I did it, but I knew the land owners personally for many years prior.
Trust is what it takes, I was sought out because of trust.
Many land owners have been burned by paying hunters: damage, parties, four wheelin fun, injured livestock, gates left open and missing equipment.
One guy convinced my friend to let him dove hunt, so his kid could experience it... You wanna know what really occurred? An urban redneck dirtbike/drunken 4wheeler fest.
But then, I hear everyone complaining that farmers wont let people hunt them.
I hunted for free for many years. Not really free, because if I was going to the farm anyway, I'd give the owner a "day Off"; I'd put out round bales, fill water tanks, feed supplements, check the fences, bring supplies from town. I was also a heavy equipment mechanic in a past life, so I'd make some light repair work on the tractors. One farm provided me with a truck to use.
Free and open pig hunting on texas farms will not happen on a large scale.
I'm not sure how I feel about mass poisonings, I'm no biologist, so I can't back up any misgivings I have about it with scientific data.
