Hog Traps
The wild hogs we trap are a non-native species that are very destructive to the preserve habitat and the species that live here.
We have worked with Glen for about 3 years on hog control. We have tried several different types of traps built on the preserve by Glen with his materials. He is willing to work with people controling the hogs in your area. We have encountered everything from one large boar to 16 at one time, the whole litter. Our current trap is a large round one made of bull wire.Glen Penner of Wild Hog Solution's at (512)-966-0780.
