Hogs Gone Wild – This week on Gun Talk Radio

Gun Talk Radio

MANDEVILLE, LA --(Ammoland.com)- It’s a unique solution to the wild hog problem in Texas and a cartridge guide, this week on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk (R) Radio, the original nationally-syndicated radio talk show about guns and the shooting sports.

Keith Nichols started Hogs Gone Wild in 2009, after landowners continued telling him to kill as many hogs as he wanted.

Realizing there was a lot of meat available on the hogs, Nichols started his non-profit organization that pairs hunters with land owners and farmers with a hog problem, and then donates the hog meat to area shelters. Hogs Gone Wild also raises money for scholarships for kids of wounded military veterans. More information is available at www.hogsgonewild.org.

Andrew Chamberlain has compiled the Cartridge Comparison Guide, which “compares every factory available cartridge from the 17 calibers up to the 50 caliber cartridges. It compiles cartridge data from all major ammunition manufacturers such as Hornady, Nosler, Barnes, Swift, Norma, Sierra, Weatherby, Winchester, Remington, and Federal”, and includes pictures and detailed narrative.

License Still Needed to Hunt Louisiana Feral Hogs

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries

Louisiana --(Ammoland.com)- The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) wants to remind citizens that a valid Louisiana hunting license is still required to take outlaw quadrupeds including feral hogs with the new laws that went into effect today, Aug. 15.

Legislation passed during the 2011 Legislative Session, provides additional options for citizens to take outlaw quadrupeds (armadillos, coyotes, feral hogs) and nuisance animals (nutria and beaver).

House Bill 294, signed into law by Governor Bobby Jindal as Act 95, makes it legal beginning today, to take outlaw quadrupeds, nutria and beaver at night from March through August on private property with any legal firearm.

Anyone taking part in these activities at night is required to notify the parish sheriff’s office 24 hours in advance of any such hunt.

Additionally, House Bill 169, signed into law by Governor Jindal as Act 29, allows the take of nuisance quadrupeds at night using sound suppressors on the firearm(s) utilized, beginning today. Anyone using such a weapon must have in possession a valid permit issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The use of sound suppressed weapons is restricted to the take of outlaw quadrupeds, including coyotes and feral hogs, from March through August on private property.

The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana’s abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
