- Some viewers falsely believe nursing juveniles cannot survive without their mother's milk and assume the piglets will certainly die after the sow is killed. This segment will follow two, four-week old, pigs for an entire month as they avoid predators and thrive after their mother was removed from the equation. We demonstrate why trap panel selection is such an important decision when implementing a successful Integrated Wild Pig Control™ (IWPC) program.
The M.I.N.E.™ Trapping System using our Capture Success Matrix™ proves to an efficient control method saving fuel, time and labor over traditional processes.

Interesting! I had no idea that piglets could actually survive, and thrive, under these dangerous conditions.
Those two just got lucky.
Same
Sav Atl I agree because noway would they be able to avoid predators for long especially a fox
Same here, but now we know!
They are not easy to control that's why they are so destructive no matter what method you use they keep coming back unfortunately.

+JAGER PRO™ Are y'all in Texas? Where ever this footage was taken, you have a serious pig problem. Great video, great analysis.
FUCK THOSE “SOME VIEWERS”... yall shouldnt care what uneducated viewers think honestly
Ya'll have the best media group ever. You can get your media group to sell anything, I was thoroughly enthralled, amused and entertained by the presentation
does it work with mothers in law? asking for a friend
Hal well it is an observation of wild pigs so I would assume it should work
ROFL!!
Me too! Lol
This was a great video - educational and entertaining. Very informative. Happy to see your team put down the feral pigletts.
The Coyotes and Bobcats should be ashamed of themselves.
This is actually one of the most scientific wild life videos I've ever seen. Almost looks like a serious research project, great stuff!
Damn worthless bobcats and coyotes... Can't even catch orphaned piglets.
"I practically gift wrapped those cubs for you, and you couldn't even dispose of them."
I've watched this video before, but this time I got to wondering if those piglets would've survived by actually foraging for food that whole time, without all of that free corn.
They would be making more noise drawing attention to them. But the predators could still follow them in the trap area.
you guys are great! Love from South Africa :)
great research.....
Looks like you got a great business.
To the folks at JAGER PRO: Great product video. We have a similar problem but our uninvited guest are much smaller. RATS and MICE. We hadn't been on our new vacant property very long and planned a short trip in our motor home, but when hubby went to check out A/C and other electrical things, they didn't work, because the rats and mice were dinning on the wires. Didn't take long to figure it out. So we bait traps regularly SNAP, dead, and fed to our resident Ravens.
Valuable psychological and biological intelligence. Well done.
I have noted you are very successful with your efforts and I appreciate your detailed descriptions of your tools and methods. What are your preferred methods for disposal of carcasses, assuming not all animals can or will be processed?
My mouth starts to water seeing these delicious pieces of walking food.Their sounds sounds like tasty food also.
You need to invent hog condoms
Nobby Norberto I think they already exist. It’s just a matter of getting the pigs to use them.
Just when I was starting to become emotionally attached to them. Geez.
It's normal, unless hogs damage your property☺
I was gonna start a Scholarship Fund to U of Arkansas..
I shot a sow out in West Texas a few years ago. Shot her a little bit back and she ran about 75 yards. When I got up to her, her piglets had already found her and were milking on her carcass. They still had their stripes and they survived too. I was pretty surprised.
The progress you have made with capture of wild pigs is remarkable.
Love this vid.
Hi, What is Jager Juice? We'd have a use for something like that.
2:05-2:20. Like robust individuals on a cruise ship when fresh mac n cheese hits the buffet line
Why were the mother hog (and later the piglets) were rubbing into the tree? Was it to leave their scent? Also what did you applied to the same tree?
+Ahmet Berke Kevser Feral pigs are notorious for damaging pine trees in the United States because they strip the bark off the tree to rub the sticky pine sap onto their body. The pine sap acts as a natural pesticide against fleas, lice and ticks in the wild. We are developing a product which promotes their natural rubbing behavior to assist our camera intelligence gathering procedure and our "Integrated Wild Pig Control" model.
Lovely, tasty baked pigs. Should put a paste of batter made out of flour, Non rennet cheese, salt and pepper and syrup on the pigs and let them bake lying down like that. They would taste so good@ 4:54.
i had to keep and care for pigs because my brother thought it'd be a good idea to have them and when piglets happened they'd escape on a daily basis from the regular hog panel or whatever it's called.
Can't watch anymore of these videos!Too sad!Murdering baby pigs!Love all animals!At least let them grow up!
That’s the whole point. They are not welcome here, they cause environmental damage as well as crop damage. I just hope I get a chance to hunt hogs before they’re all gonex
@@vickivicevickihartman4272 I take it you are on the side of all the invasive rabbits and horses in Australia as well
Wow I want to buy one of those traps, damn I’m hungry 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I enjoy your videos sir, you should be on discovery channel or animal planet
They are so cute.
JAGER PRO tm once enclosed and slaughtered for consumption they are benefited ??
Maybe you've answered this before but if you're texting to close the traps then I am assuming you have a cellular radio somewhere in the mix that has to be capable of receiving all the time. What are the power requirements for something like that and how does your system maintain a healthy power level?
Our JAGER PRO M.I.N.E.™ Camera contains a cellular module and motion detector operating on 12 each AA Lithium batteries. We also manufacture a 6V, 12 Amp/Hour external battery box (power supply) which operates the camera for 45-60 days. The M.I.N.E.™ Camera sends text photos to your cell phone or computer when there is motion at the trap or bait site. An operator uses the JAGER PRO Camera App to trigger the control box and close the M.I.N.E.™ gate from their home or office. The JAGER PRO Camera App offers several features allowing users to remotely check the battery level, check cellular signal strength, change camera settings, change trigger settings, change wireless settings and view photos.
JP, the pig warning to the rest of the sounder,that exact call,can you record & play back using,,,sic, 'this food source is safe,everyone,cmonin & have at it'
Those panels look like they would work well for my miniature goat kids that keep going through panels sometimes up to 6 months old.
Feel free to purchase our 18-60™ panels through an Authorized Dealer jagerpro.com/product/18-60-trap-panel/.
the Mine Control looks like a Claymore, maybe that's how they take out the trapped pigs.
How were they able to avoid predators so well? I'd assume even a feral dog would make quick work
We suppose being the fourth most intelligent animal on the planet has something to do with their impressive survival skills.
Wonder what would happen if you put a trough out there with fermented corn sour msfh. Would they even eat it? Or stumble around in a drunken stupor
@9:15 we decided to conclude our research project.. and then shows dead piglets... too funny 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
What's in the Jäger juice?
did the larger group just moved to another location? guess we'll never know. there's a lot of work into this, thanks.
We purposely orphaned both litters to demonstrate how well juveniles avoid predators and survive without their mother. Then we captured both litters when they were two-months old. It is common for multiple sounders to overlap the same territory. The sounder arriving at the end of this video is captured on "32 Pigs in 10 Days With JAGER PRO Hog Traps" ua-cam.com/video/SjJlAC74coU/v-deo.html.
those piglets are tuff
'
what is this bucket with a liquid pour on the tree
great research
More vids?
Who the heck thinks that???? These are tenacious beasts!!!
Do you guys ever use granulated dry molasses to attract hogs. We used to use it in Michigan, but not for hogs.
No, but our experience shows us that whole-sounder success has little to do with the type of bait or attractant used. The explanation for cautious feral swine behavior is the result of a previous failed attempt by an inexperienced person using a less effective product (i.e. portable box trap, narrow gate, trip wire, etc.) against the fourth most intelligent animal on the planet. Any pigs outside the trap when gates are triggered will learn from the experience and become "trap resistant" to future metal objects. This is the reason we promote whole-sounder lethal control. Removing the entire sounder at one time prevents any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process or product.
@@JAGERPRO Yes, that makes sense and I get that. I know your objective is to eliminate an entire sounder but my next question: As I watch these videos from hunters who's stated objective is to eradicate the hogs, I never hear anyone talk of a targeting preference for females. It seems that targeting females, when you have a choice and can discern the sex, that the females would be the chosen target.
@@uralbob1 - Think of it as pest control instead of hunting. Feral pig sounders are killed for the same reason termite swarms and rat colonies are killed. Male termites perform the same residential damage as female termites. Boars cause the same amount of crop damage and environmental damage to native vegetation, soil properties and water quality as sows. Hog Control Operators™ should only use methods and technologies capable of whole-sounder lethal control to prevent any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process or product.
Yes, the four week old pigs survived, but you were feeding them ! Whether they could have done so without that is open to question.
There's no questioning it, we've orphaned several groups of pigs ranging from different ages. We kept close monitoring with cameras at various locations, they will survive without their mother.
They survived the predators but not the human element.
Why do they like pine?
Are these pigs eaten or do they carry diseases that impede their consumption?
Pigs are killed inside the trap enclosure because it is illegal in most states to transport feral swine alive. The US Department of Agriculture does not allow wild pork donations directly to food banks due to swine brucellosis and the pseudorabies virus. However, this does not mean wild pork cannot be eaten. It is fantastic table fare, but very important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 165 degrees. Most feral pigs harvested by JAGER PRO™ personnel are either processed by guests or donated (on the hoof) to local families and churches for food.
ever thout of a roasted pig restaurant biz?
Has there ever been evidence of pigs from a sounder being eaten by a predator before you trapped the rest?
No. Feral pigs are NOT native to North America which means they do not belong in the United States and have no natural predators. The largest concentration of feral pig populations is in southern states where a healthy bear, coyote, bobcat and fox population already exists. Wild pork rarely exceeds 5% of predator stomach content research according to peer-reviewed and published academic research. These predators only catch wounded, sick or lame piglets.
@@JAGERPRO I'm not surprised as they're lightning quick & would be a match for most predators aside from wolves, cougars or bears. I'm just surprised how the eco system works with the introduction of non native species I would still expect predators to feast on them lol. More for the poor you feed I guess. Thanks for reply
Why not delete the sow while it’s still pregnant?
They do if she is caught in the Trap.
Is there any (human) food value to these small piglets?
Mission success is based solely on removing the entire sounder from each property since whole-sounder lethal control prevents any pig from escaping, surviving, reproducing or being educated to the removal process. Whether a non-native, agricultural pest is eaten or not has no value in the "damage management" decision-making process. Just as removing all termites, rats and cockroaches from your home to stop future residential damage is more important than ensuring all captured pests are eaten. Insect versus mammal makes no difference to the legal definition of a pest or the Best Management Practices needed to control them. The total number of wild pigs we successfully donate has no bearing on the number of animals we must euthanize. The United States cannot BBQ our way out of the feral swine problem. Any carcasses NOT used for food are buried per Department of Agriculture regulations.
That's a lot of meat. Do you end up feeding people with it all?

This was the only video where I wanted the pigs not to die 😂😂
where is this
Georgia. The JAGER PRO staff consists of 10 retired Soldiers from Fort Benning with 220 years of combined military training and experience.
At 9:20 both “dead” piglets are moving.
If extraterrestrial life has visited earth, they probably shared media similar to this, following the trials and tribulations of our paleo-Indian ancestors.
That upright dorsal hair is unusual for feral hogs isn't it? More like wild varities!
Feral pigs are NOT native to North America. A feral pig is the same terminology as a wild pig. The illegal transportation and release of feral pigs for recreational hunting purposes is the primary reason for our current problem. Sport hunters are directly responsible for the abrupt surge in population harmfully impacting agriculture, native vegetation, native wildlife, soil properties and water quality in the United States.

lol that's a lot of roast pork, jealous!
You talk about predators a lot in this video, and that got me thinking, what's the thought process when a pig is missing from a sounder? It seems like it would make confirming 100% capture difficult. It could rotting in a thicket, or you could have a situation like this. It looks like you caught deuce and her sister when you did because you figured the piglets were dead which leaves me confused.
The entire purpose of this video was to prove a Certified Wildlife Biologist from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) wrong. He stated, "It does not matter what kind of trap panels are used because nursing juveniles cannot survive without their mother's milk." So we purposely captured Deuce and her sister in order to video both (4-week old) pigs for an entire month to demonstrate why trap panel selection is such an important decision when implementing a successful Integrated Wild Pig Control™ (IWPC) program. All indications point towards both of these piglets surviving to reproduce. Our decade of research indicates predators rarely catch pigs unless juveniles become sick, wounded or lame. This video demonstrated the piglets avoided predators and thrived after their mother was killed. It is not difficult to confirm 100% captures if enough cameras are utilized to gather the intel.
JAGER PRO™ This post implies that you assumed that the piglets were alive, but for some reason without their mothers two nights in a row while they went to feed, and therefore missing, and I think, presumed dead, for two days before the capture of Deuce and her sister. Springing a capture without all the pigs accounted for is something you repeatedly stress _not_ to do, and strongly implies that you chose to observe the piglets after the fact since they were a picture perfect control group of easily targeted piglets that pose no educational threat, so I'm just confused. How did you know they were alive, or were you more ambivalent, thinking dead is dead, and if alive, bound to make for a good experiment?
As for "all indications point towards both of these piglets surviving to reproduce", the footage speaks for itself. That biologist sounds incredibly ignorant, and I would be pretty pissed if I found out my hog exterminator left stray piglets on my property, sow or no sow. It seems like a generally unprofessional thing to do in the first place.
We observed both sows and both piglets on video at the pine rub during daylight hours so we knew they were still alive. We can only assume the piglets preferred the warmth of their nest instead of crossing cold creeks with their mother during 16 degree overnight temperatures. The NRCS wildlife biologist's ignorant comments made our decision easy to go against Standard Operating Procedures.
JAGER PRO™ Thanks for answering my questions.
9:15: Ha ha ha, I'm so impressed with how you payed god with these pigs. First you decide on the deaths of their mothers, and then you let the piglets go but you maintain god-like control over their lives as you track them while planning the day of their deaths, and then when they've fulfilled your allotment of days for them, they go the same way of the earth as their mothers did.
1:26: ..."as her vagina would begin to swell"... I am impressed that you would shamelessly talk about an animal vagina like that. Great going. Do human females do that too prior to giving birth?
Yes
I was beginning to like the two young 'uns. Too bad they had to go.
Get rid of the piglets to great baby back ribs
:)
The USA has like 10,000 Big Cats, owners should feed them feral hogs. Better yet throw them in a cage and let the lions and tigers practice hunting skills they lack.
Schweinjaeger vor!
So you are feeding them and they are surviving? Woop dee do.
This video was produced to educate a government Certified Wildlife Biologist who falsely believed nursing, four-week old piglets could not survive without their mother's milk and assumed the piglets would die after the sow was killed. This video demonstrated why trap panel selection is such an important decision when implementing a successful Integrated Wild Pig Control™ (IWPC) program. Escaped piglets from a cattle panel or sheep panel will ultimately survive, reproduce and become educated to the trapping process and product.
@@JAGERPRO Your trapping videos are terrific. Shooting the pigs makes zero sense. Your method works very well. Have things gotten better in Texas and elsewhere with trapping?
@@robertstv8045 - There are several factors which determine whether counties "get better" after a successful Integrated Wild Pig Control™ (IWPC™) program has been implemented. Future reproduction and migration would have to come from adjacent properties since an effective IWPC™ program would prevent escapes, method education and reproduction from the entire generation of feral pigs living on the property. Are neighboring landowners implementing a successful IWPC™ program? Are there enough trained Hog Control Operators™ in the county to effectively implement the IWPC™ program? Has the state passed legislation to stop intrastate and interstate transportation of feral pigs? How well are law enforcement personnel enforcing these rules in the state? Are judges and the court system prosecuting those breaking the rules with heavy fines? How many criminals are illegally transporting and releasing new feral pig populations in the county? Every county greatly depends on the answers to the above questions.
@@JAGERPRO Unfortunately helicopter shoots with rich people sending their money stupidly = money does not talk it screams. Your way is methodical and sensible. Suppression shooting is humane.
When your trying to eradicate the wild hog then it would be advintagus if the piglets did die if the mother was removed. But of course the people who have NO understanding of wild hogs and all the damage they do want to cry about the cute little pigs dying without their mother. All loud mouth whiners should be made to work ranches and farms and any other industry damaged by over abundant wild hog populations. Whiners being made responsible for the farms outcomes. After all their work and being held responsible would shut their unknowing whining mouth's, or at least give them a true understanding of what it takes to feed America and at times the world. As it's said, they want to enjoy the benefits but don't want to know how the sausage is made. And that's the problem with America's protected society. All the big mouth's want a say when they have no idea how anything they're whining about works.
Our experience (after 13 years in the industry) is the only people who harbor tender feelings towards feral pigs are those who have never lived around them or observed their destruction of agriculture, native vegetation, native wildlife, soil properties and water quality. If they actually had any previous experience with this environmental pest, they would not be so quick to complain about their deaths. An intelligent person would articulate a non-lethal solution which is more effective, efficient and financially economical than the Integrated Wild Pig Control™ methods demonstrated in this video. However, non-lethal solutions do not exist because they fail to control reproduction.

Google Translate è tuo amico, buona giornata.
It's "feral piglet," not "wild [sic] piglet," dunce! No wild pigs (or boars or hogs) in the New World; all are exotic species. The sooner you start using the correct term, the better.
Autodidact2 Feral swine/hog/pig and wild swine/hog/pig are synonymous terms for the invasive species inhabiting the United States. We do not disagree with you as the feral vs. wild discussion takes place on a monthly basis with academic professors and research scientists submitting "wild pig" research while forming "Wild Pig Conferences" to peer-review and publish wild pig data. Academics like yourself debate what to call them and form sub-committees to RESEARCH the problem while private-sector companies such as JAGER PRO innovate technology, implement methodologies and educate the public to actually SOLVE the problem.
No other private company, government agency or university with an account on UA-cam has exceeded 5 million views to educate the public about feral swine or wild pig control. We suggest you lose the attitude (i.e. dunce) if you wish to continue an educated conversation about this topic. Anyone can hide behind an anonymous username with zero reputation and criticize.
He sounded much more dunce like than yourself in that exchange. Some people love to try and saber rattle, not realizing that they look exactly as they are accusing others.
Wild and feral mean almost the exact same thing ass hat (while we're calling people names). A day where your not complaining about something isnt a day worth living to you huh? Man I sure feel sorry for you. Why dont you do something useful for once and go complain to Obama.
Could do without the annoying music.
Nice guys. All of that technology revealing the rarely seen lives of piglets in nature and then you "quietly despatch them." Why not offer them for adoption? Wild pigs rarely approach the size and weight of most domestic pigs and are no less intelligent.
caponsacchi You must be a newcomer to the feral pig problem in the United States and unaware of the regulations governing their transportation and diseases such as swine brucellosis and pseudorabies. Our goal is to eradicate the agricultural pest from American fields; not break the law and expand the problem by illegally transporting them.
Pigs are not native to the United States or North America. They were raised to be domestic animals and have either escaped from farms or were turned loose by ignorant hunters. Feral pigs are labeled an invasive species and it is NOT legal to transport a feral pig alive from the Georgia property in which it was trapped. Lethal control of the entire sounder is the exact task our USDA Wildlife Services and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) asks us to perform via city, state and federal regulations.
This has to be the most stupid comment I have seen in a long time, you really made my day
Are you really so moronic that you don't understand that they are a disease ridden, invasive species, and not adoptive pet material. Some people really have no handle on reality.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA !!!!!! Adoption!!!!!! aaaahhhAAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Good one!!!
Lol this comment is cute. Lol i cant think of another word to use. Would u adopt a dog with rabies and disease?!
What will be wrong if you research them keeping alive they also have right to live
Nuisance pests DO NOT have a right to live. No one in their right mind wants to share their home or food source with disease carrying pests for health and sanitary purposes. Public health and human rights take precedence over what you believe to be animal rights. Just because you are a "compassionate" person does not give you the right to contaminate the public drinking water, destroy private property or spread parasites and diseases to domestic livestock, pets, wildlife and humans. Professional decisions must be based on scientific data and state/federal regulations; not feelings and emotions.
Fortunately, the United States is a nation of laws. Science and academic research decide how a species is labeled; whether it is a nuisance pest, wildlife, game animal or a non-game animal. Science determines the Best Management Practice (BMP) needed to either manage the pest/animal damage or control the pest/animal population to protect the public health from diseases, bacteria, viruses, etc. It is illegal to capture and release domestic or feral pigs. Per O.C.G.A. 27-2-31 (B)(i) "No person shall release any trapped or transported feral hog into any area that is not fenced to prevent the escape of such feral hog onto the land of another."
Feral pigs are NOT native to North America which means they do not belong in the United States. They harmfully impact agriculture, native vegetation, vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, soil properties and water quality causing an annual negative economic impact of $2.5 billion dollars in the United States. Human action led to feral pigs being released in our country and the man-made problem requires a man-made solution. Removing a non-native, invasive pest from the landscape only improves the planet for the native plants, animals and habitat which do belong here. Letting pigs live is totally irresponsible and a perfect example of the negative impact humans make on the world by applying compassion instead of science and logic.
Oh fog heavens sack these pigs are like virmin and are destroying the land ...What is wrong with you.
Humans are the weakest link.
