Many deer hunters have been looking for an affordable, easy-to-use, effective trap for controlling feral hogs and catching entire “sounders” at once. The “Pig Brig” is the latest advancement, and we found it to be highly effective. NDA’s Lindsay Thomas Jr. was with his dad when he caught 32 hogs at one time, bringing his total to 71 hogs removed this spring.

Feral hogs are a growing problem for wildlife and habitat managers in many states. They compete with native wildlife for food, and they are especially good at stealing acorns and fruit from deer. They destroy food plots, plunder the eggs of ground-nesting birds, and consume a wide range of reptiles, amphibians and small mammals as they root the forest floor. Their high reproductive rate makes them difficult to control.

Trapping to remove entire “sounders” of feral hogs has been shown to be effective (A sounder is the name for large groups that usually include several adult sows and their offspring). Several styles of mechanical, metal traps are available and effective, but the Pig Brig is a passive trap that’s easier to transport and deploy. Hopefully it helps turn the tide against feral hogs wherever they invade.

The feral hogs trapped in this video were shared and donated for use as food.
