It’s already legal with certain permits and licenses. (Licensed pilot and Land Owner Authorization permit).

If I understand the bill correctly, it will allow “sportsmen?” the opportunity to engage in aerial gunning for hogs….which are classified as exotics in Texas. In years past…Feral Hogs were classified as Non-Game-Animals.

The “gunner” must hold a valid Texas hunting license unless the property is being “managed” for purposes of depredation.
