Winston County High School Agri-Science Class Builds Feral Hog Trap Door

Winston County High School Agri-Science students built this "Poor Man's Hog Trap Door" from plans in an Alabama Cooperative Extension System publication.  The trap will be loaned out to a local landowner that is currently having extensive damage to his property due to feral hogs.  The rest of the trap will be constructed of cattle panels that the landowner will provide.  This feral hog control demonstration is made possible by a partnership between the Winston County Natural Resources Council, the Winston County Extension Office, the Winston County Commission, and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.  The students worked under the direction of Mr. Byron Tuggle, Agri-Science Instructor at WCHS.  Pictured from left to right are Stephen Nix, Ben Mitchell, Jacob Terry, Jarrett Daniel, Mason Franks, Kameron Young, Adrian Blancas, Michael Avery, and J.
