Caldwell County will pay hunters $5 for each feral hog taken from now until August 7. Hunters may claim the county’s 2019 feral hog bounties only on the first Wednesday of each month until the deadline. During that period, hog hunters can bring in feral hog tails and/or certified buying station receipts to Smith Supply Co., 1830 Colorado Street, Lockhart, between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Tails and/or receipts must be from feral hogs killed in Caldwell County. Participants must complete a W-9 form and a participation form. These can be obtained at Smith Supply, or from the Central Texas Feral Hog Task Force website. The property owner’s name and contact information where the hogs were killed are required on the form. Guadalupe County’s bounty program will also pay $5, and runs through September 30, 2019. Brandon Ray photo
