SEGUIN — The Geronimo and Alligator Creeks Watershed Partnership will present a Feral Hog Workshop Aug. 10 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office for Guadalupe County, 210 E. Live Oak St., Seguin.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the program from 9 a.m.-noon.

The workshop is free and attendees will learn about the latest feral hog management techniques in addition to the ongoing bounty program.

Three Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units will be available for pesticide applicators.

At least eight $500 vouchers will be awarded in the drawing that winners will use to purchase feral hog trapping supplies from local retailers.

The Guadalupe County bounty program began July 16 and will run through Aug. 23. All tails and forms must be submitted by that date. During this period, individuals can bring in feral hog tails and/or certified buying station receipts to the AgriLife Extension office for Guadalupe County on Tuesdays and Thursdays during regular business hours.

Tails and/or receipts must be from feral hogs harvested in Guadalupe County. Participants will be required to complete a participation form and a W-9. The property owner’s name and contact information where the hogs were harvested are required on the form. A copy of the form can be obtained at http://www.feralhogtaskforce.com/guadalupe.html. Forms will be submitted to the Guadalupe County Auditor’s Office in a timely matter for payment.
