Experts say eliminating feral hogs is a vital part of protecting the Central Texas environment Hays County’s $5-per-tail bounty for feral hogs in in full-swing through August 22; Caldwell County is also getting in on this. Nick Dornak, the Watershed Coordinator with Texas State University’s Meadows Center, says these non-native hogs do tons of damage to crops and lawns, and even worse, the water supply If you bag one of these hogs, Dornak says you need to freeze the tail in a ziplock bag to minimize the mess before bringing it in for that bounty.
