Hunters get your guns -- Hays and Caldwell counties are more than doubling the bounty on feral hogs.There are more than 2.6 million feral hogs in Texas, and hog hunter Bubba Ortiz says the issue is getting out of control.Last year, Ortiz removed 469 hogs from within the city of San Antonio.He says, They're in neighborhoods now, Georgetown has a problem, Round Rock has a problem, Austin's outer areas have a problem, San Antonio has an inner city problem now and if nothing is done about it, it's going to grow and get worse.Ortiz says they reproduce at a rapid rate and they have no real predator since they're not native to this area.They destroy everything, they destroy plants, they'll destroy animals, they'll destroy crops. They'll destroy water, says Ortiz.This year, the Caldwell County Feral Hog task force is stepping up efforts to cut down the feral hog population.Nick Dornak, the Plum Creek Watershed Coordinator, says, You can start holding on to those pig tails now and you can start to collect up to $5 per tail this year or we take receipts from a certified holding facility, those are the hogs that are captured live and sold for slaughter.Along with a bounty, this year, the task force is also going to use wireless traps and aerial control. Aerial control actually involves trained marksmen shooting feral hogs from helicopters.While Ortiz is a supporter of the hog tail bounty program, he would rather see them put to good use.He says, There's nothing wrong with it as long as its USDA inspected and you sell it to the public and make hamburgers and bratwurst and breakfast sausage and tacos -- like I said, its free range organic pork.The Hog Bounty program begins September 1.For more information on programs, including aerial control from Texas Wildlife Services scheduled for early 2014, or to sign up for the use of a wireless trap on your property, contact the Task Force at ccfhtf@gmail.com.By Lydia Pantazes
Everyone needs to step up and do their duty by buying charcoal and lighter fluid. BBQ for everyone!
donate some to Texas Zoo, feed them to lions tigers hyena leopard panther cheetah any big cats that need some meat
Yokwity That seems like a great idea
Great idea
Wow. Great idea. Enrichment for the captive animals and they get to eat pork! A winning idea!
They reproduce so rapidly that even if you increased the bounty to $100 a hog, it would not make a difference. Once an invasive species becomes established, it is here for good. Some invasive species likes mice and rats have been eliminated from small islands, but trying to eliminate an invasive species from a large country is impossible. They can already be hunted with no bag limit, and the population is still increasing. Any hogs captured will be replaced by others. So, it's really just window dressing at this point. Best thing to do, is prevent new ones from being established.
Exactly. casiewhey.
With all due respect. With the proof of statement.
The Texas Provincial/Stare Government is more concerned about the welfare of wild pig hunters than that of nature conservation or the farmers.
Because.
I have written to. Confirmed by courier delivery. And emailed. Most senior members of the mentioned entity. Also to the people directly concerned with this pandemic. In Canada. And the USA.
Informing. That there is known to me. A dirt cheap. Low-labour input methodology. To lower numbers of this pest.
No trapping. No fire arm or air gun shooting. Raptor friendly. No collaring. No stupid birth control measures. No expensive and/or sophisticated feeding hatches. I don’t give viruses even a milli second’s thought. (Because only a REAL EFFECTIVE virus might do real harm. And what about the after effects. Such as wiping out commercial pig farmers as well?)
Processes are cost-effective. As stated. Hugely so in relation to magnitude. Which will stretch any given budget by a considerable length.
And for this I offered consultancy.
I must. In hindsight mention that there were replies from Saskatchewan and Alberta.
But from the US. Not a murmer. And. Of all the propaganda fanfare about the hog this. And hog that. That the unhindered population growth can be a figure of three. During and with severe number curtailing. Which is just not practically possible in view of the present population/numbers. The lowest available forecast. Optimistically low. Is 0,32. In actual fact confirming that the 3,6M estimated in only Texas. WILL become. At the very least 7,2M during/in 2026. Which perfectly ties in with your statement that there were only two sows in this very parcel of twenty three pigs. Grade three arithmetic.
So. The proof of this pudding. Must I regretfully state. There is no feral hog problem in Texas. And if so then. Do Provincial/State leaders and people should be concerned. All on permanent holiday. In a peaceful gondola. In Venice. They don’t give a first. Nineteenth. Or forty second ……… about the issue.
Many thanks for what you. And I imagine many other are doing to attempt to sort out the problem. Governmentless.
God bless!
the little ones are great on the grill, 25-40lbs.
Donate all the meat to a food pantry for donations to the poor.
NO give that over fatty, drugged pork at the store to the homeless and save that fresh lean meat for us!
Yep we have them here in oklahoma. Hogs know no lines on maps.
Plenty of meat for the hungry world. Their mean is lean too!
I might try to export their meat to China, India and other places.
They have been shipping wild hog meat to China and Japan for Years. They like the really stinky Boars, They think that it makes them Viral.
That actually would be Virile not Viral
Can out of staters collect the bounty too?
Send em to California
Right. Because we don't already have enough problems in this state.
Their in California to.
but yet you cant hunt them for free.. people want to charge you to hunt
$350-$400 per night
Ed Rogers
I've had people tell me that their property is over run with hogs and they've also told me that I can go there and kill as many of them that I want to kill as long as I pay them $750!!
The hog problem in Texas is richly deserved because just like everything else it has become a $$$$ issue!!
Ed Rogers i am in East Texas and had to stop letting people hunt for free because they are usually really stupid people they leave trash want close gates and think they can go anytime they want with out letting me know which leads to problems with a number of reasons fact is if you charge a fee you generally weed out the idiots
I would like to set my small hog trap some where in Arkansas, but where?
Hell yeah! I like sausage, bacon ham.
$5??? That won't cover the cost of going out after em...that paltry sum sure as hell isn't gonna increase participation. They gotta make it "attractive" enough to drive up interest...and five dollars per is ridiculous (especially, when not long ago the state I live in had a bounty of $60 per coyote tail).
Well, I could make $30 a day on my ranch near Del Rio. I wonder if they would make me prove where the animal was shot.
the dude tried to make a funny but pulled back at 1:00
How do I purchase some hogs!?!?!
Where can someone hunt for free near Austin Tx ?
Any luck?
Ya, everyone wants to charge you to hunt there property. Is there any public ground to hunt in Texas other than the rock mountains on the southwest edge of the state?
we get $8 for a fish here in oREGON
Yumm
Sounds like Texas has too many spare ribs, ham, bacon 🥓 and pork butts running around
who foots the bill for shooting out of aircraft , when the bounty is only 5 dollars a tail smfh
.... Turning them to canned ham for the food banks?......
WHAT A WASTE, SELL IT TO CHINA. ..
Automatic rifles
The feral hogs can be used for meat products--why waste that.
At what expense michaelgallien?
