I received a call a few weeks ago from a woman in Homosassa Florida complaining about a wild hog rutting up her lawn and ask me if I could help. I told her about all I could do is shoot the hog and she said that would be fine with her.
This neighborhood has homes on 2 1/2 to 15 acre lots. I spoke to a local police officer who said shooting in a subdivision was not aloud. Someone could complain and the police would investigate and I may or may not be in trouble. But I could use a crossbow to kill the hog or use a trap. This rather vague to me.
I checked into this only to find a new Florida law that says back yard shooting is prohibited where homes are one per acre or closer. That's a big difference from 2 1/2 to 15 acres per house. Where I live we cannot shoot inside of a city limit, and within 200 yards from a building, pretty simple.
Where can I check into this?. Should I check with the local sheriff?
Thanks, Jim
