Coyote Control and Hog Trapping for Comfort, TX Sheep, Goat, and Game Ranches

Ranches around Comfort still run goats, sheep, cattle, and game, and coyotes know when kids, lambs, and fawns hit the ground. Hogs add their own damage along the creek bottoms. We time predator control to your birthing seasons and trap hogs where they come off the water.

KENDALL COUNTY RANCH LAND

Where Cypress Creek Meets the Guadalupe

Comfort was settled in the 1850s where Cypress Creek joins the Guadalupe, and Kendall County's ranches made their living on sheep and later Angora goats for mohair. Small stock is still common here, alongside cattle and game ranches running whitetail and exotics such as axis deer. The cypress-lined creek and river banks give coyotes and hogs protected travel routes through that ranch country. Coyotes use them to reach pastures with young stock, and hogs use them to reach water, wallows, and feeders.

OUR SERVICES

Protecting Kids, Lambs, Fawns, and Pasture

Most Comfort ranches need predator control first and hog work second, and both go better when they are planned around the ranch's calendar. On ranches in the Managed Lands Deer Program, we also help complete the harvest.

COYOTE TRAPPING AND CALLING THROUGH KIDDING AND LAMBING

Throat bites, scattered remains, and stock bunched in one corner mean a coyote is working the place. We start before birthing season and stay on it through the weeks young stock is most at risk.

HOG TRAPPING IN CREEK AND RIVER BOTTOMS

Rooted banks, wallows, and damaged feeders show where hogs come off the water. We trap the whole sounder there.

FIREARMS

SUPPRESSED RIFLES WHEN TRAPPING IS NOT ENOUGH

Some coyotes learn to avoid traps. Suppressed rifles remove them without alerting the rest of the pack.

OPTICS

NIGHT CALLING WITHOUT EDUCATING THE PACK

Thermal optics and careful electronic calling help us find coyotes at night while avoiding the mistakes that teach them to ignore calls.

TRAPPING

STEEL TRAPS SET SO SMALL DETAILS DO NOT GIVE THEM AWAY

Scent control and careful placement along travel lines matter more with coyotes than almost any other animal.

​WHY TXWML

A Predator Program Pays Off Before You Find a Loss

Coyotes do not have to kill an animal to cost you. Their steady presence stresses livestock and can hurt production. Starting control before birthing season, and keeping it going, protects the herd before the first carcass turns up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Comfort Ranch Questions

REQUEST COMFORT COYOTE CONTROL
  • Ideally a few weeks before young stock arrive, so the coyotes already working your place are removed first.

  • Bites to the throat, feeding that begins at the hindquarters, and remains scattered across an area are common signs.

  • Trap sites and methods are chosen around where your animals are, and we discuss dogs and stock before setting anything.

  • Yes. Hogs eat feed meant for deer and can damage feeders. Removing them leaves more for your game.

  • Yes. Methods and timing are planned around your exotics and your hunting schedule.

  • The Managed Lands Deer Program covers native deer. Exotics are managed separately.

  • Yes. Many ranches keep control going through birthing season rather than doing a single visit.

  • Your acreage, what stock and game you run, when birthing starts, and any losses or tracks you have found.
