That trap shy hog is interesting. In the city we have been trapping rats for so many years the only rats left are trap shy. It's probably best to shoot the trap shy hog at the same time you drop the gates, if possible. That way it won't make trap shy piglets.

Yeah they'll eventually all avoid the traps because of the ones that saw this and got away. I think the silent traps confuse them instead of panic. I got a feeling this trapping is going to create a super hog. I catch feral cats and if I go to a place where someone has just trapped the easy ones, it's all but impossible to trap any. I have to spend months feeding them and letting them get used to me before I can even think about getting them used to eating under a drop box type trap. It took me almost two years to finally trap one group where people have came in and trapped the easiest several times. And these are cats which are no where near as wild as these pigs.
For every group caught, does it take a couple of days for the hogs to loose suspension and for all to go in there? I would assume a lot of them, at first, don't go in, like the hog that gave that warning
That would mean using the less expensive and more effective Pig Brig trap that captures the entire sounder without warning any of them. It also does it without needing remote monitoring or triggering.
@@maxperry1635 90% of the time when we go at night to take care of them. They are blinded by the lights and are very much still for the most part. During the daylight it’s a different story.
From sophisticated hunting techniques to innovative preventive measures, it's evident that farmers and hunters are constantly adapting to confront these invasive species. This video serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of proactive conservation efforts.
My cell signal was about 3 seconds off on that particular catch when I activated it to release. It was luck that the hog on the outside grunted. That’s only happened to me once so far.
I've had one big hog hit my gate perfect in the track before and knocked it out of place, but was easily put back on track. Never lost one because of a gate malfunction. But my trap is built very strong and will catch any size that I can.
Probably has something to do with the gates being screen, instead of solid (angle, tubing, etc) - so it flexes and absorbs kinetic energy versus breaking welds.
You know most of them probably sensed danger with all that metal around them, but the food cravings and herd mentality convinced them to just ignore it.

Is there a way to either make the gate drop faster once it gets the signal or for the trap to not make such a loud noise. You would think you could reduce the noise some how

I can;t imagine the devastation to crops, but also, to all ecosystems they range through. I used to be such an animal lover, but not species like these hogs, who seem incredibly stupid too. A little free food is all you need to trap them and it's fun watching them bash their thick skulls like they are running backs into the grates. It seems that no matter how many hundreds are caught in a night, there's thousands, if not, tens of thousands more. They need to allow hunters to go at them with no limits, other than safety ones.
Hunting for fun and to get rid of pests are usually poles apart. To reduce the population of pigs at least 75% need removing annually is the equation. Hunting makes the pests warier and more difficult to remove. The examples shown here of avoiding and escapes are educational. For watchers as well as the pigs.
You hear all the complaints but you will never hear of anywhere you can hunt them for free. They want to charge $150 per hunt. I get it that no one wants idiots on their land with guns shooting up cattle, shooting each other, having the liability to deal with. Might be easier dealing with the pigs.
The thing is, they are NOT stupid. Yes, they come into the cage for grain if they have not dealt with traps, or if they have dealt with traps they have bashed their way out of. That's why they hit the walls so hard. They have learned that if they hit an average home built trap hard, they can smash through it and escape, so they aren't that afraid of them.

so impressive video. Hogs cause the damage to the farm a lot. one suggestion: i am thinking if it is a good idea that put spike wire on the fence. no need very much. just 1 rope about 2 feet above the ground to injure the hogs when they bump the fence, and 1 rope on the top of fence to prevent hogs from jumping over. thanks again for sharing your video.
Here in the Phils, it's a big bounty from heaven if we can catch a 'free' pig. Filipino 'ingenuity' can be in level in assembling the 'inclosure', there is 'no free pig to catch. Hahaha
Live spaghetti? Watching how the continually challenge the gates and rigid fence shows they will take little notice of the injuries until blood loss shock sets in, when they will probably die in slashed ribbons. So in the interests of reducing nasty injuries other ideas could be prioritised. Flexible netting for one. Keeping the social licence to trap (and hunt) is important to those needing to, and those that participate for sport/recreation. Hence not being knowingly cruel
No. My traps are activated by me using a cell phone. They are not trip wire or anything that an animal sets off. The only thing that I catch with hogs are occasional raccoon and they are able to climb out. We only target wild hogs.
The 1st lot to be caught at 5.18 keep your eye on the pig to the right hand side of the trap it's on its own but if you go back a few seconds watch how it head butts the cage that hard it knocks itself out 😂😂😂
How did the one hog know to give a warning grunt? Did some component of your equipment make a noise or light an led that tipped off the hog that issued the warning? And once those hogs started heading to the gate, why did you not abort the drop until the hogs were relaxed and feeding in the center again? If it is the best cellular hog trap made today, I would think that it wouldn't give any signals to the hogs before it was going to drop. And I would also expect it to have a quicker response and ability to abort the drop. There had to be at least 6 hogs that escaped and will now never go into a trap again because of that close call and escape.
Nothing that I did or the trap did to make the hog grunt. It was already sensing danger before I sent the signal to close the doors. Once the signal is sent, you can’t do anything but wait. It was pure luck on their part. 5 did get out and probably will never go into a trap again. The worst possible thing to happen for a landowner. Now they will have to be hunted.
The proper humane way is to use a small caliber round (.22) into the brain. This is instant to all living things. Once this is done we donate them to families for processing and they are consumed. We try not to waste any animals we harvest.
They probably could if left in the trap for long periods of time. But we try to take care of them ASAP to avoid stress on the animal and damage to trap or property.
More of these invasive species need to be gotten rid of. Here in Japan, we eat wild boar. Not everyone does, but it is a popular simmered dish. More Americans need to get a taste for wild boar. Cooked right, they are tasty!!
You had to close immediately after the grunt... Incredible: so young so suspicious... 2:08 Anyway no one has the intelligence to understand that since doors fall the only way to escape is to lift them.

@@Sherry-jx9hs we caught 23 this Saturday night "23 Rooter Hogs" that I published yesterday. All of them went to 3 different families. I only had to take the 4 biggest hogs to the boneyard. Subscribe to our channel, we do more than just hog trap even though here lately its been trapping.
Na verdade é preciso capturá-los. Mas pergunto-me, a carne deles é aproveitável? A dificuldade em capturá-los resulta da extrema sensibilidade ao perigo. Não são estúpidos como alguém disse... são sim muito inteligentes mas a armadilha é naturalmente muito eficaz desde que se tenha muita paciência. Boa sorte e boas capturas.
I do my best to catch the whole sounder at the same time. I will drop the gates once the whole sounder is in the trap. When a boar is on the outside I'm not to concerned with him (boars are bonuses). The ones that got out was a result of the boar sounding a warning (which you can hear in the video) as I had already triggered the trap. At that location, my signal had about a 3 second delay to close the gates. It was perfect timing on their part and escaped. That educated them and I was never able to get them in again. Now they have to be removed by thermal scope which is taking place by the landowner. The worst thing any trapper can do is educate a sounder of pigs, but its going to happen from time to time. This is the only group to escape for me ever (so far). Thanks for watching and I hope I was able to explain the process of whole sounder removal which requires a lot of patience when trapping.
@@TheHighlanderGirl families take the animals and have them prepared to eat. Here in my area most will process the hog themselves, but some will take them to a butcher to have it done in specific cuts of meat. Like pork chops, etc.

4:37 looks like that hog to the lower left rang his own bell when he took a flying leap into the cage and seemed iffy at best afterwards.
Yep, it did! It was acting normal when we arrived to take care of them.

Yes he gave himself a concussion. Word has it if you eat the meat of one with a concussion, you get smarter
For every group caught, does it take a couple of days for the hogs to loose suspension and for all to go in there? I would assume a lot of them, at first, don't go in, like the hog that gave that warning
It usually takes 2-3 days of conditioning for the group to all go in.

Thanks love and respect for what you are doing to eradicating these pests.

No if we can start doing this with people 🤔
Removing immediate local problem is not eradication. It may be control, or not, & it may make the problem tolerable or reduce it for some time.
If the traps could drop completely silently, I wonder if the hogs would freak out in the same way.

Hogs cause the damage to the farm a lot. one suggestion: i am thinking if it is a good idea that put spike wire on the fence. no need very much. just 1 rope about 2 feet above the ground to injure the hogs when they bump the fence, and 1 rope on the top of fence to prevent hogs from jumping over. thanks again for sharing your video.
Thanks for watching and the suggestions.
@@hollyridgehomestead . Thanks for your reply. i am not sure if my suggestion works or maybe no need the spike wire at all.
Here in the Phils, it's a big bounty from heaven if we can catch a 'free' pig. Filipino 'ingenuity' can be in level in assembling the 'inclosure', there is 'no free pig to catch. Hahaha
@@efrenjvallejo788 wished we had less pigs here. It’s pretty bad.
Live spaghetti? Watching how the continually challenge the gates and rigid fence shows they will take little notice of the injuries until blood loss shock sets in, when they will probably die in slashed ribbons. So in the interests of reducing nasty injuries other ideas could be prioritised.
Flexible netting for one.
Keeping the social licence to trap (and hunt) is important to those needing to, and those that participate for sport/recreation. Hence not being knowingly cruel
What camera are you using to record activity?
It comes with the trap. “CDS” which I believe stands for Cellular Data Solutions, but not 100% on it. You can call Bull Creek Outdoors for more info.
Them hogs be hitting the fence head on, dang
Do you catch deer and other critters like a bobcats or other varmits by accident sometimes
No. My traps are activated by me using a cell phone. They are not trip wire or anything that an animal sets off. The only thing that I catch with hogs are occasional raccoon and they are able to climb out. We only target wild hogs.
Imagine if you added " Run" to these videos 🤣 Still warning grunt saved 2 hogs.
Over what period of time did you catch this many hogs?
This was just the 1st hundred I trapped
Probably 4 months on the weekends
Very impressive , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
Thank You
Km dan
Sweeeeeeeet , Good Job,Wow to see how hard they hit the Cage with they're Snouts ,Amazing... Thumbs Up Buddy
Thank you.
4:34 that one must've injured itself when it hit the gate really hard.
It got real dizzy. When we showed up to the trap, it was back to normal.
Thanks for watching!
Anyone with a hog problem should invest in this system without thinking about it. This system is absolutely 💯 incredible 👏
Once I start homesteading I kind of hope there's a feral hog problem nearby. Then I don't have to raise/kill pets :D
Lol, but you won’t get bacon off feral hog’s and I love bacon.
Thanks for watching
Seems like there are always a few that wont come into the trap. I wonder if they have past experience and remember what happened.
Yes and they are very smart.
The 1st lot to be caught at 5.18 keep your eye on the pig to the right hand side of the trap it's on its own but if you go back a few seconds watch how it head butts the cage that hard it knocks itself out 😂😂😂
I see some crazy stuff with this trap. Wish I could show everything.
How did the one hog know to give a warning grunt? Did some component of your equipment make a noise or light an led that tipped off the hog that issued the warning? And once those hogs started heading to the gate, why did you not abort the drop until the hogs were relaxed and feeding in the center again? If it is the best cellular hog trap made today, I would think that it wouldn't give any signals to the hogs before it was going to drop. And I would also expect it to have a quicker response and ability to abort the drop. There had to be at least 6 hogs that escaped and will now never go into a trap again because of that close call and escape.
Nothing that I did or the trap did to make the hog grunt. It was already sensing danger before I sent the signal to close the doors. Once the signal is sent, you can’t do anything but wait. It was pure luck on their part. 5 did get out and probably will never go into a trap again. The worst possible thing to happen for a landowner. Now they will have to be hunted.
The one that got away, is smarter than average pigs 🐖
How do you kill them afterwards? Shoot them dead? Is there a more humane way? And what do you do with the caught ones? Eat them?
The proper humane way is to use a small caliber round (.22) into the brain. This is instant to all living things.
Once this is done we donate them to families for processing and they are consumed. We try not to waste any animals we harvest.
I'm surprised they don't dig their way out when you see the mess they make out in the field
They probably could if left in the trap for long periods of time. But we try to take care of them ASAP to avoid stress on the animal and damage to trap or property.
I just have one question: are they delicious?
Yes
More of these invasive species need to be gotten rid of. Here in Japan, we eat wild boar. Not everyone does, but it is a popular simmered dish. More Americans need to get a taste for wild boar. Cooked right, they are tasty!!
Question - why wait to close when they are inside?
I try my best to catch the whole sounder the same time so you don’t educate the hogs on the outside when trapping them.
You had to close immediately after the grunt...
Incredible: so young so suspicious... 2:08
Anyway no one has the intelligence to understand that since doors fall the only way to escape is to lift them.
2:06 - hog on the outside:
"DO NOT EAT ANTHONY FAUCI'S GRAIN ITS A TRAP!!!!!!!! ANTHONY FAUCI MADE THIS CAGE TO BEGIN WITH!!!!! DONT TRUST ANTHONY FAUCI AND BILL GATES SMILING IN YOUR FACE GIVING YOU THIS GRAIN!!!!!!!! THE NEW WORLD ORDER PUT THAT GRAIN OUT THERE!!!!!! THEY SAY THAT GRAIN IS "SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THE PIG POPULATION!!!!!!! WHERE DID THIS CAGE COME FROM?!!!!!!!! THEY SAY THIS CAGE IS NATURAL - LOOK AT THIS CAGE, DOES IT LOOK NATURAL?!!!!!!!! TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, PIGS, THIS ISNT NATURAL!!!!!!!!! IF YOU PUT THAT GRAIN IN YOUR BODY, THE END IS YOU ON A DINNER TABLE!!!!!!" ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
UNTIL ........
If only they were a little smarter they could dig their way out in a couple of minutes.
is it possible to create a roach house style trap? where roach enter the trap but can not get out. letting the food still server its purpose instead of wasting to stomach.
I wonder if these hogs be prepared for food for homeless 😀
Did you ever catch the hogs that got away when the outside hog warned them?
No. We pulled off because of the deer rut. He just now had me come back to work them again.
Thanks for asking
Incredible speed ,these pigs are fast
Are these wild pigs a problem all across America or just in certain states?
Mostly in southern states but are in almost every state now.
You know, you should look into selling them to the Chinese. Chinese love pork. And you can brand them as free range lean pig meat. Like a delicacy.
What’s the most anyone has ever trapped at one time ?
I have trapped 43 at once. Not sure what anyone else has done.
Good job
Thank You
Love the nose first approach to getting out of the trap.
100 down 999,000 to go.
Yep
What happens to them are they processed for food or sterilized or what a little more info would be nice.
They are given to families for processing and the rest go to the boneyard.
@@hollyridgehomestead good to hear some of the meat gets used. The big ones might be nasty but the smell ones would probably be good
@@Sherry-jx9hs we caught 23 this Saturday night "23 Rooter Hogs" that I published yesterday. All of them went to 3 different families. I only had to take the 4 biggest hogs to the boneyard.
Subscribe to our channel, we do more than just hog trap even though here lately its been trapping.
Na verdade é preciso capturá-los. Mas pergunto-me, a carne deles é aproveitável? A dificuldade em capturá-los resulta da extrema sensibilidade ao perigo. Não são estúpidos como alguém disse... são sim muito inteligentes mas a armadilha é naturalmente muito eficaz desde que se tenha muita paciência. Boa sorte e boas capturas.
Uncle Jimbo and Ned will take care of those hogs. "look, it's coming right for us!"
😂
Thanks for watching!
On that last trap, you were being too greedy. About 3-5 got away.
I do my best to catch the whole sounder at the same time. I will drop the gates once the whole sounder is in the trap. When a boar is on the outside I'm not to concerned with him (boars are bonuses). The ones that got out was a result of the boar sounding a warning (which you can hear in the video) as I had already triggered the trap. At that location, my signal had about a 3 second delay to close the gates. It was perfect timing on their part and escaped. That educated them and I was never able to get them in again. Now they have to be removed by thermal scope which is taking place by the landowner.
The worst thing any trapper can do is educate a sounder of pigs, but its going to happen from time to time. This is the only group to escape for me ever (so far).
Thanks for watching and I hope I was able to explain the process of whole sounder removal which requires a lot of patience when trapping.
So what do you do with them? After you've corralled them? Are they good for eating?
Given to families for processing.
@@hollyridgehomestead what shoes “processing” mean? Do they sell it or eat it?
@@TheHighlanderGirl families take the animals and have them prepared to eat. Here in my area most will process the hog themselves, but some will take them to a butcher to have it done in specific cuts of meat. Like pork chops, etc.
@@hollyridgehomestead thank you for the explanation; it’s fascinating to see how something good can come from such awfully destructive critters. Wish the traps caught many more. Surely the meat you provide is welcome in this hyper-inflated, harsh economy! Much ❤️❤️❤️ from San Diego, CA!
What do you guys do with all of ‘em hogs after you catch ‘em?
Give to families for processing.
Just curious, will these guys attack you?
Yes
Nice, but when do we get to see the savagery?
YT knocks me down every time when we show it.
Did one of the hogs break their neck or something?
Got knocked out. It was up and ready when we got there
Trap shy?? or trap wise??
Do they ever try to dig their way out?
If left in there long enough, probably so. We don’t wait very long before showing up to the trap.
This looks so satisfying. SO MUCH free pork for years! Pulled pork, chops, bacon, roasts, ham!!!
Feed lots of families with them and many more to come.
What do you do with the hogs (dead or alive)?
Can you sell them or are they not worth anything?
We give them to families for processing
