How To Assemble A BoarBuster Hog Trap | Feral Hog Trap Setup 2017 

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Feral Hogs and BoarBuster Traps 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.

Great Design.... someone really thought this through

I believe it is the best and the only way to get rid of feral hogs.

RU-vid recommends: hey city boy...wanna see how to assemble a hog trap? Me: ......ok

Humans are so ingenious coming up with such traps!!!!!! Wonderful trap! I could have used this when rounding up my 8 children. Just throw a couple of steaks in the center and wait. Then cell phone drop! hose them down feed them put them in bed. lol Of course some social workers would have been on my case!

Muito bom 👍 sou aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

howdy from Sacramento. awesome piece of engineering! you'd think that someone would buy a bunch and rent them out as a business. anything that helps kill em all is good in my book. cheers!

Easier than IKEA furniture.

Great video : Ok , right tighty , lefty loosey ! Ok , got it.

Great if you have some very level ground to put it on

Eleven feral hogs disliked this video.

Com essa demora toda eu já tinha desistido de pegar esse porco🐷🐖😂

Ingenious

How does it compare to Jager Pro system? Cost, efficiency labor etc. If both systems work really well, feral hog problem is eliminated. So should there be a sustainable feral hog population?

Hi, can i copy and sell it?? Because it to expensive for us here, Indonesia, price and shipping. I offering you royalty for each sales. Or maybe you have another option?? I calculate that not more than $1000 to produce that here.

How much does this trap system cost I'm in east Texas

From Japan asking. I d like to have reasons why is it fall down to oblique ? I just thought it had better falling to straight down.

How much dose system coast?

Can you tow it assembled to other areas

Take and cook the feral pigs then send them off to"Crabbing ships"as deep sea crab bait.

Can I salughter the hog after captured?

Hope got signal

Trap too small, and net should be on the inside of the ring, instead of the outside, as this construction is less sturdy.

30”; get real. It really is a 2 person job. An hour minimum.
