I am amazed at the hogs' reaction time. I have looked at it by frame. From the time the trap is deployed, that is the very first frame when there is movement in the mechanism, to the time the hogs are already in full motion is just a shocking 4 frames. If I am right in that video plays at 60 frames per second, that is only 70 milliseconds for the animals to react!
It's because their hearing, their main sense along with smell, is faster and more acute than ours. Prey animals have very sharp senses to detect predators, it's how they stay alive
Alto their hearing and smell are very sharp since they're their 2 main senses, their sight isn't very good, most of the time they can't see a hunter standing 10 meters away from them
It looks like they have no gap moment of reckoning, whereas us ape have a near 1 sec moment of protecting ourselves first before moving. Their defense is to run away, ours if first to protect vital parts with arms.
Ingenius. The only short comings is the lag time between the time the trap is triggered and the time that it actually takes the trap to hit the ground. This might be remedied or mitigated with some strategically placed expansion springs that contract when the trigger is tripped. Another tweak that might be made is to quiet the system down somehow. The hogs seem to spook the instant the trap is triggered and the noise of the release mechanism resonates throughout the metal fencing. If the sounder of hogs is large enough it's easy to envision those on the periphery of the sounder within the overhanging trap will escape the instant the trap is triggered and they hear the noise. It's easy for folks like me to sit behind a keyboard and nit pick not having any experience whatsoever with hog control. It's just that when you're on the outside looking in it's also easy to spot where improvements could be made. Like nearly all products on the market, in order to continually evolve or improve products they have to be upgraded periodically. This leads me to believe that the tweaks I've mentioned have been on your list of upgrades long before I or anyone else ever mentioned such things. Good work.
The mechanism needs improvement. They first hear the sound of the latch, and there is a delay before the cagr actually drops. I guess the latch probabky bears the weight of the entire cage, which is not good. Excess force required to deploy, which makes noise.
Hearing sense very sharp, their reaction is so fast became they're prey animals and escaping like that essential to survive predators, that in nature will usually creep up on them and sprint at them
Excuse me sir, I am nowhere near familiar about this subject so I am going to ask. ARE THEY GOING TO EAT THE PIGLETS TOO ?? If I sound dumb pls bear with me, I dont have any experience about this hunting thing. Hope someone replies.
@@gabrielgratil7360 They probably will or donate them however when it comes to feral dogs you have to take extra safety measurements so it's hard to say for this specific company/ hunting party.
@@allandulles7108 If you watch close, it’s on a track. As it drops, it rotates out. It’s because hogs are extremely fast and if it went straight down, they would beat it before it hit the ground.
I'm from australia and hogs seems to be a major problem in texas or other states in america, but it seems to me that a lot of these videos are becoming a business competition. For a farmer or a property owner whatever the trap is, it must be cost effective and not too fancy as we are trying to help them eleminate the problem not pay a fortune as our farmers are struggling as it is
Though feral swine can be good table fare, eating them comes with a risk of contracting more than 20 infectious diseases known to affect humans. The highest risk of transmission occurs while handling uncooked meat, so wear gloves and other personal protection. These risks make sale of the product very difficult, resulting in limited market options for wild-caught swine. In most of the country, it is illegal to release feral swine captured in traps. Many of these animals are euthanized and composted, while a few of them do make it to the table for personal consumption.
At first I thought this trap was too small, but it's actually better that it's small because the pigs can't get a decent enough run up. It's a tougher build as well (pigs can do some serious damage running up at fencing). Plus they don't get enough courage I detect as their decision time is too close to getting trapped underneath those heavy bars. Great design.
In case you still have not figured it out from other sources, feral pigs have no natural predators, breed quickly, can do a lot of damage, and are serious dangers to property, pets, and even people. The trapped animals are killed.

Just place some bait on in the center and wait for the pigs to come then just press a button, good set up! Hog meat is pretty good too, I hunt with my dad and I are hog meat in the wilderness
How long do they run around like that? I've heard the meat is gross but there must be other uses for it I would think? Do only the males get horns or w/e they are called?
Interesting design you have there. I like it, however, the curvature of the tracks seems to cause a slight delay for full deployment. Straighter ones likely to speed things up.
I am also curious about the reason of this design. Maybe because it's easier to reset and/or easier to trigger?? But I see your point of being slower to deploy it
Its simple physics. The curvature ensures a level and equal drop around the cage. A straight drop has the chance of delaying on one side or getting stuck.. Also a straight drop only has gravity, where as a curvature also has its own momentum from movement on a downhill surface in addition to gravity for a faster drop.
Phil Wikina I know the trap inventor & you nailed it! Early prototypes dropped straight down & they encountered the issues you explained. Also, the curved track allows one person to reset it using a hand winch - not possible if you have to raise it straight up.
I'm from the far north, so I only hear stories. Some have told me wild hogs are inedible; others say only the old boars are rank and the year-olds taste fine. Anyone have experience?
I think the rotational drop causes some kind of disorientation for the hogs, you might not see this because the hogs are very fast, that's why this trap brilliant.

These are said to be pretty smart critters. How many times will the trap work in one location before they have it figured out? How hard is it to break down and set up (man hours and people wise I mean)?
In most areas of the country, it is illegal to harbor feral swine without proper permitting. In most cases, you will have to consult the state department of agriculture for regulations on feral swine.
Well this is a great method. But one with obvious single point fail mode, that would allow sounder to escape after activation. It makes sound before beginning to drop. We can see a head start that it gives to adult hog. If a hog would get wedged, even crushed by falling fence, that would provide enough space for rest of sounder to escape.
Will this work on hippies? Got feral hippies on my property tried traditional traps and poisoning didn't work. They form drum circles and keep me up all night.
They aren't hippies what they are are bums and losers. Hippies were in the sixties and usually pretty educated. Get a rifle fire it up in the air if that doesn't work, let the hogs at em.

Just asking, does a pig ever get caught under the fence when it drops , a casualty of the fencing system.i think these pigs are bad for farmers and the environments they destroy but I dont eant to see them suffer.

Kirk - I`m not seeing where one got away. OK, I see it now, but he/she wasn`t in or near the trap when it deployed, so likely won`t be spooked by it. (I tmust be the little piggy that went wee wee wee all the way home)
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Feral Hogs and BoarBuster Traps For questions about the Boarbuster Trap, contact WW Manufacturing at: wwmanufacturing.com/contact/ Q: Can you eat feral hogs? What happens after they are trapped? A: Though feral swine can be good table fare, eating them comes with a risk of contracting more than 20 infectious diseases known to affect humans. The highest risk of transmission occurs while handling uncooked meat, so wear gloves and other personal protection. These risks make sale of the product very difficult, resulting in limited market options for wild-caught swine. In most of the country, it is illegal to release feral swine captured in traps. Many of these animals are euthanized and composted, while a few of them do make it to the table for personal consumption. Q: How is the trap disarmed by a sensor? A: When the trap is dropped, a normally closed circuit that is attached to the latch informs the camera that the circuit is now open and the trap has been deployed. The camera disarms when reading this change in status so that pictures are not being sent to users every 10 minutes when pigs are trapped in the trap. Q: If the trap falls on a pig, will it let out the other pigs? A: Occasionally, the trap may fall on top of a pig, but this is mostly mitigated by the baiting strategy of the trapper and the ability to see live video at the time of trapping. Most often, when the trap falls on top of a pig, that pig either escapes or is trapped inside the trap after it frees itself. In rare occasions, the trap may land on a pig that is unable to free itself, but other pigs generally do not escape. Q: Why make the trap rotate? Wouldn't a straight drop be faster? A: Safety and user friendliness were considered when designing the traps. The spiral design allows the trap to be elevated via a central point without the use of dangerous cables and additional electronics and cost. The difference in speed to the ground is only milliseconds unnoticed by the human eye. Q: Do these pigs ever try to dig their way out of the trap? A: Feral pigs root and wallow in the soil but do not burrow like their cousin, the warthog. When the trap is managed according to best practices (i.e., prompt removal of captured pigs), this is very rarely a problem. Q: Wouldn't shooting them or hunting them be easier? A: Shooting/hunting is an easy practice, but it is not considered an effective control strategy because it does not remove enough animals simultaneously to reduce populations. Q: Why do the feral hogs need to be killed? A: Feral pigs are a nonnative invasive species that competes with native wildlife; damages natural ecosystems; spreads disease; and poses economic burdens for farmers, ranchers and consumers. Q: Can we farm feral hogs once we catch them? A: In most areas of the country, it is illegal to harbor feral swine without proper permitting. In most cases, you will have to consult the state department of agriculture for regulations on feral swine. Q: Isn't the BoarBuster trap too small? Wouldn't this make it possible for the feral hogs to escape? A: Noble Research Institute testing of various trap sizes was considered in the final development of the BoarBuster trap. Testing conducted with third-party trappers across the U.S. found an 18-foot diameter was sufficient to repeatedly capture sounders of wild pigs containing up to 40 animals. Noble has also identified several best management practices for using the trap, including bait placement and quantity. These can be found in the “Proven Strategies” section on the BoarBuster website: community.boarbuster.com/ Q: What is the phone app to trap response ratio? A: As with all cellular technology, the response rate depends on the signal strength. BoarBuster uses a low frame rate and black and white video resolution to speed transmission through the server. For example, with two bars of signal at the trap and a good connection on person, the trap command lags less than 2 seconds behind the video displayed. The in-person trap response, disregarding video, is instantaneous. Q: Does the BoarBuster trap actually have any effect in feral hog populations, or is it just a maintenance measure? A: Research on BoarBuster at Noble Research Institute has demonstrated that the system is capable of reducing populations by 88% on large acreages. The larger the area controlled, the longer the control efforts last. Control on small acreages may easily reduce populations by more than 88% but will be temporary as new population of pigs immigrate.
Few are eaten?? I dont know where you get your info but thats just not true. The big boars are bad but wild hog is great eating!! 20 diseases?? Dude you really need better info. Wild hog is just as safe as domestic pig.
Yes you can. I have a friend in Yokum Texas. He catches them in a cage and sells them to people for meat. 😁🤷♂️. I love to visit him he always has a freezer full of hog meat.

Just what I was about to write.
Still not fast enough. One of the piglets in the first sounder brings his head up just before the cage falls. He knew.
Thought i was the only one amazed at the hogs reaction time…
Oh man I need a LIFE...
Incredibly fast reaction time!
Got 'em!
Their reactions are almost instantly. Amazing
It's because their hearing, their main sense along with smell, is faster and more acute than ours. Prey animals have very sharp senses to detect predators, it's how they stay alive
But not fast enough
@@labzoli1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been watching boar trapping and hunting vids for the last 3 hours. Time well spent
Same here.
I'm always amazed at how hard they will face plant into the sides of the trap trying to escape.

goognam goognws so true it seems hogs don’t brace for impact.
Incredible but not incredible
Fast but not fast enough, now they’re BBQ ribs, bacon and ham, oh snd chops.
also their reaction to captivity was more incredible and beautiful.
I can't deny getting a little buzz every time I see a sounder react to their new circumstances.

Well it worked as designed, didn’t it? Not one hog got out. This time.
you could nevvvvvvvvvver get it quiet enough! The slightest little click or whatever will spook tem just as much, i'm guessing
Take a look at the net trapping systems. I think they work by a one way in, under the net, and no way out.
Like a funneled trap. Very quiet.
I've Had Alot Of Experience With Hog Traps Over My Lifetime & In My Opinion,, These Are The Best Traps Out There.
the respond is so quick. just a milliseconds after the trap deployed
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Animals have quicker reflexes than we do unfortunately

They are like 220 volt Toys Fast !
This is a good creative idea to have something resembling a shelter so there is no hog hesitation getting into an enclosed area and is very effective.

Not only their reaction, action on the field is also remarkable
I like how the trap expands wider as it drops so it takes the hogs longer to try and escape.
It doesn't expand. It drops diagonally... Presumably to confuse...

So where’s part two showing what happens next?

😂😂😂 capture every one of them filthy pigs
I’m hooked on these videos

what do you do after trapping them
They have to be killed
I seen wildboars jump 2m clear in the sky,how do these boars not escape the trap?does it have wires at the top?
Hello how can you use the meat ?
I assume that all the adult pigs are dispatched but what do they do with the piglets
@Deborah Lancaster I was just curious if they fed them out or killed them right away
Can you provide that type structure
How long do they run around like that? I've heard the meat is gross but there must be other uses for it I would think? Do only the males get horns or w/e they are called?
I wonder why the trap spins on the way down. Maybe to intentionally slow the descent so the frame isn't stressed when it hits bottom?
I think it has to do with making it easy to raise again with just the one hand winch, and allow one release mechanism to hold it before triggering.
Vern C You are correct!
Why does it rotates in a diagonal motion? A straight path would not be more efficient?
At 130 did u see big foot running in the back ? I saw him
John Lopez lol
Interesting design you have there. I like it, however, the curvature of the tracks seems to cause a slight delay for full deployment. Straighter ones likely to speed things up.
it also does not have any 'corners' for the pigs to push on. stronger cage
You don’t think the engineers thought about having it straight up when they designed it? It’s obviously like that for a reason

That’s the way to make an impact on the population. Catch the whole sounder with all generations.

Wild *pigs*, boars, sows and their offspring.

What happens next?
THAT MY FRIEND!!! IS ONE NASTY TRAP...NICE...
Whatt do you make white hogs
I think the rotational drop causes some kind of disorientation for the hogs, you might not see this because the hogs are very fast, that's why this trap brilliant.
Was wondering why it didnt just drop straight
I had to watch 3X after your comment in order to see the "rotational drop". Thanks
I am amazed at how fast the little pigs are.
Can this trap 30-50 feral hogs?
Suggest some acceleration with some springs, 1st milliseconds
I think he’s suggesting to add strong springs so that the trap can fall down faster
Umm dumb question but once they trapped then what? They get shot or what? A lot of meat there

Deborah Lancaster You are very knowledgeable on this topic! All of your responses to questions about the video are spot on. Wildlife biologist?
That is one sweet trap! Did you manually drop that? Or is it a motion activated? Awesome
Manual. Live video feed through a phone app. Wait for it, press the button.
@@jscottmcneill You have to wait for the Animals be in the right spot inside but it works perfectly
Holy moly! Manual activation?

Nice, but I wonder how many drops it would take before wear and tear begin.
You lucky guys, you caught some lovely pigs. I'm sure you guys are happy to have such lovely pigs to play with and eat.
These are said to be pretty smart critters. How many times will the trap work in one location before they have it figured out? How hard is it to break down and set up (man hours and people wise I mean)?
My guess is you would have to take periods where you just put out feed for a week or so before trapping again
Why tho?
Do you feed up the babies for slaughter later?
can we farm them once we catch em?
In most areas of the country, it is illegal to harbor feral swine without proper permitting. In most cases, you will have to consult the state department of agriculture for regulations on feral swine.
Is it possible that hogs will soon evolve by being able to climb away from these traps?
Second group was relatively calm.
How much does it cost to set one of these up?
Well this is a great method. But one with obvious single point fail mode, that would allow sounder to escape after activation. It makes sound before beginning to drop. We can see a head start that it gives to adult hog. If a hog would get wedged, even crushed by falling fence, that would provide enough space for rest of sounder to escape.

They aren't hippies what they are are bums and losers. Hippies were in the sixties and usually pretty educated. Get a rifle fire it up in the air if that doesn't work, let the hogs at em.
How do the hogs know the cage is coming down?
I assume they're reacting to the noise only their "startle" reflex is well developed. They sure move fast.
Those call at the beginning are grey tree frogs
Oh! You gotta be quicker than that!
Much better than the jager system. No wasting two weeks time to acclimate the pigs to an already lowered fence with an entrance.
Their reaction time is amazing.
How do you get them out of the trap once they are captured?
+RAWKLOBSTAR: Use a magic wand, * ting * at them and they will be turned into cooked bacon.

I'm guessing you can add weights to increase the drop speed, but at the expense of more wear on the moving parts. A very effective trap system.
1:10 you can see another hog running away behind the trees. He will be tricky to capture.

OK, I see it now, but he/she wasn`t in or near the trap when it deployed, so likely won`t be spooked by it.

if fits the profile and speed of one; probably is one considering what you just saw

Can this be done over wifi instead of cell signal?
I don’t hunt but this is so satisfying to watch
what do you do with those boars?
Helping farmers and feeding families
Did you notice that white and black spotted piglet?
has the trap ever landed ON a pig, and crushed it? I imagine with a smaller piglet it could easily.
What happens after? Butchering?

A: When the trap is dropped, a normally closed circuit that is attached to the latch informs the camera that the circuit is now open and the trap has been deployed. The camera disarms when reading this change in status so that pictures are not being sent to users every 10 minutes when pigs are trapped in the trap.
Q: If the trap falls on a pig, will it let out the other pigs?
A: Occasionally, the trap may fall on top of a pig, but this is mostly mitigated by the baiting strategy of the trapper and the ability to see live video at the time of trapping. Most often, when the trap falls on top of a pig, that pig either escapes or is trapped inside the trap after it frees itself. In rare occasions, the trap may land on a pig that is unable to free itself, but other pigs generally do not escape.
Q: Why make the trap rotate? Wouldn't a straight drop be faster?
A: Safety and user friendliness were considered when designing the traps. The spiral design allows the trap to be elevated via a central point without the use of dangerous cables and additional electronics and cost. The difference in speed to the ground is only milliseconds unnoticed by the human eye.
Q: Do these pigs ever try to dig their way out of the trap?
A: Feral pigs root and wallow in the soil but do not burrow like their cousin, the warthog. When the trap is managed according to best practices (i.e., prompt removal of captured pigs), this is very rarely a problem.
Q: Wouldn't shooting them or hunting them be easier?
A: Shooting/hunting is an easy practice, but it is not considered an effective control strategy because it does not remove enough animals simultaneously to reduce populations.
Q: Why do the feral hogs need to be killed?
A: Feral pigs are a nonnative invasive species that competes with native wildlife; damages natural ecosystems; spreads disease; and poses economic burdens for farmers, ranchers and consumers.
Q: Can we farm feral hogs once we catch them?
A: In most areas of the country, it is illegal to harbor feral swine without proper permitting. In most cases, you will have to consult the state department of agriculture for regulations on feral swine.
Q: Isn't the BoarBuster trap too small? Wouldn't this make it possible for the feral hogs to escape?
A: Noble Research Institute testing of various trap sizes was considered in the final development of the BoarBuster trap. Testing conducted with third-party trappers across the U.S. found an 18-foot diameter was sufficient to repeatedly capture sounders of wild pigs containing up to 40 animals. Noble has also identified several best management practices for using the trap, including bait placement and quantity. These can be found in the “Proven Strategies” section on the BoarBuster website: community.boarbuster.com/
Q: What is the phone app to trap response ratio?
A: As with all cellular technology, the response rate depends on the signal strength. BoarBuster uses a low frame rate and black and white video resolution to speed transmission through the server. For example, with two bars of signal at the trap and a good connection on person, the trap command lags less than 2 seconds behind the video displayed. The in-person trap response, disregarding video, is instantaneous.
Q: Does the BoarBuster trap actually have any effect in feral hog populations, or is it just a maintenance measure?
A: Research on BoarBuster at Noble Research Institute has demonstrated that the system is capable of reducing populations by 88% on large acreages. The larger the area controlled, the longer the control efforts last. Control on small acreages may easily reduce populations by more than 88% but will be temporary as new population of pigs immigrate.
Few are eaten?? I dont know where you get your info but thats just not true. The big boars are bad but wild hog is great eating!! 20 diseases?? Dude you really need better info. Wild hog is just as safe as domestic pig.
@@KGFishyFingers domestic pigs are dewormed regularly often monthly, how often do you deworm wild or feral pigs?
Yes you can. I have a friend in Yokum Texas. He catches them in a cage and sells them to people for meat. 😁🤷♂️. I love to visit him he always has a freezer full of hog meat.
@@fmolina2661 lucky you sir
@@maverickchalal2014 mmmm-mmmmmm🤗👍🐗 . Just make sure is cook it right. . Let me know Mav.ill ship you some.
Trap may need to be a little bigger
I'm a Country Boy from St Louis and Mississippi I would love to see that in person
Great system!
