Hog Trapping | (22) 19/19 Feral Hogs Removed Using Capture Success Matrix™ | JAGER PRO™

[@buynsell365]

This is one of the BEST videos that you guys have produced. It was a complete video from start to finish of how to bait them.....setup trap......watch........and then complete the capture. Very good.......keep up the great work. Call me crazy but I love the part where you guys are shooting them in the trap. That would be the best part of the whole affair in my opinion.

[@KyleInOklahoma]

*_Those traps are pretty cool. I would like to know if a hog is released will just hook up with the nearest bunch of hogs it finds or is it gonna look for it's own. Also, when you remove these, will others move right in? I noticed that when we fenced in all 3 water sources around mine & the neighbors land we almost cut their presence to zero, for real. I watched a guy in Texas who tracks them & so i figured they aint just runnin all over the place randomly. So i also found 1 train they use & since i was in the middle of making an off-road track for the kids in their atv's, we turned that track into part of it so they with all the human traffic the hogs stay clear. Great result_*

We now have a weekly television show which airs every Tuesday night at 9:30 pm Eastern, 8:30 pm Central on RFD-TV. DISH Network - Channel 231 Direct TV - Channel 345 Cable TV - Check with your local Cable Provider for channel information. Our first season (26 shows) demonstrates how a single Hog Control Operator™ efficiently removes the entire population of 450 feral pigs from a 4,800-acre property along the Flint River in central Georgia. Each week teaches the art and science of Integrated Wild Pig Control™ in a carefully documented case study of whole-sounder removal. The purpose of this show is to teach viewers how to eliminate feral swine populations from their entire county using future Farm Bill funding in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Here is a preview of our JAGER PRO™ TV show on RFD-TV - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaKuh2eJZsl7r7c

Great video series! I live in Utah, where there are no pigs, but several neighboring states have problems with them, and this series has really helped me to get ready in case they come here.

[@jtoddjb]

such an excellent system. I bet it seems expensive to people at first, but after seeing what they do to a crop in just a short time one should realize they are losing money by not spending it on an effective system like this. I'm not affiliated in any way I just think this is such a good system. The quick dispatch of the animals once trapped is even humane. Great job

[@JAGERPRO]

+kzbin.info 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 160 degrees. To answer your concern, most feral pigs harvested by JAGER PRO personnel are processed by guests or donated to local families and churches for food.

Whether a non-native, agricultural pest is eaten or not has no value in the "damage management" decision-making process. Just as removing all termites, rats and cockroaches from your home to stop future residential damage is more important than ensuring all captured pests are eaten. Insect versus mammal makes no difference to the legal definition of a pest or the Best Management Practices needed to control them. The total number of wild pigs we successfully donate has no bearing on the number of animals we must euthanize. The United States cannot BBQ our way out of the feral swine problem.

Have you tried using hose clamps on your pen fencing instead of the wire? It's quicker, and they are reusable.

[@Renville80]

Matt Childers you have to take into account whether the clamps would withstand the force of hundreds of pounds of panicked porkers slamming into the fence in hopes of finding a way out. If the fence fails you’d never be able to get them to go in another one.

After 2 years watching your video guys i finally know the problem is not generally feral hog but some ignorant, yeah feral hog destroy corn field but ignorant people destroy the whole community

[@JAGERPRO]

Feral pigs are NOT native to North America which means they do not belong in the United States. They harmfully impact agriculture, native vegetation, vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, soil properties and water quality causing an annual negative economic impact of $2.5 billion dollars in the United States. Human action led to feral pigs being released in our country and the man-made problem requires a man-made solution. Removing a non-native, invasive pest from the landscape only improves the planet for the native plants, animals and habitat which do belong here. Letting pigs live is totally irresponsible and a perfect example of the negative impact humans make on the world by applying compassion instead of science and logic.

[@lylestavast7652]

How often does another sounder drop into the cleared out area, or is it more random than that. Are there thermal camera drones involved in this to identify groups under brush etc ?

[@JAGERPRO]

There are several factors which determine how long a property remains at "zero balance" after a successful Integrated Wild Pig Control™ (IWPC™) program has been implemented. Future reproduction and migration would have to come from adjacent properties since an effective IWPC™ program would prevent escapes, method education and reproduction from the entire generation of feral pigs living on the property. Are neighboring landowners implementing a successful IWPC™ program? Are there enough trained Hog Control Operators™ in the county to effectively implement the IWPC™ program? Has the state passed legislation to stop intrastate and interstate transportation of feral pigs? How well are law enforcement personnel enforcing these rules in the state? Are judges and the court system prosecuting those breaking the rules with heavy fines? How many criminals are illegally transporting and releasing new feral pig populations in the county? The amount of time a property remains at "zero balance" greatly depends on the answers to the above questions

[@Kaosaephan11]

Hi - love your videos, as always. I have a few questions: 1) Why don't you use silencers when shooting the pigs? That way the other pigs would not be scared away by the loud shots. I'm not familiar with guns so apologies if this is a silly question. 2) Why don't you show more video footage of the actual shootings of the pigs? I think most viewers would want to see the process of the hogs being put down, and how long it takes without the video edits. 3) Could you provide footage of how long it takes the pigs to calm down once they realize they've been trapped? Most videos show the traps dropping, pigs scrambling for a minute or two, and then it ends. I am curious to see if they tackle the fences for hours or just a few minutes. Thanks a lot. Hope to see more videos.

[@JAGERPRO]

1) The device on the end of the rifle at 12:20 is a suppressor. We shoot .308 caliber AR-10 rifles. There is little advantage to shooting a suppressed rifle for hog control purposes besides noise reduction. Pigs still run when a supersonic bullet (shot through a suppressor) impacts another pig. To answer your question, we use suppressors on our AR-10 rifles for noise reduction but it does not change the pig's behavior after the shot. 2) View our video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXeoiYOin92qnMU&lc= beginning at 4:20 to see pigs euthanized in the trap with a suppressed .22 caliber rifle. 3) Most feral pigs test the trap enclosure for approximately one minute, then return to feeding. Our Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to euthanize pigs within 30 minutes of capture to eliminate any chance of overnight escapes. However, we will record a future video of this "post-capture" action in real time so viewers may observe it.

[@Kaosaephan11]

Awesome, thank you for your response and explanation. I am looking forward to more videos. They manage to be educational and entertaining. I was oblivious to this feral hog issue before seeing your videos.

[@p51mustang24]

@@Kaosaephan11 To clarify what was said above, suppressors (aka silencers) do not actually make the gun silent. There is still a supersonic crack of around 120+ decibels or so. That's LOUD but much quieter than the 160-190 decibel muzzle report of an un-suppressed gun. There are SOME guns that can actually be made queit, but i requires subsonic bullets. .45 ACP and .300 blackout, .22lr and a handful of others can be made fully silent, but it requires heavy bullets with a light powder load behind them to keep it subsonic.

[@p51mustang24]

The speed of sound is something around 1100 feet per second. Some pistol calibers only shoot at about 900-1000 feet per second, and can be fully silenced. An M16/Ar15 shoots at 3,100 feet per second, and AK-47 shoots at about 2,400 feet per second, and most other rifles of any kind are somewhere in that range.

[@p51mustang24]

A suppressed rifle still allows you to shoot without ear protection (if outdoors), and makes it very difficult for the bad guy (in a military or defensive situation) to tell the exact direct you are shooting from, as there is no muzzle report. All they would hear is a supersonic crack that seems to come from both directions. neighbors also appreciate the reduced noise.

[@Morzall0055]

@JAGER PRO™ Do you reuse the materials you built the trap enclosure with after the hogs have been eliminated?

[@JAGERPRO]

Absolutely. Our M.I.N.E.™ Trapping System can be moved to multiple bait sites to capture hundreds of pigs on a property.

[@emirlie]

I have a question. The MINE camera reminds of a face. With two eyes, a nose and even a mouth. Do you think this has a negative effect on the hogs keeping them from getting the enclosure? How about using a more subtle natural looking design?

[@JAGERPRO]

Emre Emirli The M.I.N.E. Camera is not the issue as it is positioned eight feet high above a pig's normal field of view. The main problem was this farmer had already educated pigs to the trapping process by first using 5' x 10' box traps with a three feet wide gate threshold on his property. These small, portable traps are less expensive and easily transportable, but also far less efficient. Pigs are the fifth most intelligent animal on the planet and quickly learn to avoid these metal contraptions after a portion of their family has been captured. It took us six days to condition this sounder to trust the 35' diameter M.I.N.E. Trapping System with an 8' wide gate threshold. Feral swine removal is much easier if farmers would use the proper equipment and Best Management Practices (BMPs) necessary to capture the entire sounder from the beginning.

[@jameslawson7383]

What did I miss. I thought he said there were only 17 in the trap. If the trap has 17, and you shoot one outside, that is only 18 pigs. I am going to watch the end again, as I might be wrong, or missed something. Still, I love these videos. Keep them coming.

Feral swine can be eaten, but it is very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees. Most feral pigs harvested by JAGER PRO™ Hog Control Operators™ are either processed by guests or donated to local families and churches for food. 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. The seven-page brochure “Diseases of Feral Swine” vet.uga.edu/population_health_files/diseases_of_feral_swine_brochure.pdf written by the University of Georgia - College of Veterinary Medicine is the most thorough and informative document concerning this topic.

Crazy question - if you can have remote cameras and sensors and mechanisms to drop the gate... seriously why not just set up a remote gun inside the fence area to take out the hogs once they're all rounded up and trapped?

[@JAGERPRO]

Remote shooting methods are not legal. Only remote trapping technology is permitted in the United States.

[@unisol2287]

There is no crazy question ....

[@patkcorcoran]

Do you think the pigs know their end is near?

[@JAGERPRO]

Whether a non-native, agricultural pest knows whether "their end is near" or not has no value in the "damage management" decision-making process. Just as removing all termites, rats and cockroaches from your home to stop future residential damage is more important than understanding how a pest processes the situation.

Feral swine can be eaten, but it is very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees.

Can these hogs be used for food?

[@p51mustang24]

yes, but its not always practical. Takes a hell of a lot of time to process that many boars. They'd start going bad before they even finished. The boar needs to be gutted within a few hours of the kill.

[@tylerwilliams8137]

has a hog ever hit one of the walls after the gate closed that it broke ifs neck?

[@JAGERPRO]

No. Feral pigs are a very durable species. Whitetail deer, on the other hand, are fragile and can break their necks without the gate being closed.

[@tug_slug3161]

If your cameras text a picture every 3 minutes how many text messages will the property owner receive over a 72 hour (3 days) period? Wouldn’t it be better if your cameras would only send a text/picture when motion within the trap is detected? This would lower the cost to the property owner making your system more in demand

[@JAGERPRO]

Our cameras operate both ways; either motion detection or time lapse. Few people use time lapse. Most users choose two minutes between motion detected photos. You would only receive five photos if an animal fed for 10 minutes.

Feral swine can be eaten, but it is very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees. Most feral pigs harvested by JAGER PRO™ Hog Control Operators™ are either processed by guests or donated to local families and churches for food. However, there is another perspective to consider. Mission success is based solely on removing the entire sounder from each property since whole-sounder lethal control prevents any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process. Whether a non-native, agricultural pest is eaten or not has no value in the "damage management" decision-making process. Just as removing all termites, rats and cockroaches from your home to stop future residential damage is more important than ensuring all captured pests are eaten. Insect versus mammal makes no difference to the legal definition of a pest or the Best Management Practices needed to control them. The total number of wild pigs we successfully donate has no bearing on the number of animals we must euthanize. The United States cannot BBQ our way out of the feral swine problem. Any carcasses NOT used for food are buried per Department of Agriculture regulations.

[@jameslawson7383]

At 9:09 he says 17 - At 12:30 it shows only one pig shot outside the trap. At the end it says 18 were caught in the trap, so did he miscount or was it just 18 total?

[@JAGERPRO]

aries wheel Our cameraman is filming the footage as it happens in real time. You are viewing exactly what we are experiencing in the field. The I.C.E.™ Cam photos during Step 1 identified 19 pigs some nights and 20 pigs other nights during bait site conditioning as one boar was inconsistent. Internally, JAGER PRO practices a "5-Night Rule of Engagement" after the enclosure is built during Step 2. Our experience has proven we can condition 97-98% of a sounder into the 35' dimensions of our M.I.N.E.™ Trapping System within five nights. It is NOT cost effective for us to spend weeks of baiting to pull the last trap shy single or pair inside the enclosure when 98% of the sounder committed within 96 hours. We have enough confidence in our shooting ability to "clean-up" survivors. To answer your concern, there were 19 total at the bait site- 18 inside the trap enclosure and one boar outside. Lance Dement, our Director of Trapping Operations, only counted 17 on the texted photo which was within the capture parameters of our "5-Night Rule of Engagement". He triggered the gate knowing he could "clean-up" the last two but was happily surprised when 18 pigs were inside the trap. There was probably a juvenile hidden by an adult in the texted photo.

[@jameslawson7383]

I get it now. I also like the way you have evolved. When I watched your first videos, I think you were trying to get entire sounders, no matter if it took one, two, or even 3 weeks. If, as you say, you are only mainly concerned with the 97-98%, and get the other 2% by shooting, to me that makes a lot of sense. Do the strays usually stick around with the trapped one's? Thanks for the timely replies.

[@JAGERPRO]

aries wheel Juveniles are usually first to enter the trap so they are rarely missed. There is no hard rule for how long adults stick around outside the enclosure. We have observed sows leave immediately when the gate drops and others standing outside the gate an hour later. Our Standard Operating Procedure is to be accessible to the trap within 30 minutes of triggering to clean-up survivors with suppressed lead projectiles at 2600 fps.

[@mauricegeorge4320]

Great job, guys.. Everything is perfect except cost...

[@JAGERPRO]

It is interesting you used the word "cost" instead of "equipment price". The cost of using equipment with a lower price tag (which does not produce whole-sounder results) is much higher in terms of lost crop yield, soil erosion, water quality and wasted labor. Cheap, ineffective equipment "costs" landowners much more than effective, higher priced equipment.

Do you own property with these invasive animals? I would bet to say you don't, so don't make uneducated statements. Go ahead and find a farmer that's getting tore up by these animals and you ask them how they feel. You'll get educated real quick!

[@윤도리-s9j]

All right, cheers. The wild boar is a really harmful animal. Where do you sell wild boar meat?

[@JAGERPRO]

Feral pigs killed in a trap enclosure with a bullet are not eligible for meat donation or sale. 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 feral pigs cannot be eaten. It is fantastic table fare, but very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees. This invasive species is classified as an "agricultural pest" because they are NOT native to North America and negatively impact native vegetation, vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, soil properties and water quality in the United States causing an annual negative economic impact of $2.5 billion dollars. The negatives caused by feral pigs far outweigh the single positive of producing wild pork.

I am a big fan of your channel! Some of friends are saying that you don't dispatch the hogs with a .22 but with poison. In fact that is the reason that you don't show it.

[@JAGERPRO]

We shoot pigs inside the trap with a .22 caliber suppressed rifle and subsonic 45-grain bullets immediately after they are captured. This practice prevents distressed vocalizations to any other sounders on the property which eliminates method education about the M.I.N.E.™ Trapping process. This also prevents pigs from urinating and defecating inside the trap all night and soiling the enclosure for future captures. Blood inside the trap enclosure does not affect new sounders from feeding. You may view this very efficient process on our "JAGER PRO™ Hog Trapping (27)- Integrated Wild Pig Control™ video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXeoiYOin92qnMU&lc= and JAGER PRO™ Hog Trapping (29) Integrated Wild Pig Control™ video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKcdH9ujLyBm9k. You will notice pigs tend to stand still when blinded by a bright light at night and do not attempt the same violent escapes as during the day. Tell your friends there are no poisons, toxicants or biological controls legally approved for feral swine use in the United States. Mainly because toxicants are not species specific and would negatively impact legal game animals such as deer, bear, 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.

[@TheSpeedula]

Have y'all ever encountered a situation where another animal (besides a raccoon) gets into the trap and wreaks havoc?

[@JAGERPRO]

Our experience has observed this feral swine behavior quite often and the explanation is rather simple. It is the result of a previous failed attempt by an inexperienced person using a less effective product (i.e. portable box trap, narrow gate, trip wire, etc.) against the fourth most intelligent animal on the planet. Any pigs outside the trap when gates are triggered will learn from the experience and become "trap resistant" to future metal objects. This is the reason we promote whole-sounder lethal control. Removing the entire sounder at one time prevents any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process or product. To answer your original question, a sounder will usually scare most species away from the feeder. However, black bears and an occasional alligator will definitely cause pigs to change their feeding habits.

I truelly wonder if this is really cost effective ??...so many days waiting ,and building and so on for at the end only 19 pigs Go hunting every day for 6 days is I think cheaper and More effective ..,but that is what I think ?

[@JAGERPRO]

The average hunter does not kill 19 pigs in an entire year, let alone 19 days or six days. Pigs are the fourth most intelligent animal on the planet. Our definition of success is measured by the percentage of pigs removed and the minutes of labor per pig expended to accomplish the task. Our trapping process is far more efficient by expending only three hours of labor (180 minutes divided by 19 pigs = 9.47 minutes of labor per pig) than trying to shoot 19 pigs with three personnel overnight which is 24 hours of labor (1,440 minutes divided by 19 pigs = 75.79 minutes of labor per pig). The trapping process was eight times more efficient using our M.I.N.E.™ Trapping System which is 1/3 the cost of three semi-automatic rifles with night optics and ammunition. (BTW- three shooters will NOT kill all 19 pigs in a single stalk.) The automatic feeder and cellular cameras perform all the labor during the conditioning process. Hog Control Operators™ make performance-based decisions by measuring results and efficiency. Removing the entire sounder (all 19) prevents any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process or product.

Well, they're operating a mobile site in the middle of a farm, and transmitting high quality video as opposed to a single high quality image can get a lot more expensive. It's probably doable with the current technology, but the cost might be just not worth it.

[@neorubio1]

I´m a hunter and understand your job and why you do it. In spite of that, I have to admit that I wouldn´t be able to kill them all while they are just standing in that cage in front of me. Good video anyway.

[@elkbow]

um, then what would you do? Hogs are a menace and causes millions of dollars of damage that you and I pay for because of increased prices because of them. You have to exterminate them some way, Jager Pro has it down to a science, their system works more efficiently than others I've seen. A suppressed .22LR and a shot to the brain is instance death, no suffering, the most efficient way to do it in my opinion.

[@JAGERPRO]

neorubio1 Help us understand why a hunter would not be able to euthanize pests in a trap. Would you feel the same way regarding termites, rats or cockroaches in a trap? What about armyworms, soybean aphids or corn rootworms? Feral pigs are NOT game animals in the United States. There is NO closed season and NO bag limit on feral pigs (except the backwards state of CA) because they are an invasive species and an agricultural pest. Traditional HUNTING methods used to control game animals (whitetail deer) producing one or two fawns per year will NOT control an invasive species (feral pig) producing 12-20 piglets annually. Are you confusing the CONTROL methods of an invasive species with the ethical "fair chase" methods used to manage a game species. Hunters have the ability to harvest an unlimited number of feral pigs 365 days per year but are either unwilling or incapable of population control. We would like to understand why in order to discuss this topic at the Wildlife Damage Management Conference next week.

[@neorubio1]

elkbow You didn´t understand me. I just said that I wouldn´t be able to kill them because I would feel sorry for them, they are already trapped with no option of running away. I understand and agree with you that it has to be done and that is the best way to do it, but I don´t like it anyway.

[@neorubio1]

JAGER PRO™ I didn´t say a hunter wouldn´t be able to do that (did I?), I said I wouldn´t, and it was just my personal opinion. In fact, we have a problem with foxes where I live, and we use traps to caught them and kill them too, but I never do it. In spite of the fact that I hate them, I can´t kill them inside a cage. But as I already said, I understand you and your methods, and agree with them, you don´t have to convince me. Maybe I didn´t convey my thoughts properly.
