I recognize TWRA is no longer here, just using this forum as a way to gauge experiences from others. This weekend, the TWRA held a hog hunt with dogs on public land near some of my property. Yes I know dogs can't read signs but their owners can and their owners can tone dogs back. Anyway, it's always a pain, I can't take juveniles deer hunting to my own property on that weekend because I know dogs and people will be running everywhere. This year with the snow, I could tell that some guys dropped dogs at my gate and the humans went up into an area that is all private land, no WMA even on that side of the road, no WMA bordering the other side of the road either. I began tracking them across my property and called the poaching hotline when I got service. I left a message but as of tonight- zero call back. Obviously it would have been preferred for a call back quickly so it could have been addressed but a call back at some point would at least be nice. I stopped tracking when they got on more private land that I didn't have access to. The other bad thing is that I had a sounder conditioning to trap but that whole sounder got busted and spread across creation. Anyway, I just think it would be nice for TWRA to call back and see what can be done. It would be nice if they could move that hunt off of juvenile weekend and patrol the road to keep the hunters they invite to the WMA off of private land. It's every year like this. Has anyone actually had any luck calling the hotline? I need the wardens number but he's new.
