Hays County Feral Hog Management to include bounty program

After receiving a $7,500 grant from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Wildlife Services, Hays County will continue countywide feral hog management efforts in 2022.

The Hays County program will include a $5 bounty on feral hogs, one workshop, one webinar, a countywide survey and damage assessment and the continuation of a volunteer-led trapping effort.

“The 2022 feral hog program in Hays County has a great opportunity for sustained success as we have received both the continued funding and support to coordinate on a regional scale with projects in Caldwell County,” said Nick Dornak, Director of Watershed Services at the Meadows Center.
