Its weird that they are fraid of confined space, but after capture, seem to go right into a small confined space!

[@EGarrett01]

I think one goes in out of curiosity, or boredom, or seeing a possible way out, and the others then see pigs leaving the area and follow since it looks like they're escaping.

[@leofangd8501]

The first hog : this way, this way!!! Everyone gets in. Second hog : Now what? First hog : Now, we wait.

[@alan30189]

Well done! A lot of other trappers should watch this and learn something.

[@joelmartin2053]

Why do they load themselves? Do they think they are escaping?

[@rayward9265]

As a general rule, when working with livestock, you move close enough to them for them to feel "pressure" from your presence, and they will move in mostly predictable ways. Generally away from you. The video says that they stand on the opposite side of the trap from the trailer, and then pigs "load themselves." That's the right distance for the pigs. Too close and they have a "fight" reaction and charge you. Bulls are similar.

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.

[@chuckw4254]

No, it's not better than Jagerpro's trap. Jagerpro has a strict policy that zero hogs are transported live from there traps, which is in compliance with state laws. The transportation of live feral hogs is against the law. Drop them where you trap them.

[@alquinn3562]

@@chuckw4254 “state law” infers that different states have different laws.

[@dude999642]

Pigs make fine pets - George Cloony had one. I'm sure they take them home, give them cute names, and their daughters put cute ribbons on their heads.

[@alquinn3562]

Depends on state laws. Some places butcher and donate to food banks. Some people just relocate to other fenced areas for “ caged hunts” where people can pay to hunt them in 1000 acre plus enclosures. Some just shoot and leave them and let nature do what nature does. I have eaten them and they are lean and actually pretty tasty. I cut out the back straps and smoked them. Very good tasting. Next one I trap I’m using the other hams and shoulders. They have to be cooked thoroughly to kill disease potential. Deer have fleas and ticks and carry virus. You just have to consider the source of the meat and cook accordingly.

[@gorillazfan242]

@@alquinn3562 thanks for the info al I spent time in Italy for culinary school and had some wild boar there I loved it. I'm in Chicago so it's too bad there aren't any places close that would be trapping these guys I would love to buy one whole and break it down.

[@alquinn3562]

@@gorillazfan242 my son in law has a similar background as you. I hunt, but keep things pretty simple along the grilling and barbecue techniques. The son in law has gotten into hunting to see what he can do with wild game. We had some awesome Italian dishes made from venison meatballs also dove and duck ravioli. It kills me to see people kill them and leave them, but i also understand why it is done. The argument is that they cause millions in dollars in ag damage . Yet so do deer in ag and vehicular damage, deaths, hospitalizations etc. Hogs aren’t as cute I guess. They do taste great though.

[@questable259]

[@rowdeo8968]

I love the drop trap then this one!!!!!!! Different purposes. I think the one gets euthanized the other taken to the processor? I am not even remotely in a position to worry about hogs just think it is terribly destructive to our ranchers and farmers. To those who think shooting them is cruel no it is not. What they are doing to farms and ranches is cruel to the men and women wo work hard to grow our food. I respect the efforts all away around. We had a two and 1/2 acres veggie garden and worked hard at that so I know how scary it has to be when you are rolled up into your income with your work. So I say dispose of them and use the meat for something. They carry diseases fleas ticks etc so I personally would never eat one others do. My hats off to you for creating a way to at least get some of them. My daughter is ending her studies in mechanical engineer hire her shes at Carnegie Mellon Pittsburgh starting to look for work. I told her to develop a broom that stands up without constantly falling but yu need to work on the design to get those pigs out of the trap easier.
