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.
@@BK-yu8xh Ok, that's well known, but do they have some place in the hierarchy in wild life, if you manage to eradicate them 100% let's say will that jeopardize the eco system, I really ask that because I don't know, do they eradicate some other pests?
I'm a little surprised that nobody has electrified their drop-traps as of yet...rig up the on/off switch to the door, or the metal poles. When raised it breaks the circuit and turns the voltage off...when dropped, it gets turned on. Might keep em from damaging the trap if they took a little jolt.
@@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.
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.
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
I've been watching a few channels now with this trap or similar, and it's shocking how out of control the problem is. 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.
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.
This is a magnificent piece of advance technology that catches the entire sounder and not just a few when you use a rifle night sights and a scope I find this to be simply marvelous 😀
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.
@@jeffj_39 I had bacon earlier. They sure do taste good. I love hunters, they get good food and the animals usually have more humane death instead of natural causes or predation. It's a win-win. Would love to taste some deer jerky, never had it.
Here in Oklahoma I’ve had pens of weaning calves killed and eaten in one night. They’re a terrible nuisance and they even eat the sod from the housing areas.
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.
Good stuff, Old Mastery Gunnery SGT USMC. We killed them with star light scopes many years ago that was left over from nam, and we did a good job on them and that is no lie. Love the vids today. Always help the famers. 308 semi alto was good for the hogs with no problem, in those days.
Thank You Sir for your service. My father was a Vietnam Veteran. We are doing our best to help them. They don’t get enough of it and the hogs here keep tearing up the fields. Thanks for watching.
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 😂😂😂

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
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!!

@@hollyridgehomestead I assume that FDA won't let you eat these hogs or give them away to be consumed. It's crazy how food can be a "nuisance" one place and "need" in another. They have a problem with wild chickens down in Key West Florida the state I'm from. Oh well...
@@jkjenkins7205 actually I can give them away for processing which we do. But I make sure the families getting them is on site or very close depending on the weather. So times it’s just to hot and spoiled before it can be processed. We do our best.
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.
Let this be a metaphor for life, when things are free there’s probably a catch.
Especially a free hand job

Well said 👍
You are 100% correct; precise and succinct.

What do hogs do if not trapped like this?

@@amgame2839 their hierarchy is being invasive. They are destroying habitat of native animals, consuming resources, and being overpopulated.

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.
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.

@@hollyridgehomestead I assume that FDA won't let you eat these hogs or give them away to be consumed. It's crazy how food can be a "nuisance" one place and "need" in another. They have a problem with wild chickens down in Key West Florida the state I'm from. Oh well...
@@jkjenkins7205 actually I can give them away for processing which we do. But I make sure the families getting them is on site or very close depending on the weather. So times it’s just to hot and spoiled before it can be processed.
We do our best.
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.
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
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.
Did one of the hogs break their neck or something?
Got knocked out. It was up and ready when we got there
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.
Watching those pigs bounce off the gates is AWESOME!!!!!
Trap shy?? or trap wise??
Smart little fellas. And boy-o-boy, do they ever want outta there!
They try their best. Haven’t had one jump out yet, but I’m sure at some point one of them will be strong enough to make it that high.
watching them gates fall and seeing them go crazy is very satisfying to me
It’s exciting while we are watching them live just before we drop the gates.
like when you getting yr first gilfriend home and parents are out
@@radleysmith7528 😂
Is the meat edible? Taste? 🤔🤔🤔
Is the hog meat(pork) edible? or is it full of worms ?A hog is pounds of pork chops moving around in synchronism with pounds of pork sausages in tow.
Yes we eat them but you do have to check for worms. Especially during the warm months.
Hello from Kazakhstan. What do you do with pig carcasses?
We give as many pigs away as we can, but the rest go to the bone yard.
@@hollyridgehomestead Thanks for your reply. Now I understand why pork ribs, so popular in the US, are so popular all over the world.
@@nikolaykz666 now you making me hungry!!
@@hollyridgehomestead 😪
I just have one question: are they delicious?
Yes
When the gates dropped they knew they were bacon😁
I actually tasted hog bacon, it's pretty good
