You are correct with your statement that pigs are considered a nuisance in some parts of the state. Since they directly range in the same areas that deer range, many hunters are more than happy see pigs move on. Here in the north Texas area, pigs range through areas, many times passing and not actually setting up residence (they don't like to be around people, so alot of activity in the ranging area will "sometimes" cause them to move on.

They also are very destructive on crops, especially bermuda grass bottom lands. If you have never seen an area where hogs have rooted, you will be suprised. Some of the holes are so large, you would think that someone has had a backhoe in to dig the holes (except there is so many and such an irregular partern). But since there is a market now for hunting them, I think you would be extremely lucky to find someone that would allow you to hunt at no cost (unless you know a landover that has an abundance and also does not have their land leased out).
