TPH 207: Border Patrol to Predator Control: 23 Years on the Line, Now Trapping Coyotes | H4 Predator Control
About this episode
Wade discusses predator management with the H4 Predator Control team and a retired Border Patrol agent.
This episode, Wade sits down with the team behind H4 Predator Control out of Del Rio, Texas, a father-son trapping operation now working over 85,000 acres. Joined by a retired Border Patrol agent who spent 23 years on the line before joining them full-time. The conversation covers the fundamentals of predator management: snare setting, helicopter gunning operations, fence myths, and why coyote and bobcat behavior differ so much. It also turns into a firsthand account of the 2021 Del Rio international bridge crisis, when nearly 18,000 migrants camped under the bridge and the agent's sector processed thousands of people a day.
