Thank you for inquiring about Texas Boars Unlimited. The wild hog population is on the rise and hunting alone will not keep the numbers in check. We have been trapping wild hogs in Throckmorton, Stephens and Young counties for over 20 years and decided to incorporate a buyers station in Woodson, for Throckmorton County and the surrounding counties. We started trapping in
wheat fields were they were destroying farmer's crops. Now they are
everywhere. We believe trapping is the only way to keep them under
control.
Due to the high fuel prices and having to drive at least
50 miles to sell our trapped hogs, we have decided to open a buying station in
our area to make it more convenient for hunters and trappers in our
area. It is not feasible to drive these distances if you just have a few
head. If you have to hold them for a few days to get a few extra head to
haul off that too costs money because of corn prices. If we can cut down
our fuel cost and feed cost, it will be more money in our
pockets.
