On the surface, this seems so sad. But in reality, it's a necessity to keep the hard working farmers alive without losing tons of money to such animals.
@@hollyridgehomesteadThank you for your hard work doing an important job. I think the best way to explain the problem is to show people the before and after damage to the land especially the wetlands they destroy. First time viewer so idk how you normally give the meat away but you may consider posting it online in the morning after you spring the trap if you haven't already tried that. I'd like to see or hear the weight (or estimate) of some of the 🐗 and if you do any cooking that's always cool in my book too.
As a chef, I'd like to see that meat land on a plate! Maybe videos on processing, cutting/wrapping, preparing for needy folks and smiling faces on those receiving prepared/smoked meat. Good PR, too! Nothing goes to waste.
This is the only time of year we usually don’t give the meat away. Extremely hot here and we are catching them in such rural areas the meat will go bad before it can get processed. We don’t like wasting our resources. Thanks for watching!
Now this is the proper way to do a video about eliminating the hogs. Not too much talking about nothing and allowing the entire process to be videoed. What we want to see mostly is the moment when the gate closes trapping the hogs and when you send them to the promised land without cutting too much out. Thanks.
@@hollyridgehomesteadyou did pretty daamn great with the little ol duece duece mare's leg! Need to add a nice 300black out or 6.8spc rifle to your collection.... the 6.8spc takes boar and buck like a champ! I love it. When ammo is out I drop down to the 556 or 300aac.
That type of trap is a true game changer. Hopefully, overtime, these efforts along with this type of equipment will be effective in controlling these pests.
We see the some change in the areas where I have been trapping The landowners are telling me they have less activity in the area and neighbors properties
I always love the sounds of cicadas on a summer day. I know they're super loud, but for some reason it just reminds me of my childhood. Building forts in the woods on a hot long summer day
That is usually the case when a big boar shows up late in night. I had a couple of mature sows in there and you he was looking for some girlfriends. Thanks for watching!
Funny thing, the man is standing in the truck bed talking about how he is afraid of the big boar loose in the field while the (presumably unarmed) wife appears to be standing on the ground by the truck.
you are the only hog trapper hunter that has a Glock on his belt. Man I sure would also. Make it a 45 or even a 10mm. Heck even a 9mm with a lot of rds if needed.
These feral hogs, are an invasive species in the United States and they cost farmers and ranchers millions of dollars in lost revenue. It’s a serious problem in the United States. A female hog can reproduce at the age of six months. Educate yourself, before telling somebody not to kill them.
Good job. I'm glad you are catching some hogs. I haven't trapped any hogs this year. All the farmers and land owners, are letting the north Carolina usda trap there hogs. And the land owners are letting people hog hunt with dogs for free. I can't catch a break. Keep up the good work brother
Well that’s a bummer! I have noticed some government trapping programs going on in my area also. I did have one customer keep me informed of the trap they used and how many they caught. They managed to catch a small sounder and took blood samples for testing. They didn’t stay long on his property. It didn’t bother to much or discourage me. But by all means, I’m not making a living at this. We do it for family time and helping others when we can. Keep up with your community and continue to make an impact when you can. Thanks for watching!
@@pollypenson8750 so that boar showed up late in the night. The big boar I trapped was still in there. I’m assuming after my .22 bounced off his head, he ran for the hills. Never seen him since. I still have the trap there to monitor it hoping maybe he would come back. But he was there for the ladies.
@@hollyridgehomestead ok thanks for letting me know!!! It’s was amazing to see how high they can jump!!! Also looking forward to see how house is coming along!!! Especially your wife’s cabinets!!!
So the last catch, it was over 100 degrees that day. We were there early in the morning. When it came time to handle them, they had a very unusual smell to them. I have messed with hogs this time of year a lot. This is one group that no body wanted to attempt to process. The landowner decided to bury them so no wild life would get sick or spread any diseases. Wild pigs carry some many diseases you really have to be careful. Thanks for watching
@@hollyridgehomestead ohhh thank you for explaining that, I thought it was jargon in pig trapping circle. Take care and thanks for the amazing videos you put out :)
Trap is awesome, so is the work you're doing. Would recommend a .22wmr, fmj's from one won't bounce off the thickest skull. Not a great deal more expensive than .22lr.
You are right about that. Not everyone can understand or handle this process. Thats one reason we get a lot of hateful comments. But I can see their side of it especially when they are not raised around this or experience the issue of dealing with feral hogs.
Im surprised these traps are not designed with an overhang type of barrier at the top. You can see the hog jumping at 7:08. He nearly made it. If the traps had a slanted panel at the top it would make it much harder for the hogs to escape, so not sure why they didnt design that in?
Possibly a slanted top would make transporting them more difficult unless there was a way for it to be made adjustable for transport. Not sure. Good video. Good job.
@@hollyridgehomestead Since you have electricity right there would it be possible to wire something up that would give the Hogs a shock if they jump high enough. Easy enough to wire and to disassemble when you are ready to move on.
I'm a hunter, I would really like to hog hunt, but haven't yet. I'm wondering what you all do with all that meat? From what I hear the meat is amazing. Thanks for your time. Be blessed, be a blessing.
It’s interesting they don’t make any noise when their buddies are killed. I mean, they do travel with each other so there must be some socialization there.
They don't scream in fear of death as they have no idea of the lethality of the gun. They just react irritated that their collegues go down one-by-one and make strange feet movements before falling asleep
Looks like a lot of fun. This is an interesting situation. Those wild pigs initially got loose from the very farmers they are now pestering. My guess is that with all that open space and all that available food stuffs plus the ability of a sow to have 2 liters of a dozen piglets per year and you get a hot mess that cannot be solved. Stay hydrated! You will be busy as long as you want. Maybe even retire from this? Bless
Actually the Spanish released Eurasian boars into North America, to reproduce and be a source of food. There are wild, feral, domestic pigs in the mix, also.
I wish you guys luck out there.. I've seen footage of how destructive they are. It's crazy how much larger the sounders seem to be getting compared to 3-4 years ago.
Can you mix some beer or whiskey with the corn to make the hogs stay calm and not go "HOG WILD" ? Some hypnotic music or a hog snoring ? How about some Nytol or Tylenol PM ?
Just found your video, looks like you do a worth while job clearing pigs from the farmers property. You do need a bigger gun maybe .38 spl underlever. Anyway keep up the good work would love to have a go. But I'm in the UK...

Well this is definetely proof that a .22 will take down a hog. Of course the shot placement has to be correct. Plus having them in a trap helps quite a bit lol.
Thank goodness you didnt load them up.... ( alive ) !!! Its about getting rid of the hogs....not making money from them ! Give them away as your doing..after they are dead ! Need to work with that rifle......put a scope on it. Should be able to hit a quarter sized target at 100 yards ( that is with about a 6 inch drop....zeroed at 50 yards ) Sub-sonics most times are much more accurate ! I guess thiat is a lever action rifle......most of them are not that accurate though.
Need to just start carrying a bigger gun for ones like that. That has only happened a few times. Sometimes I will go out with my thermal and take care of the ones that show up. I’m all about getting rid of them. They don’t leave my trap alive. Done that one time before and learned my lesson.
@@hollyridgehomestead Exactly... Relating to a bigger gun.... well.... accuracy is far more important. Can take down a deer dead on the spot with a 22 lr using sub-sonics. But true... cant hurt to use a larger rifle. Could have taken that hog out at 400 yards....dead !
@@jerrylansbury9558 very true. I did nail him in the head but the angle of him looking at me the.22 lr bounced off. I’m just glad he decided that revenge wasn’t worth it and headed off.
Ehhhh, pay no attention to the city folk. IF McDonalds shut down theyd die off. Keep that in mind, the mindset here is weak. Great work!! Semper Fidelis
On the surface, this seems so sad. But in reality, it's a necessity to keep the hard working farmers alive without losing tons of money to such animals.

The pigs are learning to jump, ever heard of the "Hundredth Monkey"??? True story!
When it's not too hot temperature-wise, how do you go about finding people to give them to?
I have a list of people saved that I contact and they will come get them before putting them down. That way they are fresh before processing.
@@hollyridgehomestead Roger that. How do you develop the list? Personal networking? Charities? Church groups?

7:03 they'll soon evolve to be able to jump over the cage. Then you'll need a roof for the cage too! LOL
This is very important work but it's still pang worthy to see them terrified for just existing. No easy task and I do alot of home slaughter.
