100 Hogs Trapped / Drop'N Hogs / Game Changer Jr / Best Hog Trap with cellular triggered gates.

100 Hogs trapped in the Game Changer Jr made by Bull Creek Outfitters. This collection of short videos from my 1st 103 wild hogs I caught. I didn't show every single catch of the wild hogs. Some of the wild boars that were caught were singles. The hog trap is a cellular hog trap. It is the best cellular hog trap made today.

[@chrisvaiuso6010]

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.

We do shoot 1 to 2 hogs outside the trap with thermals almost every time. That’s why we get to them within a couple of hours after dropping gates.

Evolution in real time

[@Bryan-Hensley]

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.

We all know that hogs are an invasive species but seeing up close how destructive they are to agricultural operations and native species, plus the fact that they are intelligent AND dangerous, it just shows the steps you have to take to get ahead of them. Here's some scary numbers from the MS Dept. of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks. Hogs have a gestation period of about 114 days, sows are sexually mature at 6-8 months, and they average 4-6 piglets per litter. In a domesticated situation, that's good for business, but with wild hogs, that's bad news.

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.

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.

[@hollyridgehomestead]

It will always be a problem

[@johnmead8437]

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.

[@calcreighton3385]

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.

[@hollyridgehomestead]

I see some crazy stuff with this trap. Wish I could show everything.

[@artvandelay8090]

How did the one hog know to give a warning grunt? Did some component of your equipment make a noise or light an led that tipped off the hog that issued the warning? And once those hogs started heading to the gate, why did you not abort the drop until the hogs were relaxed and feeding in the center again? If it is the best cellular hog trap made today, I would think that it wouldn't give any signals to the hogs before it was going to drop. And I would also expect it to have a quicker response and ability to abort the drop. There had to be at least 6 hogs that escaped and will now never go into a trap again because of that close call and escape.

[@hollyridgehomestead]

Nothing that I did or the trap did to make the hog grunt. It was already sensing danger before I sent the signal to close the doors. Once the signal is sent, you can’t do anything but wait. It was pure luck on their part. 5 did get out and probably will never go into a trap again. The worst possible thing to happen for a landowner. Now they will have to be hunted.

I do my best to catch the whole sounder at the same time. I will drop the gates once the whole sounder is in the trap. When a boar is on the outside I'm not to concerned with him (boars are bonuses). The ones that got out was a result of the boar sounding a warning (which you can hear in the video) as I had already triggered the trap. At that location, my signal had about a 3 second delay to close the gates. It was perfect timing on their part and escaped. That educated them and I was never able to get them in again. Now they have to be removed by thermal scope which is taking place by the landowner. The worst thing any trapper can do is educate a sounder of pigs, but its going to happen from time to time. This is the only group to escape for me ever (so far). Thanks for watching and I hope I was able to explain the process of whole sounder removal which requires a lot of patience when trapping.

So satisfying.

Very interesting and cool video! Do what you gotta do to get rid of them 👍

Was waiting on the ground to open up lol

I love how they decide to run at the fence as if that was gonna do anything 😂 @9:18 idk how that grunt meant something to them lol 🤔

[@hollyridgehomestead]

Most people watching the video don’t catch the grunt. Thanks for watching!

Great video Holly Ridge. If I may make one small criticism? you probably should have waited awhile after that pig made that warning grunt before you dropped the gate, because these pigs will learn that these fencings are dangerous and they'll stay from them if there's survivors from the herd to teach other pigs that is the case. just a thought
