Thread: Pigs in the water

Are you talking about feral hogs, or farm animals? Good question, tho. If it's considered hunting, I don't think Mo allows hunting from boats. Maybe if the hogs are considered 'nuisance' animals it would be allowable.

wildlife code of missouri 3 CSR 10-7.410 hunting methods stats Except as provided 3 CSR 10-7.431, motor boats may be used if the motor has been completely shut off and its progress therefrom has ceased. Think about waterfowl hunters.

Just pull up along side of them and drown the dirty stinking things

Troll right up and snipe them. Good to go!

ooooops!

Well guys I did pull right beside them and did try to drown them but they float like corks. I circled them a few times thought about running over them but chickened out figured that I might get one wrapped around the prop. I did have a pocket knike but it seemed mighty small. I have taken to packing some iron just in case but never have seen any since. And I have thought about duck hunters but they use shotguns and thought that there just might be some odd regulations about using a rifle or handgun while on the water.

Thanks for the replys though.

It doesn't matter the weapon. The key is you must have the motor shut down and be dead still in the water. You can't shoot from a boat if it is still moving

Not if it's moving from the motor, but if ya are paddling it you can shoot from it. If it's during deer season and you are using a centerfire gun you gotta have a deer tag, if you're shooting a shotgun with shot (not slug) or a 22 you have to have a small game permit.
