying on the government to solve your problems is the problem.
I don't think we should pay extra to kill hogs.
I don't think we should pay extra to stop illegals either.
But then again the state pays for mosquito control, grasshopper control, boil weavil, heck even fire ants (low cost Amdro is still available)....
BUT, don't tax me for your problem.
My insurance rates are higher because some moron somewhere doesn't wear a helmet on a motorcycle.
My taxes are paying health care for people that aren't even Americans...
Sorry to side with the minority.... But the government is not the solution to any problem I can think of....

I agree with nathan..I dont want my tax dollars going toward a problem that is solely the ranchers,or landowners responsibility...also being from the city has nothing to do with this...We all pay taxes.

Im not getting into politics, BUT, if you guys have a hog or coyote problem, i think your looking at it wrong. you have a valuable resource that. there are thousands of huntets out here, like me, that would LOVE to shoot them for you. all you have to do is let us know. hell, ill evven sell some hunts for you and help you make some extra money. think about it, you get rid of the problem AND make money. if you think im not serious, try me. as far as the hogs go, there are thousands of people that are starving. why not shoot the hogs snd donate the meat to some place like FARMERS AND HUNTERS FEEDONG THE HUNGRY?

I apologize, this thread seems to have taken on a life of its own. It was a simple question as to wether or not the bounties existed.
To clarify, I kill hogs regularly will get the meat if it is good and leave the rest to the dogs and birds.
The only reason I was asking, is that since I do kill them figured it would help with other expenses. I am by no means saying that we should go out there and rally for this, but if it already existed, then it would be a plus.
