Now, you can  remotely activate the trap, moving it from the conditioning phase to the set phase. It’s compatible with all versions of the Pig Brig, so you can use i ..read more

Old Man Winter has packed up and headed north. Snow and ice have melted and the land is thawing. How will the spring green-up affect your feral hog trapping?  Spring is a time of transition, when life reemerges from the damp and fertile soil. That bait you’ve been leaving out under your Pig Brig® Trap System is less important to wild pigs now, because they have more options at mealtime, almost everywhere.  As the pigs become less dependent on bait for food, they may ignore your traps. They’ll show up at less predictable times — might even take a few days off between visits — and whe ..read more

It’s early in the season. You’ve labored long and hard to get your crop in the ground. You go out to the fields and check on the progress, but what you find is gut-wrenching. The field is dug up and your burgeoning crops have been eaten by feral hogs. All that money and time is lost. Your livelihood is threatened. You can’t turn back time, it’s too late to replant.

But seeing your land laid low never gets any eas ..read more

How to bait the trap. Sounds easy, right? Pigs like corn. And, if your trap is well placed, putting a pile of corn out will generally do the job.  The typical feed corn from the local co-op or Tractor Supply store is your best bait for trapping hogs in the South and Southwestern parts of the United States, especially for Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. In other parts of the world like Asia, Australia and Europe, any inexpensive, local grain will work. But there are a few things to keep in mind.  1. How does the season affect baiting a wild hog ..read more

  Having issues with livestock entering your trap?  We evaluated two electric fencing options to exclude cattle and horses from entering the Pig Brig Trap System or scratching their furry ol’ sides on the support posts.  The first used simple plastic step-in type electric fence supports, and the second used 5’ T-posts as dual-purpose electric fence supports and ground anchors.  Each system cost around $200 to purchase (from scratch), and both were 100% effective at keeping cattle and horses out of the trap system.  How do you like them apples? The Nitty Gritty Each ..read more

Nothing is more frustrating than having things where they are not supposed to be. “Hey honey, where’s my keys??” Think about this - a weed is only a plant growing in the wrong location. According to my wife, Raspberries in the flowerbeds are a problem, but they are perfectly ok in the garden. We can see a similar situation with deer while trapping pigs. We all love deer, right? We do, but they need to be in the right place. We have numerous customers removing pigs to improve deer hunting, but it is frustrating when those buggers steal your pig bait or spend their time hogging up your trap.&nb ..read more

This makes identifying the right location to set up your trap much easier, making even the most densely overgrown location accessible. Thankfully feral pigs make finding the right location easier for us than you might expect. They are, like most humans, creatures of habit. They like to find comfortable places where t ..read more
