The wonders of youtube algorithm. I was happily watching documentaries of the solar system and somehow ended up watching videos of pigs getting trapped, and I must say it's quite fascinating to watch the trappings.
The economical approach to wild hog eradication is the way to go plus you don't have to do the drop gate monitoring. This is the winner 🥇!!!! "" PIG BRIG!!!!!! 😍
I agree, maybe eradication is possible; follow the principles of ecology and since these pigs are infesting, may I suggest to let the vultures feast on them, and not the humans. Please keep me posted.
What impresses me about this is the trap's simplicity and that its function is passive once it's set. This really is quite ingenious. And I gotta love that music. It just seems to work so well with what develops, especially that moment when a couple of them were doing it like they do it on Discovery Channel...
Thanks Watcher3223. We are hoping the trap can help a lot of people. You can actually get some sleep and not be woken up by raccoons in the trap and texts at 3am.
@@PigBrig one thing I wonder is, how come the pigs don't start running frantically until after the trap closes down? What exactly gives them the sudden alarmed feeling of being trapped which gets them so hysterical that they're still running frantically hours later? They're standing and eating calmly until it closes. Can they suddenly visually see that they're trapped when it closes down? Or is it the noise of it closing which suddenly tells them they're trapped?
@@alvexok5523 Let me take your questions one at a time. The Pig Brig trap doesn't have a gate, so it doesn't close down. The lower part of the net lifts and falls off their back when they enter (much like vegetation). If you see a drop gate trap when the gate drops, there is noise and the pigs do run around (eventually they settle back down). What you see in a lot of our videos is the trap owners driving up to the trap. This approach gets the pigs nervous as well. Typically, on camera, they are not stressed in the trap (other than occasional moments of stress if something makes a noise nearby or startles them). Pigs don't seem to have a lot of stamina, particularly in the heat, so generally, they will settle down in the trap even when trap owners approach (eventually). Pigs also don't have great visual acuity. Noise seems to more readily cause a startle reflex.
I started watching these videos only in the last few days. My question is, How successful are they in the long run? Do they make a real dent in controlling this problem?
Hey there! Thanks for watching - and for the questions! We have literally thousands of customers, in the US and abroad, who have caught tens of thousands of pigs with this system. This trap is the first line of defense in Germany in their battle against African Swine Fever. It is also widely used by commercial trappers working for USDA Wildlife Services here in the United States. We have one customer in Texas who has been trapping since January with his Pig Brig and he has caught over 500 pigs. ☺️
@@ronintsukebin9163 Yeah! Give us a shout if you have any questions or want any more information (info@pigbrig.com) We definitely have folks using our trap in Japan! 🇯🇵
@@PigBrig I went to your website and saw the info about looking for partners for selling. I also found videos in Japan catching hogs and all were done in the mountains by snaring a single hog. They then get the snout and then they go in and tie up the legs while the hog is still alive. Very interesting to say the least! I have not seen any videos with traps such as the Pig Brig or the metal types. I am in the US but if I can get over there one day I will ask around. I think a "small" Pig Brig might also be interesting for setting up in the mountainous areas where there is space to place them. Of course, the sizes you have will work, too, in more open areas.
Wild pigs do so much for us as humans. They give us tasty meat and they love to entertain us by jumping around and dancing. They are good at giving us food and entertainment.
@@bertiewooster3326 Yet there are hog trapping videos here where the owner talks about feeding hungry families with the meat. That makes it sound as if the meat is safe to eat.
@@PigBrig it seems very practical and could have a measurable impact in finally making these things go extinct in the wild here. Set some more traps up in high concentration areas in Texas. You could kill tens of thousands a year.
@@samael1981 We sure hope so. We are selling a bunch of them in Texas and are getting good feedback so far. The largest catch is 36 pigs in one trap. Easy to set multiple in an area too. They are super portable.
@@PigBrig Portable and lightweight is the advantage. Reminds me of the Dutch eel nets. They want that food and they'll keep looking for that opening in the net. In this instance, their weight is holding down the opening lol
We are sure happy to hear ... if there are any questions, let us know (and appropriate for the day, we have a Military/Veteran's Discount that we are happy to share if you can use it).
Get the "Hopper Stopper" Topper, the netting that goes on top and keeps a bigger pig from jumping out, usually off the back of another. Is worth. Oh, and Pig Brig, you're welcome to steal that name.
Ole Yawt Yawt over on the other channel thinks it's too much work putting up the Pig Brig. But he's willing to haul heavy metal panels around and stay up half the night dropping the gate. Lol ohhh I forgot he's being sponsored by the metal panel company. Wow so his crusade to feed the hungry is really not all about the hungry. Lol I want to see him eat one of those stinking rancid bo hogs!!! 😍 Pig Brig rocks.
I’m not a hunter, but the ecological damage done to native fauna and flora by imported Eurasian boars and pigs gone feral is an unmitigated disaster. Thank you for sharing the history of how your company developed this trap, it’s just really interesting to read! Good luck trapping! 🐷 🍖
can someone please explain why they don't just burrow back out the way they came in? When new hogs enter there are gaps where they can lift the net further with their snouts and exit. Perplexing
The net at the bottom curves inward. The pigs naturally root under brush, so moving forward under something and letting the net fall off their back doesn't spook them. Once inside, the position of the net on the ground makes them stand on it while trying to root to get back out. They haven't realized they are keeping themselves in. It also looks like the inner circle of net is anchored down at several points, so it's less likely the net bottom is pushed outward.
Also, there's not a whole lot of unnatural noises with a net, so they don't panic en mass if one decides to leave, spends some time trying to get out, but ultimately sticks around and eats some more.
This seems a quite unusual but very effective way of trapping hogs, but I have a question I wonder about. The fact is that the hogs could easily escape the trap if only they thought of going under the edge of the net lying on the ground. Granted, they don't have hands to grasp it and lift it, but they have snouts which they frequently use to nose into the ground, and generally probe things with. It would seem that this might work here, if only they thought of it. They are supposed to be one of the most intelligent animals on the planet, so why don't they think of just probing the edge of the net and easing it up until they can get underneath and find freedom again? Instead, they seem to just keep hurling themselves at the vertical parts of the netting and bouncing back again - and keeping on doing something that doesn't work doesn't seem very intelligent behaviour to me. Could it happen one day that a hog might discover the real way to get out, as I described above, even if only by accident, and then the other hogs trapped there would notice, and they would all work out how to escape. It is said that hogs that escape a trap remember and never approach a similar trap again, so they are very hard to catch. If knowledge of how to escape Pig Brig spread amongst hogs generally, could that lead to the whole system losing much of its effectiveness? That obviously would be disastrous for you - is it something you ever worry about? - that hogs may one day learn how to escape your net trap? After all, it is easy to escape your trap if only they know how to - whereas the usual metal traps that drop down offer no way of escaping at all. Given how intelligent hogs are said to be, this is something I have been wondering about.
Interestingly they focus on the edge of the trap and not the net they are standing on. If you leave them in long enough, they would likely dig out - like other corral traps, but here, they stand on the net and focus on the edge. We definitely encourage our customers to get to the trap early for dispatch and leave enough bait in the trap to keep the pigs occupied until dispatch arrives. The inner circle of the net is anchored in a way so once pigs root under and into the circle and they try to leave and are standing on the net they are trying to push out from. Their typical behavior is to focus on the wall of the net they are standing on. Escapes do happen occasionally. Our best guess is maybe 1-2% - so it’s super rare. The good news is that every time this has happened so far, the escapees have handily come back into the net trap - they seem to treat it more like vegetation they've gotten untangled from and aren’t wary of the trap. The pigs normally don’t even realize they’ve been captured until the human arrives to dispatch them. Even if you start seeing activity decline around the trap (most likely because you have captured all the sounders residing in that area), it is super simple to pick up and move to another location that pigs are active in and see success. Thanks for the comment! Hope this explication helps to answer your question! 😊
We have similar nets that we've used in the field for around 10 years, but we mainly use them during the winter, clean them, and then store them in containers. We'd expect this net to last about 5 years, depending on care and usage. Of course, there may be situations where it won't last five years (intensive use with lots of interaction, direct sun, weather, lack of care). We do offer a pretty competitive money-back guarantee and warranty program. Hahahaha oops 😅
Cool! It’s an ingenious trap system. Every wild hog hunter should have them. I would only use them in mostly dry conditions, though. Getting them wet and muddy would probably shorten the lifespan. I guess you have a little repair patches that owners can repair their nets with and make them last longer. Cheers!
Having been out deer hunting this season, I'm getting a ton of hogs on camera. I just ordered the XT with hopes of trapping these freaking monsters on camera.
Hey! It isn’t perfect. We do have pigs chew on occasion - but the best thing is that it is easy to repair and they come back. There’s no metal or no noise so they usually don’t know they’ve been trapped until a human shows up. The net is tight like a trampoline on the sides and is extremely strong. We drop boulders on it from a crane to test. It’s pretty cool. Super simple to use and easy to move around.. no tech.
Sadly that's a lot harder legally. Generally, the meat gets used and a lot of neighbors are happy. Most states don't allow you to remove them alive from the trap, so difficult for inspection to happen and disease risk can be high.
Yikes. We do have a lot of happy owners and we sure are happy about it. I hope you have a system you love. Thanks for stopping by, we sure have worked hard on this one. 🙏🏼
At 2:30, I saw the babies. And I felt sorry for them. I also don't feel the slightest bit sorry for them. "Kill them all! "BASH THEIR HEADS!" (That was an Easter Egg to a random NPC in Diablo III)
@@PigBrig Precisely. It isn't their fault they're here... But we dare not show the slightest mercy. And it hurts my Love of Critters. But we have to do it, for the Rest of The Critters.
I want to Bake some of these lovely pigs they deserve to "wine and dinned". They are a very giving species that love to give humans delicious and tasty meat and at the same time they entertain us by dancing around and jumping and slamming into their "play pens" just for our entertainment.
I am guessing you need to move to a new area (even if just 100 yards away) after trapping a large group?. Seems like shooting them is the only way to get them out. Typically the scent of that will deter others from coming back to that spot? And what about the scent on the trap itself- has that caused any issues? Looks like a great idea still!
Gaines, we’ve had customers trap multiple times at the same site ... doesn’t seem to be problem. If there are still pigs, they’ll keep getting caught. I think the record might be 5 different catches at one site. You can certainly load pigs from our trap ... there’s a video that shows the process under FAQ, but most folks shoot them ... safer to shoot in the net. We haven’t had any residual scent issues once pigs are conditioned to the trap in the area they are good. Thanks for the good questions. :)
@@PigBrig Someone mentioned a hybrid system. I could see a metal rectangle with 3 metal sides and the 4th side or end a Pig Brig opening. With a metal sliding gate at the opposite end of the Pig Brig net opening it would make loading into a trailer easier.
Wont the trap get quickly wrecked though, with all those huge bodied boars crashing into it? You'd be better to hide back and snipe them with the rifle, rather than go close and have them crashing around like crazy.
One of our customers just shared a 287.8 pound boar caught as part of a sounder. The trap is dynamic and works kind of like a trampoline distributing force over a wide area. Stop and think about all the places we use netting and rope - It is used as a safety device to prevent spectators from getting injured at sporting events, to hold cargo down, and in military use. You may get smaller cuts and tears, but those are easy to fix. If you were to get a larger hole, we would either send a repair kit or replace the net. We have an excellent warranty program and a great trap support team. Lots of folks hunt pigs, and that’s great! For those who want a multi-catch option, that is easily transportable, and you don't need to stay up all night waiting for pigs to go in the trap to drop the door this offers a good option. It also works well for those that are struggling with the metal traps that they have because the pigs have become wary to their trap system. Have a great day and thanks for checking us out! 😊
@@PigBrig Thanks a lot for answering my question. We have a huge feral pig infestation here in Australia, so I really appreciate what you folk are doing in the States. One final request. In your next video, can you show the pigs being shot - or is that a RUclips thing? Cheers and thanks for the great videos.
@@philipsutton2316 ah, yeah ... RUclips thing. We try to stay away from our videos getting banned. We are happy to answer questions about firearms/euthanasia in trap tho. We wait for the pigs to settle down, shoot, wait for them to settle down and shoot ...
@@philipsutton2316 Hey! Thank you! There are quite a few folks using our trap in Australia to help with their pig problems, and we have a distributor too. You can check out www.pigbrig.net.au/ if you are interested in more information. We really appreciate all the hard work our customers are doing and are thrilled to try to help case-by-case, but online we try to remain sensitive to anyone who might find those types of videos disturbing or anyone who may stumble upon that content by accident. You won't be seeing any euthanasia videos - but we are working on a few other things so stay tuned! Thanks again!
@@PigBrig Sorry - one more question. When you shoot the pigs and their blood and guts is all over the net and ground - will the pigs come back in a second time - or do you have to move the trap to another location before you can reset it again?
Who butchers your hogs butchers in Canada don’t want to touch them then . They can’t cut it where they do regular stock. And I can’t run 8 pens and butcher

WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT "" PERSONEL PROPERTY OF FARMERS 📍 OR TRAPPERS 📍 OR HUNTERS 📍. .....LAW MUST BE MADE TO STOP THIS PRACTICE OF TRAPPING WILD ANIMALS.
Hopefully some people will use the meat, I’m sure not all, but sadly they are an invasive species that cause tons of damage to land, other species including native fawns and turkeys, etc.
I know I really dont have a say in this because we dont have wild pigs in IDAHO,and I dont have to suffer with the damage they cause......I am a life long hunter of wild game,SO I tthink shooting pigs in a cage is disgusting,IMHO
Hi Ken, we hear ya. Sadly, pigs cause billions of dollars in agricultural and conservation damage each year. People lose equipment, crops and ranch animals to feral hog damage. Conservation lands lose fawns, turkeys, and ground nesting birds. The trap is actually pretty low stress for the animal. They enter and don’t realize they’ve been trapped until the human shows up to dispatch them. They aren’t injured in the trap and the dispatch is more likely to be humane vs shooting on the run. Given the growth in the feral hog population in the south, folks need to trap ( need to get the whole sounder vs shoot individuals on the run and make others smart). Sorry to hear your feedback, but it is a terrible issue for folks. Thanks for stopping by.
They are not native in the US and cause extensive agricultural and conservation land damage. In most areas of the US it is not legal to remove them from the trap alive.

We have similar nets that we've used in the field for around 10 years, but we mainly use them during the winter, clean them, and then store them in containers. We'd expect this net to last about 5 years, depending on care and usage. Of course, there may be situations where it won't last five years (intensive use with lots of interaction, direct sun, weather, lack of care).
We do offer a pretty competitive money-back guarantee and warranty program.
Hahahaha oops 😅
Cool! It’s an ingenious trap system. Every wild hog hunter should have them. I would only use them in mostly dry conditions, though. Getting them wet and muddy would probably shorten the lifespan. I guess you have a little repair patches that owners can repair their nets with and make them last longer. Cheers!
Now this is what you call a trap. Bet they didn't see this happing .... lol
It's so funny that you caught a boar mounting a sow. That's how pest pigs make more pest pigs.
Welp honeybun they got us and music playing! Let’s say we make bacon one last time! 1:23
Background music noise is not necessary
Having been out deer hunting this season, I'm getting a ton of hogs on camera. I just ordered the XT with hopes of trapping these freaking monsters on camera.
Hey! That's awesome! Keep us updated, and let us know if there's anything we can do to help!
looks cheap,light and flimsy but It is actually economic, portable and efficient
Too funny, but yes! And it works.

And they can't chew through the netting or not smart enough to try?
Hey! It isn’t perfect. We do have pigs chew on occasion - but the best thing is that it is easy to repair and they come back. There’s no metal or no noise so they usually don’t know they’ve been trapped until a human shows up. The net is tight like a trampoline on the sides and is extremely strong. We drop boulders on it from a crane to test. It’s pretty cool. Super simple to use and easy to move around.. no tech.
Get em all!
Top demais muito legal.
Hogs check in but can't check out 😊
👍👍
Lol, the hordes of Pigland on the rampage.
Donate the meat to a homeless shelter.
Sadly that's a lot harder legally. Generally, the meat gets used and a lot of neighbors are happy. Most states don't allow you to remove them alive from the trap, so difficult for inspection to happen and disease risk can be high.
WOW Very good
Cost? Looks like it’s simple and effective
Angus, check out our website at Pigbrig.com
Were they tasty?
With the python problem in Florida, and the hog problem everywhere else, seems like one problem might solve the other.
Perfect. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙌
Less than 4 dozen in 2 weeks? Waaaw.
Yikes. We do have a lot of happy owners and we sure are happy about it. I hope you have a system you love. Thanks for stopping by, we sure have worked hard on this one. 🙏🏼
At 2:58 how did pigs expire?
At 2:30, I saw the babies. And I felt sorry for them.
I also don't feel the slightest bit sorry for them.
"Kill them all!
"BASH THEIR HEADS!"
(That was an Easter Egg to a random NPC in Diablo III)
Ah ... it is a tough problem. The critter isn't inherently bad ... its the situation that's bad.
@@PigBrig Precisely. It isn't their fault they're here...
But we dare not show the slightest mercy.
And it hurts my Love of Critters.
But we have to do it, for the Rest of The Critters.
I want to Bake some of these lovely pigs they deserve to "wine and dinned". They are a very giving species that love to give humans delicious and tasty meat and at the same time they entertain us by dancing around and jumping and slamming into their "play pens" just for our entertainment.
Whoever thought of this setup will be $$$$ if he got a patent on it.
I am guessing you need to move to a new area (even if just 100 yards away) after trapping a large group?. Seems like shooting them is the only way to get them out. Typically the scent of that will deter others from coming back to that spot? And what about the scent on the trap itself- has that caused any issues? Looks like a great idea still!
Gaines, we’ve had customers trap multiple times at the same site ... doesn’t seem to be problem. If there are still pigs, they’ll keep getting caught. I think the record might be 5 different catches at one site. You can certainly load pigs from our trap ... there’s a video that shows the process under FAQ, but most folks shoot them ... safer to shoot in the net. We haven’t had any residual scent issues once pigs are conditioned to the trap in the area they are good. Thanks for the good questions. :)
LOL, nope. We shoot pigs in the same parts of our ranch all the time. The smell of dead pig doesn't phase them.
@@PigBrig
Someone mentioned a hybrid system. I could see a metal rectangle with 3 metal sides and the 4th side or end a Pig Brig opening. With a metal sliding gate at the opposite end of the Pig Brig net opening it would make loading into a trailer easier.
it is a pig party, lol
We might need a t-shirt with that on it.
@@PigBrig lol
Party without soda or alchol, convenient though, need not go home afterwards.
Wow
:)
1:41 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻🤣🤣🤣
I think they are the same animals, but why is the scale different from Japan? With this number, the damage to crops would be considerable.
Unsure what the densities are in Japan, but we’ve had considerable interest in the trap there.
Wont the trap get quickly wrecked though, with all those huge bodied boars crashing into it? You'd be better to hide back and snipe them with the rifle, rather than go close and have them crashing around like crazy.
One of our customers just shared a 287.8 pound boar caught as part of a sounder. The trap is dynamic and works kind of like a trampoline distributing force over a wide area. Stop and think about all the places we use netting and rope - It is used as a safety device to prevent spectators from getting injured at sporting events, to hold cargo down, and in military use.
You may get smaller cuts and tears, but those are easy to fix. If you were to get a larger hole, we would either send a repair kit or replace the net. We have an excellent warranty program and a great trap support team.
Lots of folks hunt pigs, and that’s great! For those who want a multi-catch option, that is easily transportable, and you don't need to stay up all night waiting for pigs to go in the trap to drop the door this offers a good option. It also works well for those that are struggling with the metal traps that they have because the pigs have become wary to their trap system.
Have a great day and thanks for checking us out! 😊
@@PigBrig Thanks a lot for answering my question. We have a huge feral pig infestation here in Australia, so I really appreciate what you folk are doing in the States. One final request. In your next video, can you show the pigs being shot - or is that a RUclips thing? Cheers and thanks for the great videos.
@@philipsutton2316 ah, yeah ... RUclips thing. We try to stay away from our videos getting banned. We are happy to answer questions about firearms/euthanasia in trap tho. We wait for the pigs to settle down, shoot, wait for them to settle down and shoot ...
@@philipsutton2316 Hey! Thank you!
There are quite a few folks using our trap in Australia to help with their pig problems, and we have a distributor too. You can check out www.pigbrig.net.au/ if you are interested in more information.
We really appreciate all the hard work our customers are doing and are thrilled to try to help case-by-case, but online we try to remain sensitive to anyone who might find those types of videos disturbing or anyone who may stumble upon that content by accident. You won't be seeing any euthanasia videos - but we are working on a few other things so stay tuned!
Thanks again!
@@PigBrig Sorry - one more question. When you shoot the pigs and their blood and guts is all over the net and ground - will the pigs come back in a second time - or do you have to move the trap to another location before you can reset it again?
👍
Who butchers your hogs butchers in Canada don’t want to touch them then . They can’t cut it where they do regular stock. And I can’t run 8 pens and butcher
👏👏👏👏👍
Rats
I want to watch.....you shoot them!
We'd get banned from RUclips. :)
Could easily do without the dumb music . The traps look really great though !
☹️😆 We hear ya … we liked it at first and after listening to it 1000s of times we wish we could get rid of it … next time … we had to have something tho 😉
Music is fine. You have a mute button on your computer and phone
@@TV-ob1if And your not using your head then ! You will soon be a after thought , at best !
@@robertkreiling1746 doesn’t change the mute button exists. 👍🏽
@@TV-ob1if Sure I do ! It is called not watching your crap and not sharing it with anyone button !
WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT "" PERSONEL PROPERTY OF FARMERS 📍 OR TRAPPERS 📍 OR HUNTERS 📍. .....LAW MUST BE MADE TO STOP THIS PRACTICE OF TRAPPING WILD ANIMALS.
And what now?
What happens to them? Just Get killed? 🤔
Yeah, they kill them.
@@clawfeather8150 And use them for anything or just get rid of their dead bodies? And where they would throw those of that’s what they do?
Hopefully some people will use the meat, I’m sure not all, but sadly they are an invasive species that cause tons of damage to land, other species including native fawns and turkeys, etc.
I know I really dont have a say in this because we dont have wild pigs in IDAHO,and I dont have to suffer with the damage they cause......I am a life long hunter of wild game,SO I tthink shooting pigs in a cage is disgusting,IMHO
Hi Ken, we hear ya. Sadly, pigs cause billions of dollars in agricultural and conservation damage each year. People lose equipment, crops and ranch animals to feral hog damage. Conservation lands lose fawns, turkeys, and ground nesting birds. The trap is actually pretty low stress for the animal. They enter and don’t realize they’ve been trapped until the human shows up to dispatch them. They aren’t injured in the trap and the dispatch is more likely to be humane vs shooting on the run. Given the growth in the feral hog population in the south, folks need to trap ( need to get the whole sounder vs shoot individuals on the run and make others smart). Sorry to hear your feedback, but it is a terrible issue for folks. Thanks for stopping by.
@@PigBrig Or everyone can send the pigs caught to Ken's area instead of shooting them.
MAKING BACON
Всем здоровья! Вы их потом убиваете???
They are not native in the US and cause extensive agricultural and conservation land damage. In most areas of the US it is not legal to remove them from the trap alive.
