EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i was just wonderin how yall charge to remove hog for somebody ? do ya charge by the hog or what ?

I have never charged anything for 20 years.  I do it because it's fun.

and theres always some one that will do it for free ;D

not here its all new and tearin up big $ golf courses they pay guys to ride around in golf carts with dogs to keep geese off fairways

weres this at

ny and nj

 I kinda did the same thing for golf courses in California as a kid but I was running the wild turkeys off for fishing rights tothe lakes and ponds there. When you start charging for things it turns into a job.

have always done it just to have the rights to hunt there thats always been pay enough

well here its all about the $ these people think there is somethink wrong if you dont charge , they wont give ya rights for nothin, all they know is customers pay $80 - $150,000 a yr membership to golf and thats it

You know it  ;)  ;D

We don't charge, but do tell them that tips are welcomed.  Farmers do buy us dog food sometimes and we barter services too.  It's all about the fun with the dogs and watching them work. 

yeah but if i dont come up with a $ amount they wont go for it you guys dont know these kind of people they think their in a world of their own one of the golf courses belongs to the DONALD trump

well if they just got to pay ya then get what ya can

Charge em by the pound, $1 a pound. Ive never charged either but if it's a must it's a must. Sounds like u can set your own price.

good luck getting paid to "romove" hogs in Texas. you will come a whole lot nearer paying to hunt.

Saw on the web a guy in Florida charging $85 a hog I think it was.

he cant be makin any money..  the "economic boom" put most of us Fl boys outta places to go..  So theres litterally hundreds of guys (me included) who would do it for free.  Id ask the golf course to make a charitable donation to an organization like the TDHA or LSWDA as payment. or set a price.. up to you

It doesn't matter that there are hundreds of people that would do it for free. All of those high end places want a price.

I know a few people that have some pretty big contracts, one with the audobon society and another with south florida water management, they make damn good money trapping and catching hogs.

tell them you work by the hour lol

sfboarbuster im glad you know what im talkin about

I wouldn't have any problem charging big money to some people in ny or nj. I would tell them $100 a hog. That is nothing to those people when one hog goes and does 5,000 in damage in one night.

thats right thanks buddy

hey yall just found this on the web united wildlife control statewide get this their rates $150- 250 site inspection up to 1/2 hr then to do job $150 to show up per man then after 30 min its $2 min or $120 per man per hr , then its $150 per trap plus materials then  to remove an animal from a trap starts at $125 each and people are paying this WOW yall should be rich

my uncle gets 20 a pig trapping them

I charge a flat rate to run my dogs per month plus per hog.  I have contracts written if you need any other information.  My email is brian.helm@greatwide.com

Charge what you think is fair are you doing this full time or part time, Do you have to carry INS on youa nd the dogs is this a bis or just for fun, You have to thin about all of this, When you get paid to play they expect to see the end product. Wish you the best of luck let us know how you do.
