Snaring Feral Hogs

Feral hog populations in the Plum Creek Watershed and elsewhere across Texas appear to be growing, and impacts on agriculture, wildlife habitat, and water quality often accompany a local increase in hog numbers. Effective management of these animals demands a diverse set of approaches to reduce their numbers and impacts. While some techniques aim to capture multiple feral hogs, these often require more materials and can be more difficult to construct and transport. For situations where capturing a small number of animals inexpensively and with little maintenance is desirable, the use of snares can be a key component of a larger control strategy.
