However, shooting a gun in the boundaries of The Villages is illegal. Just imagine driving in your golf cart and some bozo is in his front yard shooting at a pig!

The trapping on your property is legal but then you have an angry wild pig trapped. You cannot legally shoot it and certainly cannot release it.

If you did kill and butcher the pig - which is doubtful - the meat of wild pigs almost certainly contains the trichinosis worm cysts. Yum!
No discharging firearms inThe Villages. What statute would the be?
