Now that deer season is over, is it still legal to go bowhunt pigs on WMA's? Tensas NWR specifically.

Bowhunted all season on the refuge, and saw close to 20 hogs while doing so. I want to go back and scout and stick pigs...legally.

You can only hunt hogs with a weapon that is legal for an open season.

I see. So squirrel hunters could still pop off with a .22?

Is it legal to bowhunt squirrels? What about yotes? Another option would be the largest shot size they allow for shooting small game (Lead BB I think although it might be Lead B).

you can not shoot a pig with a whatever squirrel gun you are squirrel hunting with, during February. All orher months that season is open, you can shoot with whatever weapon is legal. Not Febuary though.

Just read pamphlet. No feral hogs may be harvested during feb squirrel season

Where did you see this exception, only for Tenses? Took one with my bow Tuesday while deer scouting (in an area that is still open for deer) but wanted to go back next week with the 17.

Where it says 2016-2017 hunting seasons. Very bottom under incidental species. Now that I reread it, it says NO incidental species in February, coyote, beaver, skunk, opossum, feral hog.

It's in the Tensas Hunting Brochure, not in the LA hunting regs.

Tensas Regulations Brochure - Page 4 under "Incidental Species"
