Texas Wild Hog Hunting: License Requirements & Regulations

No, you do not need a hunting license to shoot wild boars in Texas. Wild hogs—also called feral hogs or feral swine—are not protected by Texas law, and landowners can shoot them at any time on their property without a license. However, it is important to note that there may be local regulations or ordinances that govern the discharge of firearms in certain areas, so it is always a good idea to check with local authorities before shooting wild hogs.
