Feral Hogs

According to the Central Texas Feral Hog Task Force, invasive feral swine (Sus scrofa) create extensive ecological and economic damage in our region, with Texas being home to an "estimated 2.6 million feral hogs with an impact that may exceed $500 million annually".​

The Task Force with a mission "to monitor and reduce the economic and biological impact of feral hogs to the land, water and wildlife species of Central Texas" offers educational events as well as a bounty program (subject to funding).

As shown in the Lockhart State Park photos, the significant damage caused by feral hogs cannot be missed.
