Hog Trapping and Coyote Control on River-Bottom Land in Center Point, Texas

The bottomland along the Guadalupe and Verde Creek is some of the best farm and pasture ground in Kerr County, which is exactly why hogs keep coming back to it. We trap whole sounders before they learn to avoid traps, and we control the coyotes working calving pasture.

KERR COUNTY FARM GROUND

Farm Ground Along the Guadalupe and Verde Creek

Center Point sits on the Guadalupe about eight miles southeast of Kerrville, and it has been a farming and stock-raising community since the 1850s, home to the county's livestock fair from 1898. The soft, productive bottomland that made it good farm country also draws hogs, which root pasture, hay ground, and food plots and wallow along the creek. Brushy creek edges give them cover between feeding runs. Since the July 2025 flooding on the Guadalupe, some landowners have also dealt with damaged fences and changed river-bottom ground, which can open new routes for hogs.

What Center Point Landowners Need Most

On bottomland farms and ranches, hogs do most of the damage, while coyotes become the concern when calves are on the ground.

WHOLE-SOUNDER HOG TRAPPING ON BOTTOMLAND

Rooted pasture, torn-up hay ground, and wallows near the creek mean a sounder is feeding on your place. We catch the full group so the survivors do not learn to avoid traps.

COYOTE CONTROL AROUND CALVING PASTURE

Coyotes target newborn calves and weak stock. Tracks near calving areas and cows that will not settle are signs to report early.

OPTICS

COUNTING THE GROUP BEFORE THE GATE DROPS

Cameras and thermal scouting tell us how many hogs are in the sounder, so we know when every one is inside the trap.

​WHY TXWML

Partial Catches Teach Hogs to Avoid Traps

Catching two or three hogs from a larger group often makes the problem harder, because the ones that got away learn to stay out of traps. Waiting until the whole sounder is inside is slower at first, but it is what actually clears a field.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions From Center Point Farms and Ranches

REQUEST CENTER POINT HOG TRAPPING

  • Soft, moist bottomland is easy rooting and close to water and cover. Once hogs find it, they return until the group is removed.

  • Usually not. Removing a few scatters the rest and makes them warier. Catching the whole sounder works better.

  • Yes. Trap sites are chosen so cattle cannot get in and the hogs' route is still covered.

  • Coyotes can take newborn and weak calves, especially during calving season.

  • We can trap hogs using the new gaps. Call to talk through what else your property needs.

  • Cameras show us the size of the sounder before the trap closes, and we keep watching for fresh sign afterward.

  • Yes. We cover ranch land up and down this stretch of the Guadalupe.

  • Your acreage, what you grow or graze, where the damage is, and any camera footage.
