The Georgia Senate passed a bill unanimously Friday that allows for the capture and kill of feral hogs without a license.
ATLANTA — The Georgia Senate on Friday passed a bill making it legal to trap and kill feral hogs, sending it to Governor Brian Kemp to be signed into law.
HB 946 passed on a unanimous 46-0 vote. It amends Georgia hunting laws relating to the trapping of feral hogs, which currently must be done with a license. This bill will make it possible to trap feral hogs without a license — though only if they are killed upon capture.
The current statute states: “It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt, fish, trap, or possess any wildlife or feral hog without first procuring all of the licenses, stamps, or permits required or authorized under this title.”
HB 946 adds a clause there that says, “provided, however, that persons may trap feral hogs without a hunting or trapping license, provided that such hogs shall be killed upon capture.”
The Georgia Department of Agriculture considers feral hogs an invasive species (a distinction also held by the USDA), and notes that they cause “millions of dollars in damages to agriculture.”
The bill passed by the Georgia General Assembly also “allows for hunting feral hogs from motor vehicles on private property and the use of unmanned aircraft systems in certain circumstances,” the Georgia Senate Press Office said.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
