We caught another 38 hogs today, the heaviest was 250 pounds. The pig population is totally out of control here on the island of Oahu, The Prig Brig has helped me keep labor costs low by capturing many hogs at once, it's remarkable. Thank you Pig Brig!
We had to build one out of lava rock and heavy gauge wire up Akolea on Hilo side. After we learned the pigs can climb walls like spiders we had to raise its height to over 8 feet before we were able to keep them in. They would often obliterate their faces and appendages trying to get out. Not ideal. If the Pig Brig was invented circa 2003, we surely would have spent the money. The rock and wire cage was so labor intensive and took ages to build and maintain. Also, can’t really move it.
if you could expand this to enclose a large area the animals could run around with no distraught calls warning others away. with some planning you could set things up so after in trap they will be funneled to pens outside trap
To be honest I’m surprised that anything purchased in today’s marketplace actually held up that well! Congrats on getting them hogtied and to market! 😉
This trap, while the method is akin to a lobster trap, is absolutely genius, and really a superior option to the drop traps. It’s essentially open for business in perpetuity vs a drop trap where you have a single opportunity to trap. It’s fascinating, and absolutely terrifying to them, to witness when they start to realize there’s no way out. Really a perfect model, as it’s constitutes a continuous working trap. Happy trapping!!!
No kidding !? Well, I still quote some of his lines in a horribly butchered accent to this day. And as the saying goes, as long as we remember someone, they are never really gone.
@@debbypurcell6215 Yes, but the male pigs don't taste good due to 'boar taint' which is why non-breeding pigs in captivity are always neutered. So essentially half the pigs can be delicious.
I used to trap wild boar in Louisiana for the NPS we used data enabled cameras and cell triggered heavy steel gates and lugged hog panels all over the place. This is so slick! If they can't chew through the net then I say it's worth every red cent! Thanks for the Star Trek references.
Loved the video! Thanks for posting. I think once you don’t see any more pigs on the outside and think you have all of them inside, that’s when you need to go dispatch the hogs. The earlier you do, the longer your net is going to last. All those hoofs stomping on it, and them chewing on the net, can’t be a good thing for the longevity of the net.
I believe man and wife, (oh can I say that any more") that created the Pig Brig has put a bunch of research on the net material. You will inevitably have to patch a hole here and there, but we're yet to see exactly what the longevity is. I hope many years.
Due to the way FDA Laws and regs work, it's unlikely they could sell any meat from them in an official capacity, they would just need to "gift" it to friends and family. The males are also unlikely to be used due to the fowl taste unfixed males have
That is really some improvement on metal fence traps! No dropping gate required.They could all escape if one held the edge of the net up,and let his pals out,but fortunately,they aren't bright enough for that,and just poke at the net while standing on it.
I am a little surprised that they don't ever seem to think of the easy way to escape, given how intelligent they are said to be. Maybe not quite so bright, after all.
Well to be fair any critter that manages to get in there with wild pigs is probably toast befor you can check on the trap. wild boar are nasty buggers when riled up.
@@rob7566 why is that funny? legit question. do you use a .22 with subsonic rounds and just pop them all? back up and truck and herd them into it? i got no clue.
I’m glad the trap worked, but it seems odd to me that with their instinctual “nosing” around wouldn’t have them finding a way to lift the net and escape. Also, did they start getting agitated before the food ran out, or only once it was gone? And finally, how did you dispatch of them once they were trapped?
1. They can't get out because the trap's net extends further inwards on the ground, making a ground circle around the center. They're standing on the net trying to nose the ground. They could get out if they figured to nose the ground further from the 'walls' of the net, but every other hog needs to get off the net as well, that ain't happening. 2. When one is full and start wanting to walk away, all it takes is one to sound the alert. 2. How to dispatch an animal in the US? Take a guess.
It is such a simple idea. Maybe we fell in love with the techy idea of trapping pigs by remote control on our phones and forgot how simple it could be. Either way, brilliant.
Those pigs look just like the piglets the neighbor has. They were lucky to have the potbelly female with them that day. We know we have boars/feral pigs around us, a few got hit on the highway about 3 miles from our home. Looked like the ones still outside were piglets.
Poke the barrel through the netting. If you miss, it’s HIGHLY unlikely that your bullet will hit the net on the other side. I would definitely recommend using a stout piece of plywood as a shield and stand behind one of the pickets (maybe set two close together when setting it up)when approaching the brig to shoot.
Whoever invented that trap is making money hand over fist...and they deserve every cent. I don't believe pigs have become a problem in Illinois (at least, not yet), but the fact that they've proliferated in the warmer parts of the country is worrisome.
Loved the part where you put in scotty slowly creeping on screen, with he caption, shields still holding. This trap worked really well, I was worried the ones outside might lift up the "shield" and some would get out, but they never did.
Have you ever climbed in one of those nets as a kid in a ball pit or something? They're incredibly exhausting to get out of. You have to reign in your fear instinct at being trapped and think about the most efficient way of getting out. These hogs ain't near smart enough for that. 8 year old me wasn't either, but that's a side the point.
What is it that keeps the hogs from getting back under the soft wall they could crawl under and into the circle ? does their own weight on the netting keep it from happening ?
They would need to step back away from the walls and carefully work their way under the net from the middle. But they'd also need every other hog to get out of the way since the rest of them standing on the net would hold it down. Basically impossible, their panic has them standing on the net themselves with no ability to step back and calmly work at it from a less immediate angle.
The young ones if brined and smoke slowly are extremely tasty. In my second video I gave a short description of how I cook it and the next one I cook I’ll go into more detail
Great question. As long as they're not old, they're not bad at all. I love a young sow pork tenderloins!!! They really are bad for the environment and every one of them needs eradication.
Better than store bought . Really good tasting and no additives or excess fat from additive laced food farmers feed domestic pigs. Clean lean pig meat.

What’s your preferences on dispatch method?
Smith and Wesson
Arnold from Green Acres would have never fallen for that.
I've been on sponsored hog hunts to help limit the population expansion, never tried traps but everything helps, they are out of control
How did you dispatch them without shooting holes through your net, step ladder or something like that to get above them?
Poke the barrel through the netting. If you miss, it’s HIGHLY unlikely that your bullet will hit the net on the other side.
