SAFETY ISSUE - Mountain Springs Ranch neighbors have reported seeing young children playing on or close to busy streets like Comal Springs. Unleashed dogs have also been seen wandering close to these roads. Although we have posted and enforced speed limits, not all drivers obey the law. Please be especially vigilant with your children and pets to avoid possible accidents.
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE UPDATE (1/16/2012) - 13 feral hogs were trapped on New Year's Eve making a total of 33 hogs trapped last year. Typically the trap is checked each day and we have a very smooth and timely process of remocvng the hogs from the trap. The hogs are handled by professionals who are trained and equpped for the job. These professionals come recommended by county and state officials.
RESIDENTS: If you see the hog trap door is down, the probability of having something in the trap is high. Please stay away from the trap. The hogs can be dangerous especially when trapped and the "mommas" are protecting their "babies." We have liability waivers signed by our professional trappers.
We respectfully ask that all owners with deer feeders, or similar contraptions, please cease and desist in feeding our wildlife. ·We are hopeful this will lure the hogs to the preserve where our hog trap is in place.
