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.

Jan. 25, 2021---Thing is, brother and his friend go hunting for hogs every year in Florida. He goes for the younger ones as he says their flesh taste better.
I'm honestly blown away by how fast these animals react to the trap coming down. WOW
Same, some of them almost escaped
They know the trap is there but can’t resist tasty bait 😂 so they play catch me if you can
Amazing reactions.
Can’t compare wild to domestic.
Not fast enough though......
What a fantastic way to put a dent in feral hog numbers, these people should get funding for this incredibly clever work, they are catching the next generation! Well done guys.
@Hun Soulo these pigs usually aren't good eating from what I hear.
@@ImperiumLibertas they can give it to Zoo for croc, alligator or other animals.
@@zunnur1 can they sell it to zoos?
@@ImperiumLibertas Why would that be? From what I'm reading online its safe and tastes good, they only warn against eating uncooked meat which is obvious by anyone who is not a caveman.
@@zunnur1zoos are terrible forms of human ignorance
Who ever fabricated the trap has my respect 👍
WELL DONE!
1:10 that breakdown and crazy circle pit afterwards tho 🔥🔥🔥
Honestly the funniest thing i've ever seen in a while. Mosh pits are so fun, even the hogs are doing them.
Their reaction time is incredible.
My thought too, would they not come in if the cages were suspended like halfway lower? They almost made it out, or at least under the falling cage.
The reason for that is because they have a much sharper hearing sense than we do, as well as smell. Those are there 2 main senses, and are needed for their survival since reacting very fast to a predator is how they stay alive in the wild
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess They are too fast
Wasn’t all that great or they wouldn’t be bacon and pork chops.
@@21paraflyer not like the bacon from stores is from wild pigs, maybe at one point before domestication but they like food clearly. Everyone's gotta eat
It's like a instant mosh pit after the trap drops and I love how the music goes with it
I hope the music plays live over a speaker when the trap falls.
@@EGarrett01if they go down, they might as well have one last mosh
@@EthanDyTiocoHah. I wonder how long it takes them to give up on running and just go back to eating.
Was literally coming to say better circle pits than your average local gig🤟🏻🤣
We have a huge hog problem on our cocoa farm, they wallow everywhere, climb trees to get fruit and tear up the trees. We do have a single trap that we put out but this! Is amazing. I will be telling my farm manager about this. People don’t understand how much these bore do damage.
At 0:07, the cage is released and hits the ground before reaching the 0:08 mark, meaning the hogs had just under a second to both react and escape.
What’s wild is that they nearly did. Before the cage had even fallen the first foot in about a quarter second most of the hogs started hauling it. Hats off to the designer of this trap for fine tuning it so well.
Yeah, just barely got one of the big boys. Perfect timing.
To the 5.5k that don't like this video, these pigs are an invasive species. This is about humane it comes. Great idea! Awesome fabrication guys👍🏻
@Alex Fracyon there is an extension that enables dislikes to be seen , thought i forgot the name of said extension, but it does exist
@@ulforcemegamon3094 I think it's return of the dislike button or something if that nature. It's in the chrome extension store.
Go v yourself!
Dislike number, now just a relic of the past
You can't see the dislike number button smh
It's like a mosh pit when the gate drops with this music playing 🤘😂
it's a wall of death then into a circlepit because you know... wild pigs are metal
Right on! 🤘
🤣
Use Shazam App
😓😓😓👎👎👎🤲🤲🤲☝️
Just brilliant design on the drop down enclosure. Incredible. Props all the way around. 👏
I'm always amazed with how many piglets there are in a 'herd'.
These pigs seem to generate massive amounts of offspring.
I hope you keep them at bay!
If you look at other species of pig (Red River Hog, warthog, javelina, Bornean bearded pig) they don't have nearly as many piglets as ferals. Domestic pigs have way more babies.
Why did you put herd in quotation marks?
Their reaction time though is pretty insane.
Some of them almost made it out.
Almost…
@@albatross6221 😂😂😂😂
By an inch or a mile. Winning is winning
@@sovannv you never had me, you never had your car…
@@Theuniverseisstrangewhat
they weren't to interested in the corn when that cage dropped...lol
Thank you. Beat me to it by a year...
👍
so far that's the best trap I've seen. way to go fellas
This is pretty awesome! I love how well that went together 🤘
You can almost hear the local ecosystem sighing with a moment of relief knowing there's that many less feral pigs tearing up the place haha
who cares about the ecosystem.. they are wild pigs eating as much as a wild animal does, a cat how ever just kills for fun and far more than it eats and is far more destructive. pigs are hated coz they destroy crops other wise we would hardly notice them.. in NSW.
Leslie Grayson
You speak from a place of ignorance.

They effect much more than just crops. Waterway quality, erosion, plant biodiversity, animal biodiversity... the list goes on.
And bringing cats into it is a strawman argument. I wasn't saying anything about cats and am certainly not defending the damage feral and outdoor cats have done.
Also, lots of people care about the ecosystem haha
lol rekt
Leslie Grayson not who cares about the ecosystem? I think lots of people do. why would there be a DNR or US wildlife fish and game. matter of fact. why should there be any biologist or WHY SHOULD WE EVEN CARE ABOUT POLLUTION. just saying
I thought boars are actually part of the ecosystem, they tear, eat and poo, clean and nourish the environment.
A man his tools and a little time never ceases to amaze me. Good job.
Underrated comment. Problem > Idea > Solution. Ingenuity.
Awesome video! I love the tandem drop!
Never tire of the drop. Great music!
Their reactions when the trap drops are so quick that I'm surprised you get as many as you do.
If it came down slowly and quietly they probably would just let it happen.
Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!"
Need to do a remix where it pauses just for a moment & edits the Admiral in.
Wicked cool design and incredibly effective! Awesome product and video.
Ah yes one of the minigame to catch goombas in Mario Party
When to drop it...hardest decision
Yep
It’s crazy how they knew that was a trap I say that because how they all went to escape hard for me to explain
King Motley i think anything that loud would make them spook and run off
It’s very likely, pigs are the smartest animals after apes and dolphins.
@@JarodShapiro j
You need to put it in slow monttion when the trap falls, those hogs are really fast!
you can slow the video down for yourself just fyi
LOL, they would be all gone
Even at slow motion they try to escape as soon as the fences started dropping =0
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know I could slow the video down (or speed it up) great to know.
@@AVB2 you can move it freeze frame by frame using the comma and period key on a keyboard as well.
great job guys, thank you for the video
Love how intense the music is
I'll bet this system costs a pretty penny but this seems about the most effective way to get rid of these pests. On the plus side that's a shitload of pork to divvy up amongst your friends!
Expensive? Not compared to helicopters and AR-15s that people use for this purpose.
The money made from selling the meat would probably cover the cost of the trap.
You cant eat the meat from feral hogs, the hormones they secrete get into it and makes it taste horrible.
@@boxybrown5300 thought feral ones are the tastiest. Hormones are secreted by all I guess.
@@boxybrown5300 What? Over here, wild pigs are the most delicious meat you can get (even though 10% are still too radioactive to be eaten, thanks Chernobyl).
Looks like the best way to get a bunch at one time. Very nice trap and kudos to the inventors.
Love that the music is like a mission in command and conquer.
And the guys walk out like, "Ah, Mr Bond, how do you like the cage?"
I have seen videos of the two major hog catching systems and IMHO this system is better than the other because the hogs in the other system must pass through a gate (or two) and they are very cautious about entering into the enclosure. With this system there is no enclosure.
Question, surely every once in awhile a hog gets caught under the fence when it drops. I assume the other hogs then use the opening created by the body of that hog as an escape route?
I've seen a video where one or two pigs are fast enough to get their snout and forelegs under the falling fence but they instantly back up to free themselves they don't push forward to get out. The whole thing takes a split second. There is no opportunity for other pigs to exploit that.
wow their reaction speed is so fast, most are taking off while the cage is still falling
Wild board's thoughts when the trap falls: "We have been swindled"
I'm curious as to how the traps work? Are they manual or do they have some sort or trip wire thing? City boy here just curious lol

Still an under-appreciated comment.
Once again proving that the ingenuity of the Sapien Ape is an Apex Predator.
What a great catch man
I feel like theses hogs with the 600 dollars stimulus package 📦 😂😂
Man nice set up
Right on! Impressive invention.
The timing of the drop was immaculate.
Wow! So awesome! Online how you timed it perfectly so they were all in the cages! Brilliant work and video thank you!!!
These videos of capturing delicious food. Just makes my mouth water.
To those that dont know, after the video ends the hunters hug and kiss every pig individually and then lets them go
Love how the hogs keep running back and forth like maybe next time there will somehow be an opening there.
45 pigs at once? Some might say, "Hogwash!"
Actually, it's more like a hog mosh.
😎
You must be a dad.
Ramy Swar Why? Because he listens to Anthrax? 😆
Words is Ullfric Stormcloak escaped. Sounds like a bunch hogwash to me.
How expensive are one of these units and have they been tried for use in Australian landscape?
I know very little about wild boar problems, but the ingenuity and humane effectiveness is amazing! Well done!
(The quickness on some of those suckers is scary btw😬)
Very impressive system!!! This going to help a lot land owners out.
Yes, we need to do everything we can to help out land owners
@@robinsearles5771 I know your comment is sarcastic one. But seeing as the land owners are the ones the grow the food you eat... YES! Farmers should be helped out by keeping governments off their back.
You knew...that I was being. Sarcastic.
Your words, like perfumed blood clots...
@@robinsearles5771**old man shakes his fist at the sky**
1:09 wow they have a pretty quick instinct ... ran for the exit even before the traps were half-way down.
it's a slow slanted release system, just fast enough to lock them. I've seen some pigs getting whammed by the falling fence.
Remember there are no free lunches. Next stop for them is the rib shack.
Excelente trabajo chicos
I love how the traps fall right after the kick drum at 1:09 haha! Mosh!!!
Straight to the point. Love this
-Hey, Jonas.
-what?
-look at that large metal cage above our heads!
- what about it?
-Lets go inside!
How do you get them out of the trap? Do you shoot them in the trap and just haul the carcasses away?
"REEEEE ITS A TRAP!"
Credit card advert...
Ok Karen. Good one.
I had no idea that wild pigs moved in big groups like that. They are quite rare here in Finland. I've never seen one in the wild.
Here in the USA, states south of the Mason-Dixon line have the problem of feral hogs with Texas having the most. The outlier(s) are California(10th) and Hawaii(9th) and Oklahoma(7th).
Surprised about that, here in Estonia they're fairly common nuisance
@@industrialathlete6096yes, we in California have a substantial population and are a huge nuisance. In my area they destroy water lines among other destruction . As far as I know, one can hunt / trap them year round.
True, worrying seeing a bunch of hogsby how invasive they are

Fantastic invention. Well done 👏.
thank god, those 2 nice guys showed up to help out the nice pigs
I just recently found out about this Infestation of feral pigs we have in the US, living in Seattle and not having this problem here, many people im sure are not aware of it. For the people that do live with these issues I hope the state doesn't put up any laws that would benefit these wild animals that cause 1.5 Billions in damage each year.
You better hope that it doesn’t become a problem on the west coast. They definitely will protect them. The cities on the west coast never cease to amaze.
NYS banned hunting them. The reasoning being- feral pigs are smart and learn quickly, and they multiply like rabbits. So if you kill one or two, the rest of the group will scatter, and end up forming several new groups. It’s like picking a dandelion and shaking the seeds to kill it. To eliminate the feral pigs, they are trying to trap and destroy entire herds at once, without any escaping. Time will tell if it’s an effective strategy.
This is great. So much more efficient. Makes an almost impossible task easier.
Music is so hard like catching a dinosaur instead a boar😂😂
fake
incredible! great vid!
We need these in Australia, wild pigs cause massive amounts of damage to our environment and farming land, it is a massive issue !!
That's how ecosystem works stop encroaching their home
@@nandanshetty1624 it's not their home, they are an invasive species that destroys the local ecosystem.
@@nandanshetty1624 No, thats not how it works.
It's about 100 vietnamese people, they can solve that problem for your country, it's free.
@@nandanshetty1624 stop acting like you know what you’re talking about.
Amazing!! Good job!!
I love how they go batshit nuts when the traps drop-
Great job! Keep it up!
Excellent timing. I can not be 100 percent sure from the camera angle but it seems you got all of them.
Saw a few escape, but not many, compared to how many were caught! This method is excellent!
I know you CAN process wild boar mean. I'm curious as to how much that produced?
I like when the traps drop. The pigs start moshing to death music
This is an awesome device. Hunters try but there are not enough hunters to bring down the numbers of these pests fast enough. 45 pigs trapped at one time will make a difference - gets the piglets too.
This is just incredibly crazy cool. Very innovative and effective approach. It doesn't kill the animal and it traps very effectively. Heavy background music made my heart pump in suspense!
All of those hogs were definitely killed later
Ye they get shot while trapped. On the field they get away when shot. It is effective for sure. Trap the buggers and one tap them at close range.
@@TheJuvenalisHow can they "one tap" all the hogs? That's certainly not what happens
Never gets old
They react so quickly to the cage dropping it almost looks simultaneous.
Haha that was gnarly! Crazy drop catch.
Relocated to the freezer
Always the best relocating 🥶
I get a strange sense of satisfaction watching this.
Probably the coolest mosh pit I’ve seen
Love how the trap is effective, but does anyone know the name of the music?
It's in the credits.
I didn't hear anything I would honor with the title "music". There was some semi-organized noise in the background, however.
It's called, Pork, it's what's for dinner!
That's awesome , feed the hungry that really need it !
Keep up the great work 👍
Hey as long as it works, wonder if we could do a similar thing for Kudzo (the southern US ivy plague)
What do they do to the hogs after catching them?
They kill them. That’s the only thing they can do.
That added, cliche rock music in the background is such a classy touch
boscoblack Lousy musick.

I'm curious, what do you do with them once they are captured? I have had several of my customers here in Texas say they are good to eat, but others that frown on eating them.
They elect them to congress

very good trap and got a lot too thank you for the sher video
