Bergheim, TX Hog Trapping and Coyote Control for Cedar Country Ranches

Around Bergheim, dense cedar gives hogs and coyotes cover right up to the fence line, and the same crossings get used night after night. We find those crossings, trap the hogs that use them, and control the predators moving through the brush.

CEDAR COUNTRY

A Community Built on Cedar and Fence Posts

Bergheim grew up at Highway 46 and FM 3351 in eastern Kendall County on cedar cutting, and its store once supplied the fence posts and feed that kept local ranches running. The cedar is still thick, giving hogs and coyotes daytime cover between pastures. What has changed is the corridor: Bergheim went from a few dozen residents in 1990 to more than a thousand by 2010, and ranches have been split into homesites since. New owners often inherit land with hog routes that were established long before they arrived.

OUR SERVICES

Working the Wire and the Brush

In cedar country, the fence line tells you most of what you need to know about who is coming onto the property and where.

TRAPPING HOGS AT THEIR FAVORITE CROSSINGS

Pushed-up wire, worn trails, and hair caught on the fence mark the spots a sounder uses most. That is where we trap.

COYOTE CONTROL THROUGH CEDAR COVER

Cedar lets coyotes travel close to pens and homes without being seen. Tracks at the brush line and losses of poultry or young stock are the usual signs.

CAMERAS AND THERMALS ON THE CROSSING

LIVE-FEED GATES DROPPED WHEN THE WHOLE SOUNDER IS IN

A live-video camera lets us drop the gate remotely only when every hog in the group is inside.

​WHY TXWML

New Owners Inherit the Old Hog Routes

If you recently bought a piece of a split ranch near Bergheim, the hogs on it were probably using that land long before the sale. We help you learn where they come in, remove the group, and keep the crossing from becoming a problem again.

​

Kevin Luce owns the company and has hunted and trapped Texas wildlife for more than 30 years. You speak with him directly, and he handles the work himself.
