people are not supposed to use bait, rifles, electronic calls, spot lights, vehicles and a pile of other things as well.....but these things fly off the shelf every year and you know folks are using them. Folks market the products and then let the individual determine how to use them (legally or otherwise)......funny, how they are now trying to do just the opposite with AR rifles!
As for the broadhead - I thought that was already a thing actually. I have not seen or used it, but as I understood it. There was a GPS tracker in the shaft/head somewhere that you could use an app on your phone to help find it. Only gonna help you find deer if you don't get a pass thru or the deer doesn't break it off.
It won’t be long before that hog law changes as they expand their territory...when I was a kid nobody ever heard of a wild hog north of the red river...now they are commonplace everywhere.This one advertised on this site had a barbed spear attached right below broadhead that stuck in animal so it could be tracked.Know what you mean about gadgets.Our local atwoods sells hog lure,bait, and lights but it is illegal for anyone except landowner to kill a hog in kansas
Agree/understand. My point is that "legality" of a products use isn't the responsibility of the retailer. And especially at the local level I am sure they know what some of the local laws are yet will sell products they have a certain level of understand will be used in an illegal manner (as baiting for hunting is illegal here). Yet, we see more and more retailers on the AR band wagon....Well, the reason for that is that all those things are legal for some uses in various states. Not all are legal in all states for all things.......
History shows that retailers do have some responsibility for the legal use of their products, such as alchohol for instance. A retailer's responsibility usually requires them to label their products against common misuse, such as Cabelas selling electronic turkey calls at their Pennsylvania store, a state where they are illegal to use, they have a line that states "be sure to check local ordinances before using" or they could potentially be held liable for selling them there.Agree/understand.

Kansas thought on not shooting hogs is that people releasing to shoot was as big of problem as them spreading
Kansas made it illegal to shoot/hunt wild pigs so that people wouldn't transplant them for hunting or outfitting purposes. Then they implemented helicopter hunting with state gunners. I live close to Oklahoma where there are large pig populations, and have yet to see a wild hog in KS. I know they occasionally get here, but they aren't a problem yet. This is an area of management that I think KS had done very well with.

PM sent...I believe that to be true. I wish Texas had gotten in front of this 20/30 years ago. But....being the cynic that I am, and knowing how much money is involved in Texas hunting, I have to believe that the powers that be were willing to look the other way and let the money flow. Now we have an invasion of hogs, more hogs in East Texas than deer. Some folks are unwilling to believe that, but I’ve never seen 20/25 deer at a feeder, and I’ve sure as hell seen that many hogs multiple times and different groups of that size in the same day. I shoot every one I can, even while deer hunting, but I ain’t made a dent in them.
