Commissioners approve feral hog grant application; county to continue contracted abatement

Aug 12, 2024

The court approved a Texas Wildlife Services feral hog grant application (item 1L1). County staff said grants of $5,000 to $20,000 would help offset costs and the trapping/disposal is handled by a contracted service; the court voted 4–0.

The presiding judge brought forward item 1L1, a grant application to Texas Wildlife Services for a feral hog abatement program, and asked operational questions about funding and who would operate traps. The judge said the program "would provide from 5,000 up to 20,000, at the discretion of the state" and asked whether a smaller award would still be useful.
