I've already tried in the past to get hunting/depredation permission and the Santa Clara Co. P&R won't let you do it unless you are a licensed and bonded Large Animal Exterminator or something like that. Then you have to incenerate the carcasses and show proof of proper disposal. Ain't Liability insurance a wonderful thing...NOT!!!!!!!!!
People are hungry on the streets at Christmas, we have an over-abundance of quality meat on the hoof, and some idiot(s) decide "No, we can't do that because someone might sue if they get sick." (read also, not said, but inferred: "...might sue if they get hurt by a stray arrow or bullet.") I'd happily join Hunters for Hunger if I knew where to find a chapter and thought I could whack a pig for me and a pig for them each year.
Tight lines,
