WILD HOG LAW
KILLED: News dispatches from Montgomery Wednesday state that Representative
Forrest Castleberry’s proposed law to restrict the hunting of wild hogs to the
month of December was “buried under a flood of ‘no’ votes.”
Many of us
here in Conecuh County did not know there were any wild hogs in the county and
furthermore, we had no idea in the event there were some, that anybody would
object to them being hunted any time and captured. However, Mr. Castleberry
stated that he was very urgently requested to secure the passage of the bill by
some good citizens, who told him that those who posed as hunters of wild hogs
sometimes got mixed up and caught tame ones.
Well at any
rate, members of the house did not feel that it was necessary to enact Mr.
Castleberry’s bill, so we still have an unrestricted season on wild hogs.
Better be sure you know your hogs though and not hunt the domesticated kind,
else you might run afoul of laws which already exist.
F.F.A. NEWS: The Evergreen
Chapter of F.F.A. attended the Andalusia District Basketball Tournament Sat.,
