I love feral hogs. They are wonderful animals and you guys are doing a wonderful job showing to the world their beauty. These beautiful pigs just make me hungry. Your voice helps the effect of these being delcious, aromatic and lovely pigs.
I have a question. Have you ever captured a hog that had an ear tag showing it had been a domestic hog that escaped and went feral? Thank you for all your great work exterminating these pests.
Yes, but not from pigs escaping from a farm. The illegal transportation and release of feral (and domestic) pigs for recreational hunting purposes is the primary reason for our current problem. Sport hunters are directly responsible for the abrupt surge in the feral pig population.
@@rd4660 - Feral pigs are NOT native to North America which means they do not belong in the United States. There is no closed season or bag limit (except the backwards state of California) because they are a non-native, agricultural pest. Not only do we have the right to kill feral pigs in high volume numbers, but also the city, state and federal legislation behind us to legally accomplish the task. Many traditional, recreational or sport hunters confuse the CONTROL methods of an invasive species with ethical "fair chase" HUNTING methods used to manage a game species. Traditional HUNTING methods used to manage game animals (whitetail deer) producing one or two fawns per year will not CONTROL an invasive species (feral pig) producing 12-20 piglets annually. Traditional HUNTERS have the ability to harvest an unlimited number of feral pigs 365 days per year but are either unwilling or incapable of population CONTROL. Only high-volume methods and technologies are able to control pest populations. Feral pig sounders are removed for the same reason as termite swarms and rat colonies.
@@juanaboynkin1196 - Absolutely! Professionals who exterminate feral pigs are called Hog Control Operators. Professionals who exterminate rats, cockroaches and termites are called Pest Control Operators. Neither task is hunting related.
Always good to see a new JP video, buddy! You do it best. I did learn something from those crazy Texas riflemen who chase hogs with 'jeeps' at night. The hogs always run Towards the headlights of the moving vehicle and a lot of times get run over instead of getting shot. Strange behavior in vast wide open flat fields....the hogs and the hunters, haha.
Thanks for the comment. Rod has 5TB of video after removing 600+ feral pigs from our Flint River Project. We will be posting weekly content again very soon.
The only issue I see is the need to be attentive on closing the trap gate any time depending on when the hogs are inside. So, if the hogs arrive at 3:00 AM, and you guys are sleeping, the hogs could come in, collect feed, and then be on their way. I think this might be solved at some point in the future with an AI program that could learn to assess the trap and drop the gate depending on how many hogs it was programmed for. This would free up a human's time not to have to monitor it. That would be a real productivity boost.
You are correct. Trappers who over bait and use traditional trapping methods allow pigs to feed around the clock. However, pigs are the 4th most intelligent animal on the planet. We use their intelligence (along with the digital timer on the spin-cast feeder) to train them to feed at dusk. The disclaimer at the beginning of the video states we do not share Step #2 of our Capture Success Matrix on RUclips. This is our intellectual property and a science-based approach to systematically condition feral pigs to arrive at dusk. Rod Pinkston captured 600+ pigs from the Flint River Project using this process and captured every sounder within an hour of dusk. He also ran one permanent trap (like our competitors mindset) as a research control and captured pigs at all different hours of the day and night. We are using these research results to launch a “Hog Control Academy” to train and certify professional Hog Control Operators how to achieve whole-sounder capture results within an hour of darkness. Only paid subscribers of the “Hog Control Academy” will be able to view the full-length (15-20 minute) training videos to observe how the science-based process changes sounder behavior within three to four days and creates a sense of urgency to arrive early. We will still upload a shorter five-minute video for RUclips subscribers weekly without the Step #2 behavior modification training. These videos will demonstrate how one 56-year-old trapper removed the entire feral pig population from a 5,000-acre property from 70 miles away working only on weekends. If Rod’s old ass can perform this task from 70 miles away, there should be no excuses for younger professionals to accomplish the same results in their home county.
Question: Do other sounders or single animals avoid an area after you have performed a capture because of the smell of blood for some time, or do they enter the area if food present despite the smell of blood?
They don’t care about the smell of blood. I hunt pigs in New Zealand and can tell you firsthand, that they don’t give a damn about the smell of blood. Also doesn’t hurt that it’s raining there either. I hope he managed to get the second mob.
Some trappers falsely believe killing pigs inside a trap enclosure prohibits other pigs from using the trap. We shoot pigs inside the trap with a .22 caliber suppressed rifle and subsonic 45-grain bullets immediately after they are captured. This practice prevents distressed vocalizations to any other sounders on the property which eliminates method education about the M.I.N.E.™ Trapping process. This also prevents pigs from urinating and defecating inside the trap all night and soiling the enclosure for future captures. Blood inside the trap enclosure does not affect new sounders from feeding.
I used to think mass hunting was the only solution to hogs in the US. Now I see that aggressive hunting will only push them into suburbs and other property that's ill suited to hunting. Juvenile hogs will also never be eliminated by traditional hunting. I wish live captures for food processing were easier though.
could please add a male/female head count?? would show how big a dent you are making in future populations. more juvanile females removed means fewer future litters born.
Can't say enough good things about Jager Pro. There are youtube channels bragging about their captures where they used a closer trap that is not tall enough to prevent the hogs from jumping out, and also they wait till the next morning to euthanize the hogs. Both fatal mistakes, but they brag about their miserable failures as if successes!
Yes, but we also removed 771 pigs from a 5,000-acre property located 70 miles away from our office. This demonstrates the lack of trained and certified (private industry) hog control professionals available to perform whole sounder success to private landowners. Our sister company (Hog Control Academy) trains PEOPLE (Hog Control Operators) the PROCESS (Best Management Practices) of achieving whole sounder success to eliminate feral pig populations from cities, counties and Soil & Water Conservation Districts. Our curriculum is currently being evaluated by the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) so the Hog Control Academy will be able to train and certify Hog Control Operators across the United States.
I use the Pig Brig. A fraction of the cost of anything JagerPro sells and just as effective if not more so. I've caught a whole sounder in mine before.
Hmmm... yet you display no feral pig content on your channel while posting a malicious comment that cannot be proven. Sounds like a TROLL just wanting their illogical voice to be heard. JAGER PRO has demonstrated more whole-sounder captures on video than all our competitors, government agencies and academic institutions combined. We have led this industry for 17 years and are not bothered by your inflammatory post. Nice try!

Hell yeah this guys voice is the best. He should always be the narrator
This is a very popular opinion! We hear this often.

Illegal hunting is not sport hunting. Please make that distinction clear to your viewers.

The professionals are not hunters. They are exterminators.

Wow!!! Again 100%. I learn so much from you in every video. I really enjoy and appreciate your work. God bless you!!!
Thank you Felix! We appreciate your continued support.

@@JAGERPRO Not surprised, considering they're cannibalistic. Truly wretched creatures. Thank you for what you do!
a hog will eat another hog if it doesn't fight back, the smell of blood might even attract them to be honest.

Great Job. 🐷🇺🇸
What happened with the patreon? Is it still available?
Very efficient operation.
What happens to the pigs, can they be lrocessed as food or do you have to bury them
We process what we can and donate it and the rest are buried.
Salam jumpa dan jumpa
Kita hadir nonton video bagus
Terima kasih dan selamat datang ke saluran kami.
So funny to see all hogs going over the log and only the last piglet going under the log
It is one of our favorite parts of the video!
Bom trabalho... Excelente 👌👌👌
Obrigado, muito apreciado.

Hi. You are really cool
Thank you, much appreciated!
Did you just say you guys drove 45 miles to the trapped hogs? Isn't that a bit far away?

don' t feel sorry for the pigs. They are the most destructive invasive animal you can imagine.
Correct, and they are not native to this country.
南無阿彌陀佛
Why don’t you sell them as pets?
First
We always strive to be first in innovative trapping and eliminating methods.
This so freking cruel
