The designated period for pursuing feral swine in Texas lacks fixed dates and operates on a year-round basis. This extended availability is due to the animal’s classification as a non-game species and the ongoing efforts to manage its population and mitigate the damages it inflicts on agriculture, native ecosystems, and property.
The continuous opportunity to harvest these animals presents significant benefits for both landowners and the broader Texan environment. It empowers property owners to actively protect their land and resources from the destructive tendencies of feral swine. Furthermore, the ongoing management efforts contribute to the preservation of native flora and fauna by limiting the swine’s negative impact on habitats and reducing competition for resources.
