AUSTIN COUNTY FERAL HOG BOUNTY IS STILL ON

  

The Austin County Feral Hog Bounty is still going on!

The Bounty program is offered with the support of the Austin County Commissioners Court.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Agent Stacie Villarreal said that participants will be awarded $5 per feral hog harvested in Austin County, with biological evidence in the form of a pair of feral hog ears.

Each pair must be placed in an individually sealed bag and dropped off at 1 of the 3 drop off locations.

Three local feed stores in the county - Steinhauser's in Sealy, Linseisen’s Feed & Supply in Bellville, and Lindemann Store in Industry, will serve as the drop off locations.

A limit of 20 pairs per household per month is allowed.

All feral hogs must be harvested in Austin County & signed paperwork must be completed when dropping off the ears to collect the bounty.
