And that doesn’t count the havoc they wreak on golf courses, airports, school yards, lawns and other nonagricultural property.Bubba Ortiz baits one of his hog traps.Tom and Judy Myers, who own a 400-acre farm in Comal County, have been relying on Ortiz to remove feral hogs from their land for more than seven years. The first year, they say, he removed 140 pigs.
“They’re doing the best with what they have,” he said. “Unfortunately, when they do that, they destroy crops, overturn fields, contaminate ponds and strip resources from the land. I don’t hate them, but they do need to be controlled.” Back in 2014 Ortiz removed between 100 and 200 hogs living along Salado Creek near the San Antonio airport, and he’s currently trapping several dozen in the park areas surrounding Stinson, Machemehl said.
