- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- This segment will demonstrate the successful methods, strategies and technologies used to remove 40 of 40 feral hogs from a single location over three months. Visit www.jagerpro.com today to learn more about how to get rid of wild hogs. We will discuss each step in detail to reinforce the ability to perform 100 percent capture results in less than perfect conditions. This was one of our most difficult and frustrating hog removal projects to date as the sounders had been previously educated by three different sources; dog hunters, gun hunters and 5x10 portable hog traps. This is a prime example of using an Integrated Wild Pig Control™ model when traditional hunting and trapping pressures from surrounding locations produce erratic movement patterns and trap avoidance. High-volume feral hog control is more art than science.

As someone who lives in Scotland this is not a problem known to us, but I must say, this video is excellent. The approach, patience and skills displayed here are somewhat incredible.
that's you lot in the video begging for independence from boris Johnson,
@@gorillachilla We do not beg ;)
It’s like tracking, but from a stationary point of view.
If they are not in Scotland yet, they will be soon. Breeding fast and spreading faster in England.
Not in Scotland, but in England's house of parliament you'll find plenty of fat pigs. Plenty.

It’s always amazing to me how someone can’t tell when a person is joking.
What many people don't realize is how destructive feral pigs are to the environment and how that negatively affects local wildlife populations. These guys are doing the right thing.
Destructive in the way of them eatting crops or because their urine and fecal matter are extremely toxic to the environment or something like that? Like salting the earth the pig urine could make the ground hard to grow crop again?
@@ryanadams0922 they destroy the entire environment they are in. they leave no grass no growing foliage for the natural wildlife to feed on due to no natural predators they go on unabated.

I really enjoyed your comment sir and your open mind, thanks for that, be safe and have a good time
If these hogs ever make it to suburbia, the residents will have less empathy for the hogs. Keeping the hog population controlled in the rural counties is providing service for suburban/urban counties.
@@stevedoe1630 - You know someone that has empathy for Boars? Who? Do they pull their comments? I browsed and NO one is pro-boar.
@@stevedoe1630 - People should always have empathy for the things they kill. Problems been around for thousands of years. Not new. I don't understand how this problem has gotten so out of control in Texas? Such advanced tech and still struggling to keep the population under control.
@@slipjones2 I understand.
Very interesting and educational. As someone who lives in a part of the world where this type of invasive species isn't present, i applaud your content and feedback. It ensures people will be more aware of how big of a problem pests can be and how treating them humanely or not is the least of worries we should have. Your video has inspired me to learn more about hogs in general, and i've found that they can lead to agricultural disasters as well as transmitting terrible diseases to people who consume them improperly, and can also be very hard to hunt when you're not well prepared.

It's good to see such a logical and rational approach to this problem. Feral pigs cause so many problems for farmers and the land, it's become a huge issue, but few outside of the affected areas know anything about it. I've noticed more and more how smarter people are being very prudent and thoughtful in their approach and solutions. This is what will make the difference, I'm sure, and will have the greatest impact over the next few years.

Thank you, much appreciated!!
Hello Jager Pro! First, I would like to thank you for your service to our country! None of us on this side would ever be able to repay you for your service and sacrifice. Second, I would like to apologize for anyone making any comment other than absolute praise for your work, your video production, your voice and narration are awesome. You guys are absolutely the all time professionals in what you do and your commitment to perfection shows in your results and in your presentation to the rest of us. You are an asset to your industry, angels to your clients and an example to the rest of us that are learning from your experiences and freely shared techniques and wisdom, giving us the insight into the thinking of this ever pervasive and invasive species. Please don't change anything. We love your videos and I hope I get to meet you all when I sign up for your night hunting services. I'm saving up for the two-nighter which I know will be worth every penny. Ah, and I loved your reply to that person suggesting you do it for free because you are so successful... what???? Surely there may be an instance where you might find it appropriate to donate spoils to a good cause on occasion, then it would be one more feather in your hat, but render your services for free??? I'm sorry, that guy must not know what he was talking about or at the very least, didn't phrase that correctly... What you do is worth every penny... God Bless.
He's was just another one of those Socialist WOKEsters.
The tactical talk has me hooked, y'all really know what you're doing!
Now that's an advert, made me want to buy one and i've never seen a wild pig in my life.
I find that calling out "Hey buddy, whatchu got there?" does the trick.
LOL.
Animal behaviour is such an interesting thing, like how they move, how the role is split, how cautious they are. The entire video was really interesting.
Sir, I would respectfully suggest that rather hog control being more art than science, you have demonstrated exactly what good science is. Test, observe, reason, improve. Couple that with your obvious level of experience in this field and it's clear why you get such consistent results.

This is a huge problem! Invasive animals are wreaking havoc on ecosystems and livelihoods. Thanks for sharing the different trapping methods farmers are using.
I am impressed by the structural integrity of your mobile enclosure (not to mention your great success rate). Pigs are extremely strong and superb diggers, yet your fences held. Most impressive.

Hi there! I'm having trouble with some feral hogs in my property and I'm a bit afraid that they might somehow harm my children if we don't do anything to avoid them coming so close to the house.
So this video was quite an help and very instructional.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
They will hurt your children. Hope you solved the problem.
On the one hand I feel sorry for them, especially the young pigs. On the other hand I know how good roast wild boar tastes, especially in red wine souce.
Even if you haven't a clue about hunting, this was informative, professional, and easy to understand. Thank you
Lol, when the gates drop nearly every pig in there suddenly thought they might be able to fly!
I don't think so... That'll happen when pigs fly... Huh?
I think they's Tel-O-Pathic! they are so fast they almost jump before the sound of the gate.
Brilliant video!!! I have no idea how I ended up here and neither does this related to me, but I ought to say its a superb demo vid and information delivered! Truly, more art than science.
This was a fascinating video. Thank you for providing such good explanations and sharing it. The main thing I took away from this video is that pigs can be incredibly intelligent. The part where you revealed that pigs never urinate or defecate in places where they eat or sleep really surprised me, especially when compared to modern pig farms where pigs have no choice to relieve themselves where they eat or sleep. Another interesting part was that pigs can really communicate very well with each other. The level of caution and using new strategies was really unexpected. They were more precise and cunning than I ever expected them to be. Great video!
Thank you for the positive comment. We are glad you enjoyed our video.
@@JAGERPRO Even a person thats hungry would go into a trap for food , so where's the logic thst boars or hogs have at ?
@@JAGERPRO Any chance to work for you. I got the finances to buy the proper firearm and accessories (suppressor, military grade night and/or IR scope, etc.)? I would like to help the farmers as I was a dairy farm once and can sympathize.

In the 80's I worked at a few hog farms and a couple of slaughter houses. I was amazed to see how many pigs were smart enough to escape into wooded areas. It didn't take them long to become wild animals.
The pigs that stayed on the outside of this enclosure were possibly raised by people at some point or escaped more than a few times. They are not stupid animals and the certainly knew to keep their distance.
Amazing how intelligent these hogs are. Great video presentation, very informative.
I am so impressed that your fencing withstood the pressure from 25 panicked hogs running into it.
Our patented M.I.N.E.® Trapping System was designed specifically for feral pig impact.
@@JAGERPROyep. As Sun Tzu said, "the oak will break while the willow will give and hold".
Excellent document about how smart and cautious hogs are. The tree huggers don't understand the damage these pigs do when they root for food. Farmers have a hard enough time without wild pigs destroying their crops. Even the 40 pigs killed in the video is just a drop in the bucket because these things have spread across the nation. Keep up the good work guys.
Real/Serious/Honest "Tree Huggers" DO Fully Understand the Ecological Threats that such animals present to the World's Wild Habitat areas. Many "Animal Rights" people may not agree with the need to 'kill' such animals, but True Ecologists do. The 'Evil' in ALL of these overlapping issues, is the mindset, motives, and 'humane treatment'(or lack thereof) of the Feral animals.
Some tree huggers are smart enough to understand the significance of invasive species and why they should be erradicated. Count me as one of them.
I don't know a single tree hugger that likes boars.
very tactical. the complexity of this blew my mind. i enjoyed learning about the feral pig problem and the well thought out methods learned thru behavioral study. even the negative comments brought out very educational facts about the pigs impact on the environment and our farmers who labor to feed us city slickers. Jager pro , you are unflappable and your responses to the negative comments are educational with just the right amount of slap up side the head for those who respond with emotion . PS. are those hogs good to eat?
The US Department of Agriculture does not allow wild pork donations directly to food banks due to swine brucellosis and the pseudorabies virus. However, this does not mean wild pork cannot be eaten. It is fantastic table fare, but very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees. Most feral pigs harvested by JAGER PRO™ personnel are either processed by guests or donated (on the hoof) to local families and churches for food.
This is Integrated Wild Pig Control™ which is the whole sounder removal of a non-native, invasive species as a means of agricultural pest control and disease prevention using any legal means necessary. American farmers lose millions of dollars in crop damage annually to feral pigs. A farmer has the same right to remove corn rootworms, soybean aphids and feral pigs from his crops (your food and clothing) as your right to remove termites, rats and cockroaches from your home. Insect versus mammal makes no difference to the legal definition of a pest or the Best Management Practices needed to control them.
-The threat of disease transmission from feral pigs to domestic livestock is a major concern to the farming industry. Several of these diseases are swine specific (both feral and domestic) but others can affect sheep, goats, cattle, horses, dogs. cats and several species of native wild mammals. Infectious diseases that are significant to livestock include Swine Brucellosis, Pseudorabies Virus (PRV), Bovine tuberculosis (TB), Foot & Mouth Disease, African Swine Fever and Classical Swine Fever (Hog Cholera).
-Feral pigs are known to carry bacterial diseases such as Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, E. coli, Salmonellosis, Tuberculosis and Tularemia; viral diseases such as African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF or Hog Cholera), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Hepatitis E Virus (HEV), Influenza A Viruses (H1N1 and H3N2), Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Pseudorabies Virus (PRV), Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) and at least 45 different parasites (external and internal) which pose a parasitic disease threat such as Toxoplasmosis and Trichinosis to wildlife, livestock, pets and humans.
-Zoonotic diseases transmissible from feral pigs to humans include Leptospirosis, Brucellosis, E. coli, Salmonellosis, Toxoplasmosis, Rabies, Swine Influenza Viruses, Trichinosis, Giardiasis and Cryptosporidiosis.
why not poison the bait?
There are no poisons, toxicants or biological controls legally approved for feral swine use in the United States. Mainly because poisons and toxicants are not species specific and would negatively impact legal game animals such as deer, turkey and raccoons who also eat corn. Secondary poisoning would also occur to scavenger, non-target species such as coyotes and buzzards who eat dead pig carcasses.
colourful lion they are destroying the ecosystem and there is so many
Razorbacks (feral pigs) are a huge problem in Australia as well. Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. Great technology using mobile phones to slam the gates shut. A dead pig is a good pig.
a cooked one is better.
When you do another pig trapping bring a Filipino friend who knows how to cook a Philippine style lechon. It would be like a fiesta.
You will have to teach these good ole boys how to eat fried plantains and purple potatoes.

+Bearded Forever ...how bad are these feral pigs...do they destroy crops and the food supply of other wild animals and are they aggressive? How big do they get?
+Bob Corridan They can go through a field of crops pretty quickly. Their numbers are what makes them a nuisance.
+Bearded Forever can they be taken by compound bow
+Bob Corridan I also trap/control pig populations. They breed damn near exponentially, literally. I've seen groups of 30 to 40 pigs destroy an acre of land in a matter of 2-3 weeks. It renders the land actually dangerous to walk on for human and importantly, livestock. Potholes and trenches are rooted out as they feed.
They can be taken by bow for sport/seasonal hunting, but extermination efforts are geared at the wholesale level.
+Bob Corridan YES they are aggressive, they will kill you in a heartbeat, or your child/grandchild, or pets and other livestock. They will tear up your garden and your fields. They are a menace to everything around them.
Very interesting I’ve used a figure 6 trap with a spring door so they can go in but not out for over 10 years and the most I’ve ever caught at one time was 11 pigs and that’s a record with the trappers in my area and to whoever thinks pigs are stupid animals go do research they are the 5th most intelligent animal in the world even considered smarter than dogs! Keep up the good work Jager Pro we trappers are the first line of defense for the farmers of America!!

"PhD education in trap avoidance the hog has previously learned." Lol
PigHD
@@Defender78 lolol
Pre-baiting is the act of baiting a trap but allowing the controlled pest to feed from it unharmed. It’s a useful technique for controlling trap-phobic pests since you can generally catch more when the controlled pest doesn’t see the trap as a threat to its life. Rodent exterminators do something similar when trying to eliminate a rat population.
I laughed too lmao
"High volume feral hog control is more art than science." I couldn't have said it better.

Compared to the shorts others likely stole, this video completely destroys the "easy trapping" comments people were spouting. It seems that way, and I thought so, too, but once you end up looking for more videos with explanations... your mind opens up. I don't hunt and can care less about hogs, but to prove myself wrong, I looked up hog trapping mechanics and found this video reasonably quickly.
Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you, trapping can be quite grueling and time consuming. It is effective when done correctly.
These videos are really interesting. It's certainly a bittersweet thing to have such a tasty animal to hunt with no season or bag limit, but I am sure as hell glad they aren't a huge problem in Idaho yet. I was reading that to keep the population of feral pigs in JUST Texas at a stable level, 66% of the population would have to be killed yearly! It really seems like an impossible task, although I guess it's good for business!

Patience and Discipline are key to being a successful hog control operator.
+John Davis We made the statement "feral hog control is more art than science" for the same reason the game of chess is more art than science. Chess is an infinitely complex game, which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways. The science of our operation is understanding feral swine behavior. The art is making our move based on their move (behavior) each night until the entire sounder is captured or killed. We may capture one sounder in five moves and the next sounder may take ten moves.
+JAGER PRO™ The complexity of chess is limited. The boardgame "Go" got a much higher complexity, and is more like an art, but okay. Fly´s away
There are more combinations of possible chess games then possible combinations of DNA in the human body: billions upon billions.
The man was right in his analogy.
I've got bundles of respect for you gentlemen. Although I do have to say, taking careful data on the ferals, analyzing it and calculating/predicting optimal/correct moves for your desired outcome is as little art and as much science as you can get. Chess is also science. After all it wasn't computer artists, it was computer scientists that used Deep blue in the mid 1990's to beat the world chess champion. It's just combinatorics, permutations, and pattern analysis.
JAGER PRO™ . Mm
Stanley Banks they are excellent eating, it's like the difference between a store bought tomato and home grown... Older boars can taste rank depending on the time of year... Young sows are best in my opinion
Wow this is actually interesting as fuck lol and I'm loving the informative narration with a deep southern accent hahahaha
For those detractors out there who always seem to want to anthropomorphize wild invasive non native species. Try to step outside your sanctimonious smug self for a moment and realize that we have a real problem when it comes to invasive species. We have hogs in the southern portion of my state (Oregon) now and they are quickly becoming an intractable nightmare. For the agriculture crops alone a run if hogs will not only destroy a crop they completely root up the farmland. They cause erosion losses due to rooting in the forests just to mention a few downsides. It's a lot like the non native eastern red and grey squirrels. People feed them cause they so cute yet they don't realize these same creatures have systematically destroyed the populations of native flying squirrels and grey squirrels which are both far smaller and far cuter (IMO). Much like you boys in this video we have the right as landowners by law to hunt down feral hogs and any other invasive species to stem the flow of these dangerous noxious non native species. It's humans who have caused these problems and part of being a good steward of the environment is not sitting back wringing your hands in a desperate plea to save all the animals. It's getting involved and taking an active role in saving native lands for native species and hopefully returning it to what it once was before we came along and mucked it up.
You guys are doing a great job and I imagine it doesn't bear saying but I will anyway, Don't listen to the uneducated, ill informed trolls. Try to educate where possible but don't waste your breath on the deep rooted emotional responses
I very much appreciate you and your team's efforts and your professional and tactical methods. Nice work.
Anyone pissing and whining about how "cruel" you guys are, needs to get their heads out of their asses.
There's a legitimate reason for feral hog capture and management. Very few even have a clue as to how destructive and invasive, wild pigs are.
They breed like rats and they destroy the human food supply. Plus, they are nowhere near a threat of being endangered.
Plus, they taste DELICIOUS!

Lannon shut the fuck up will you - how would like it if u were a corn plant and these destroyed you
You are liking your own comments. Enough said.
LOL i hate people who assume.
I actually couldn't care less about this anymore - good bye
When all you needed were some angry birds
RIGHT?
😅😂🤣
Nice work! This is a really great approach. No wild pigs in my area but I'd love to go hunting sometime.
A fascinating representation of the analysis of animal (and Hog in particular) response and psychology. That the feral pigs would adapt to negatives so swiftly is jarring, given their impact on the local environment. I can't imagine what it must've been like to try to keep two steps ahead of them during the entire project. They _are_ animals, so it's not exactly rocket science, but between analysis, observation, setup, trapping and removal... man. What a job.
Jager's the best bar none!
I was expecting an ESPN 30 for 30-like story with interviews and colorful commentary. I was mistaken.
Cool vid none the less. 👍
Not Cool
Lmao ! This is the absolutely best random click I’ve ever had in my TH-cam career 😂
I concur
Wild hogs are not even where I live but I like watching these videos lol.
Agree, the pinnacle of strategy education folded into a package of daily work, yet not at all common at this level of sophistication. Timing and the anticipation of timing is everything regarding strategy. Beautiful and cunning animals, it must have felt awesome to interact with them. I wish I could one day try what these beauties taste like, I think they must be fantastic!
An art and a science, most excellent animals and most excellent hunters.
hunting released pigs that turned into boars is the actual root of the problem. Don't release pigs into the wild.
It blows my mind that people way back in the day somehow domesticated these skiddish but also aggressive animals. They're incredibly smart and weirdly organized.
Right!!! They took the time to domesticate them. We kill them. I’m sure God is smiling down on us/
I understand the need to keep the hog population down, they'll eat and tear up all the land if you let them. But I still cant help but feel bad for the pigs, guess I like animals too much. Though I could never do this personally I still respect the service yall provide, it is needed. Anyone hating on yall would be the ones whining about "someone needs to do something about these pigs!" if yall wernt doing what yall do and wild hogs were having their run of the place
It's called ecosystem. One population of a certain animal cannot be too large, if it does, the ecosystem will be unbalanced. There're people dying every single day, do you also feel bad for them? You need to snap out of emo mode and get a life!

You speak pure rubbish. Before humans were around, nature balanced itself out just fine without us. Not once in the Earth's history will humans need to manually "balance" the ecosystem. Learn a thing or two about how it really works.
rygu79
Before humans where around there was no record of history.There has only been chaos without people. Ps I hope the buildings you live in falls down and you have to run to the hills where I live, so me and my bro's can hunt something other than swine.
well driller
Wow let me guess, you attended an American public school?
no very large apple farm in redding ca with 12 other foster kids.
This is the one time I dont feel bad about killing an animal, I mean these things literally have to go
And so do humans. At least animals aren't destroying our planet with their greed and selfishness.
@@amiradiablo831 No, animals do. Overpopulation like hogs are dangerous to the environment from overfeeding. Granted sometimes caused by humans, sometimes not. Big problem is they are, and therefore need to go before they cause damage, they are literally considered pests to farmers, the people who make our food.
@@amiradiablo831 Because we all know animals are the most selfless creatures ever
This is why bacon is ethical 🥓
@@amiradiablo831 they literally cause millions of dollars of damage to agriculture and the environment. Those hogs have to go
10 years later, the hog problem is still getting worse. It seems we need your services now, more than ever.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for taking the time to post this...can you please post pictures of the property / agricultural damage these pest are causing?..I think only then the reality of the situation faced by farmers can be brought into focus ,so ignorant people can understand that if nothing is done..then why try to farm if it is only gonna get eaten?..I have seen the damage a sounder can cause in a night ..and it is incredible.
copperlocks1 We agree with your assessment. Posting photos and video of agricultural crop damage will definitely help urban viewers understand the feral swine problem from the farmer's perspective.
❤ tђє ςคยϟє ๏Ŧ ฬєt קคภtเєϟ ❤ Spoken like a true amateur with no field experience. Viewers do not have to "imagine" feral pigs ramming the sides of a trap. They are able to view a sounder of 25 pigs on this video which only required 4 hours of labor to capture. Only a novice would believe this task could be accomplished more efficiently with a gun.
The property where I saw the sounder damage was on a friends farm/ranch...it would take too much time to try and shoot that many compared to being trapped...What is your TIME worth?..that sounder destroyed almost a 1/4 acre in a night, also to mention the possible injury to cattle if they stumble in a rut that the pigs create; the loss of 1 productive cow/steer or heifer or worse; a bull=$$$$...as for the trap..on the video it held them despite repeated ramming...probably if they could climb or jump high enough the could possibly get out.but it held..the company it trying to offer a solution based on behavioral science..and planning ..whats with the flak??..we complain about food cost;imported food..we have the land to sustain us.but we cannot support pests...would you rather poisoned bait?
The fatal flaw with poisoned bait is that..it enters into the food chain...predator/scavengers/pets.. eat the carcasses and they themselves are poisoned..worse still new generation poisons that kill with low doses are harmful to aquatic life if it gets into tanks...ponds and streams via runoff...even after the carcass is gone the poisons persist for a long time it gets assimilated by plants.. livestock eat the plants ;we eat the milk,meat..poisons get to us.. ...we pay a price any way you look at it...5K for the traps now..or 5K for the Cancer treatments later...LOL!
I am Canadian myself..Moved to Texas from Toronto 17 yrs now..the feral pig issue in the South..is almost approaching plague like proportions..mild winters and a litter every 3 months..access to food all year they will overrun everything..they dig up and expose plant/grass roots so the plants die.other foraging game animals don't stand a chance if pigs are around..each geographical area has its own issues when it comes to pest that threaten livestock..and agricultural land...in the plains the have a prairie dog problem..wild Mustangs....if it is only buck only deer hunting up north..because of no deer; then start hunting Wolf and Grizzly...mmm!! would love some bear stew now..or Jerky/sausage.. have the pigs relocated to feed the wolves and Bear..I am sure it would be no problem esp with the free trade agreement!
T-rex enclosure in Jurassic park..... meh... these ones are more vicious when they keep ramming both the gates!
Great work team!!
Turn the captions on @ 7:38 TH-cam recognizes the noise from the cage as "applause" lol
:D
They're like "Congratu-FUCKIN'-lations sir!"
Lmfao
Man you blokes put an unbelievable amount of work into that operation & the payoff was worth it.
I’d be interested in the cost and effect efficiency of this method. At the end of your video you said you shot the remaining 12 in thermal operations. Likely far more cost effective than the design and building of this trap, the use of months of bait, and time spent reconditioning this group of hog’s behavior for an end result of only 40 total hogs. With the time and resources committed do you feel this really is any more effective at controlling over all problem populations than traditional mass hunting. Watched a helicopter hunt take down 200 pigs in a day and a half across what was probably a much larger territory and wider spread population than this method covers. This was an amazingly detailed and informative video about feral pig behavior and patterns. Great job on the production and intel.
Taking them out one by one raises suspicion, if you don't get the leader straight away they leave, have a lot more babies because of the loss of pig life, and now the problem is 10 times worse
Agree, seems like a lot of work compared to shooting in thermal operations.
You have the perfect crop protector now . The recorded distress calls of the 25 captured pigs , just play it over the farmers fields until harvest . Would the pig's eventually learn this and feed on the crops anyway ?
+Guy Noir Using distress sounds or propane cannons to scare pigs away are considered "aversive devices" and is (at best) a short-term solution. Pigs quickly become desensitized to the audio if no physical danger occurs. There has never been an academic study (from any country) to support fencing or aversion will eliminate agricultural crop depredation long-term. A single sow will produce two litters of six to ten pigs annually and their offspring will reach sexual maturity in eight months of age. Fencing or aversion does NOT stop reproduction and 100 sows can grow to 1,600 pigs (100 x 16) in one year. These methods are logistically and financially flawed theories as they do not impact feral swine populations. Efficient lethal control is the Best Management Practice (BMP) for feral swine.
In that case , three AR's at night with infrared scopes .
+Guy Noir The cost of our M.I.N.E. Trapping System (M.I.N.E. Gate with control box, six each 18-60™ trap panels and a M.I.N.E. Camera) is only $3,500 which is less than the cost of a single AR-10 rifle topped with a Gen 3 night vision scope or a 320x240 resolution thermal scope. In this 40/40 video, our trapping process is more efficient (25 pigs - 4 hours labor) and our product is less expensive than a rifle with night optics. You still have NOT factored the number of personnel, rifles, thermal optics, ammunition and man hours required to shoot 25 pigs (multiple events) vs. trapping them (one event). JAGER PRO™ developed the Integrated Wild Pig Control model which is “a strategic approach using a series of innovative lethal control methods and technologies implemented in a specific sequence based on seasonal food sources. Emphasis is placed on efficient removal of the entire sounder at one time to eliminate escapes, method education and reproduction. The control strategies must continually change throughout the various seasons to effectively target adaptive survivors.” Trapping will always be more efficient in the winter to target sow and pig sounders. Thermal shooting operations will always be more efficient in the spring during planting season to target boar bachelor groups who avoided winter traps. Professionals must factor all variables to make informed, educated decisions.
Thanks man . By golly I believe you've tried all of this . I believe you're traps are the best method .
You're doing a great service!
Whoever runs this channel and still replies to new comments, is a legend.
Good eating and good for the environment! Win Win!
People think that just because pigs are farm animals they are dumb, when they are actually one of the most intelligent animals in the planet, on the top five list. More than horses and than many breeds of dogs. That's why these pigs learn and remember from their experiences, pass the info to others, and are so hard to capture this way. They know that any human presence or trail means danger.
pro choice, pro gun, pro hunter
Ive never been a hunter nor have i ever hunted but i find this fascinating and watched the entire video
