At 2M Outdoors, our mission is to assist landowners in effectively managing feral hog populations and minimizing depredation threats to livestock, pets, and property. Feral hogs and predators can cause extensive damage to land, crops, fencing, and wildlife habitats, while also posing a serious risk to domestic animals. We are committed to providing professional and reliable control services that help protect both property and livestock.
Using top-of-the-line thermal optics, suppressors, and rifles, we are able to operate safely and efficiently in both day and nighttime conditions. Our advanced equipment allows us to accurately identify and target problem animals while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and effectiveness in the field. At 2M Outdoors, we take pride in helping landowners protect their investments and preserve the land for future generations through responsible wildlife and depredation management.
In Texas, feral hogs and predators create major problems for ranchers, farmers, wildlife populations, and property owners. Their impact affects agriculture, native ecosystems, livestock operations, and public safety.
Feral hogs destroy:
Crops such as corn, hay, rice, wheat, and peanuts
Pastures and grazing land through rooting
Fences, irrigation systems, feeders, and water lines
Their rooting behavior tears up large sections of land overnight, costing landowners thousands of dollars in repairs and lost production.
Feral hogs:
Destroy native vegetation
Cause erosion around creeks and ponds
Damage wetlands and wildlife habitats
Reduce water quality by muddying tanks and streams
They also compete with native wildlife like deer and turkey for food sources.
Hogs prey on:
Ground-nesting birds
Deer fawns
Reptiles and amphibians
Eggs from native species
This negatively affects wildlife populations and conservation efforts.
Feral hogs can carry diseases and parasites harmful to:
Livestock
Pets
Humans
Native wildlife
Examples include brucellosis, pseudorabies, and leptospirosis.
Texas has one of the largest feral hog populations in the country because hogs reproduce extremely fast, making control difficult.
Common predators in Texas include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and occasionally feral dogs.
Predators can kill:
Calves
Goats
Sheep
Poultry
Deer fawns
Coyotes are especially known for targeting newborn livestock during calving and lambing seasons.
Predators may reduce populations of:
Quail
Turkey
Deer fawns
Small game animals
This can affect hunting opportunities and wildlife management goals.
Landowners may face:
Financial losses from dead livestock
Veterinary costs for injured animals
Increased fencing and protection expenses
