I've trapped about 80 in the last few months in Washington county. I put a picture on the local facebook group with a "Free Pigs" caption after I caught the first bunch and they were all gone in a couple of hours. Now one guy comes and gets all I can catch. Its an entertaining diversion. Transferring from trap to horse trailer is the only part we have not quite worked out.

Keep in mind in Texas, it is effectively illegal to relocate feral hogs. There are some odd exceptions (male only going to a hunting preserve with a hog resistant fence).

I did not know this

Been that way for over 10 years.

I have a Hog Brig Trap and it's great. I did fabricate a 4 ft wide loading gate and attached inline with the net. 1st time we trapped 27 hogs and the 2nd time 10 hogs. When I don't have hog activity I strap the netting up and leave the trap in place. When I see hog activity I bait wait for a few days, watch my game camera (it works with a phone app and a website) then I set the netting and wait. I had the gate made because it makes it easier to load the hogs into a trailer. I learn that on the 1st trapping. I don't kill them because its a mess to clean up and there are local guys here that will pick them up to sale to game reserves.The hogs do rush the sides but the net holds them. It gives and stretches but will not bust. I like the trap because I don't have to watch it to trip the gate like my big metal panel trap that cost 8,000.00. The Hog Brig cost way less and is much easier to use. The only improvement I suggest is adding a loading gate. Its a snap.

Is this for the tree huggers who want to "humanely relocate" pigs as opposed to just killing all of them?

You didn't watch the video. One minute there is a group of hogs inside the circle and the next a group of dead hogs.

Gorilla marketing needs to be a BIT more subtle.

Now - it could be a 100% true testimonial about a great product... but it is a bit on the nose snout.

Yes, the Fayette County Agrilife Extension just purchased 5 with a grant they received. Plan on renting them out.
