The BoarBuster™ is a revolutionary trap system that is fully suspended and can be observed and dropped remotely from anywhere with Internet service. This video explains the research that led to the development of the BoarBuster™ system. BoarBuster™ is available commercially from WW Livestock Systems.
The BoarBuster system includes the trap and camera/motion sensor unit. A monthly fee is required for cellular service. Contact WW Livestock Systems by email at boarbuster@pldi.net or by phone at 1-800-999-1214. For more information and pricing on the trap, visit www.boarbuster.com.
The automated trap sends text or email messages upon motion activation and streams live video through a designated Web server. This trap technology allows the user to observe and activate the traps via smartphone or computer.
The suspended feature of the trap allows animals to enter or leave from all directions, eliminating trap-wary behavior associated with conventional trap gates. The user-activated trigger eliminates non-target animals from being captured. The corral design allows for captured hogs to be loaded out through an integrated door when convenient. Preliminary data suggests that the BoarBuster trap has the potential to capture 88 percent of the hogs from established populations while reducing the labor time per hog to one-third of that needed by drop-nets and corral traps.
The BoarBuster™ trap technology was designed at the Noble Foundation to help mitigate the economic and ecologic damage caused by growing populations of feral hogs in the U.S. and other countries. The Noble Foundation worked with Tactical Electronics and WW Livestock Systems to bring this technology to the marketplace.

When I was a kid I used to trap feral hogs with a buddy of mine. Back then it was illegal and once when we were checking the traps the sheriff was waiting in the bushes and unfortunately he arrested us. I asked him how he knew where our traps were and he told us that the pigs squealed on us!
When i was a boy on the farm the pigs were the only animal we didn't have a love afair w/we knew they would squeal on us, jes-a- jokeing son,,,
Good laugh my good sir~
😂😂🤣🤣
More good work from the Noble Foundation. Feral hogs are a big problem for ranchers and farmers. Hunting the hogs with rifles, even from helicopters, is too slow and too expensive. This is an ingenious way to take out hundreds of hogs at a time. Think 50 ranchers with traps and averaging 25 hogs per trap.
That's exactly why Pig Brig should be the tool of choice.
RIP to that piglet caught under that drop trap on the left side at 5:27. well made video.
Credit due where credit's due - this is really, really well done!
keep it realistic, this is well done. And that's enough. No need for the hyperbole.

Trapping these awful beasts is fascinating. Great job in developing this trap. So efficient and effective. And who knew feral hogs were so crafty and suspicious! What a great invention. Ben Franklin would be proud.
david letterman humans released foreign boar into the south to hunt and now they’re everywhere. Thank you engineers of humane traps.
......we really need to eat these guys though if we want the system balanced again
Ben Franklin would have roasted them for dinner.LOL

Just an idea. Maybe someone should harvest the meat and donated for the less fortunate. I state this because after watching many vids on hog hunting many just kill the animals. Their lives should not expire in vain. Their flesh and innards should those that see them(hogs) as food rather than as just simply pests. Is this query reasonable to you(those who read this).??
@@justineogsimer1240 This is an old comment, but I wanted to chime in and say that while your idea is good, wild pigs tend to carry a lot more diseases than the average farm pig. It also costs money to process the carcasses safely, so there's often a financial barrier for organizations that don't have access to a processing facility. That being said, if there was some kind of subsidization program (maybe similar to the same way the govt subsidizes cheese/dairy), I can see that being an incentive for processing plants and meat distribution as well as motivation for catching the pigs in general.
Man that's awesome. One little one actually gets away and you can see it running in the background. Looks like a great system. Holy crap look how fast those damn things react, too.
A friend in Mississippi told me about seeing one of these used as a door opening into another slightly larger enclosure, forming a figure 8.
She says the property owner who brain stormed it, and the friends and neighbors he shares the rig with, have had great success with it.
Feral hogs are a real problem for sure! This setup is a great way to capture these animals with a minimum of expense and some great numbers inside the capture area. Thank you for showing us this video!
for some reason I have a strange feeling of satisfaction knowing that a video like this exists somewhere on the internet
Brilliant. I know we're using similar systems in Australia, but not sure to what extent. Well done!
1:45 You said you removed those trapped pigs off the location. I hope that was just a nice way of saying you dispatched (killed) and disposed of them.
This is a great idea - it's both highly effective and very population specific.
Have you considered offering a monitoring and trapping service? I imagine most users would want direct control, but I can imagine cases where it would make sense.
Absolutely brilliant invention !
Great way to be efficient, instead of 1 or 2 at a time. Great work guys
I've never lived on a farm and don't know any farmers but I found this video really interesting
There are places in Texas I know of for sure where people who capture hogs like this, can be taken to be fed out and in turn turned into pork. Feral hog is regularly mixed into regular ground pork because they are usually lean that it can bring down the fat percentage.
This guy and his crew are geniuses!
I think u r doing such a super job. These critters reproduce so fast. They r very destructive and can hurt or kill humans. Thank u for ur sincere service.
Great idea, but they don't drop quite fast enough. You can even see at 5:26 a piglet escaping, with another getting caught under the fence.
Of course, this was uploaded just over two years ago. Have y'all made any design improvements? Like perhaps some springs to give it an initial burst of speed?
Are you working to make the trap close more quickly? I like the idea. It just seems to have potential hang-up situations if the metal is weathered or deformed.
This is quite impressive
I only became aware of the Boar Buster system about 4 years ago. It's quite an amazing invention! I guess it's because the pigs don't see any kind of barrier; their escape routes are clear. They tend to disregard things overhead, as explained by our Engineer here.
This is going on my Christmas list
This is sooo cool. I live in Thomas Oklahoma and I know people who work at W & W here
This company is genius :) ... great job guys!!!
Well done, nice video!
Use frozen fruit and simple syrup in a 2lt bottle and a system to slowly drip the mix. It will pull in an entire sounder quicker it also helps to work with surrounding land owners to ask them not to hunt while attempting to trap
Nice video, keep it up. Thanks for sharing
That was so satisfying.
Great idea
It's hilarious how they all just sprint at the same time
Smart animals!
Pretty awesome.. -TRS-Records
Excellent.
Dude, bad ass. These might be a good option for feral dogs in the Caribbean as well.
You sir are an intelligent hog trapper!!! Vary rare.
Amazing !!!! Bravo
5:28 One piglet case the rail on him.
Great engineering solution. Good job guys
At 5:28 you can see on the left side when the trap drops how a baby boar gets trapped underneath
Why did you choose the roatational drop? It seems slower then the straight drop.
what if a hog gets stuck (on the perimeter metal) when the thing drops? That means the others can escape right?
This is probably the best trap on the market. However there is one thing that if incorporated would make it the ultimate trap.
1. There needs to be a netting that allows the trappers to coral the hogs towards the exit gate.
You should use Lipo instead of triple A batteries, they last longer, and cost less.
How does this compare to the Pig Brig Trap System which uses netting and doesn't require advance electronics etc ?
That’s pretty neat
This is badass
Awesome vlog.
I wish I could have this system sent to Korea, we have a big problem with boar and they can only kill one at a time. Would be nice to catch a whole sounder at once.
amazing! I love it
I like it. Best design I have seen in the last 40 years. Consider something to keep from crushing any small ones. I'm and advid and responsible hunter and we need to keep it as humane as possible.. Keep up the good work.
That one goes on their own table, young and tender
@@victorbunch7725 This - well said! That bacon puppy was tenderized and ready to eat!
This is not hunting, this is trapping and killing in numbers, the only way to go...
Mmmm...that's a lot of ribs and bacon. Aw, yeah, that's the stuff.
Insect Overlord pepperoni. Ferel hogs are really tough and get ground up.
Insect Overlord ygy
PrivatePyle 762 only if you cook it wrong which is REALLY hard to do.
Domino52o! I've never heard of anyone eating feral hogs. They just send it for pepperoni at the butcher shop.
PrivatePyle 762 feral hog are just TOUGH PIGS, all u need is tenderize the meat and its all good
I'll take one when they are ready.
You can see one piglet on the back that manages to escape before the trap falls. At 5:28, if you look through the bars of the "entrance gate" you can see it running away near a larger tree
Wonder how this system compares with the netting traps that the pigs have to push under to get inside,but cannot leave because they are standing on netting on the inside? Anyway,yours is certainly a good idea,as they are less suspicious if they don't see any obstruction anywhere around the trap.
You know where you need to market this product today?! Hawaii...
Hate to see what it does to the back of one when it comes down on top of it. Seems it would also leave a side open for all others to escape. Also looks VERY heavy and cumbersome. Been using the corral method for many years and it's cheap, easy, works great.
5:40 catching hogs while watching baseball LOL
What's the reasoning behind the rotational drop system? So it doesn't bounce when it hits the ground?
Brilliant
like the net idea
What is the advantage of the rotation trap?
Rcbif The sloped channel allows it to be raised again by one person using a hand winch. An early prototype dropped straight down, but required either multiple people to raise it again or use of a motorized winch.
To make it less heavy
Very nice this trap. Like
Awesome
Those darn hogs got a amazing reaction time though.
Git e up ! Great product.
Awesome invention guys! I hate these nasty things and I love me some hog hunting!!👏🏼
You know what designer Treton it in the traps around traps for the hogs and wildlife never got nothing back from it even had a blueprint and everything
Just wow.
Clever. If you can rid an area of that percentage you have a chance
I like getting rid of these demons.
Good work.
that's amazing!
We need this in the Aussie outback .
Well in aussie the
Crocodile is protected and are serious predators of all animals over there
Good techiniques
So, when will it be released for sale?
Cool
@@sq6529 I meant the boarbuster itself, not the pig.
like the engineering on this bad boy! big plans ordering this trap. just wanna know the phone app to trap response ratio?
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 2 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.
@@NobleResearchInstitute awsome thanks for your time mate cheers.
Nice trap. It would be even more fantastic and fearsome against hogs if it had some kind of machine learning image based artificial intelligence, so the system could distinguish when the whole sunder is inside the trap and automatically trigger the trap. Imagine getting a text message telling you how many hogs the system managed to catch, where they were catched, when they were catched, and perhaps, auto-selling the hogs to a licensed abattoir. The farm owner would just buy the system, and perhaps replenish it with bait, while making money out of a pest.
So do you shoot into them after they are trapped?
They have to be Killed because is impossible to catch them by hand no to mention the Adults have Fangs and they surely bite
Interesting that you make the trap rotate. Any advantage to that?
Safety and user friendly 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.
Nice
I just hope they are processing these hogs, that is some good meat and could feed a lot of families.
Can't they sell the carcasses to meat producers?
@@ShiroKage009 Feral hogs carry a shitload of diseases and parasites. They're perfectly safe when thoroughly cooked, but the raw meat must be handled very carefully to prevent cross contamination. It's not really safe enough for public markets. But it's safe enough in the hands of people who know what they're doing.
Do they have these in Australia? Cuz they need it.
so what happens to the captured hogs? Do you fill the cage with water and drown them? Or do you just shotgun everyone of them?
shotgun easier; water cleaner. Depends on specific mood that day.
You back a truck to the gate and live load them and take to the slaughter house. Makin Bacon!
Um, how do you propose to fill the cage with water? Freeze it first?
screeem Throw in spades and force them to dig their own graves whilst laughing diabolically
bentonmot
Pour water in? Hello? It aint rocket appliances.
Can someone please post the video link of using this and then blowing them up with tannerite?
This would be good with zombies
Just saying
yea, just place a human in the center as bait.
Speedow are you volunteering?
Not big enough other zombies would just crowd around it trying to get in once it closes
Have someone in a shark cage in the middle that can climb out the top when the trap activates.
VaporFade WalkerBuster 🤣😂😂😂💀
After you catch them do you kill them all like catching fish in a barrel but with bullets?
Did anybody notice the little piglet’s head that got pin to the ground ??? Crazy !! 5:26
i want to know how you reset it
Those pigs are pretty fast, I would expected them to react a second or two after the trap hit the ground, not like a split second right after the trap was activated.
Ryan Okubo hogs have some amazing reflexes when you shoot a hog by the time you've got the next shell in there completely gone
Its why pigs can survive in africa with predators everywhere
Not fast enough still : D
I think they reacted to the sound, not to the trap moving.
The speed of the hogs' response shows that this system is not very effective. There's too much bulk hanging in the air for it to come down quick. There are systems with multiple gates that are faster and easier to set up.
What do you do with the captured hogs?
Many of these animals are euthanized and composted, while a few of them do make it to the table for personal consumption.
Though feral swine can be good table fare, it comes with a risk of contracting more than 20 infectious diseases know 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 very limited market options for wild caught swine. In most of the country, it is illegal to release feral swine captured in traps.
that's a good dam idea
i can't afford a fancy trap like that but i would like one of those drop nets. where do i find those?
See your County Ag agent, many jurisdictions have financial assistance for controlling/eliminating major pests.
This is so satisfying to watch!
5:26 HOLY, the entire weight of the cage fell on the little hog's head! Its wiggling to get out. RIP
I like the helicopter full auto videos more. But this is cool idea.
Awesome. Lots of new BACON ! ! !
roses are red vilots are blue I dont like the taste of bacon and I hate you too...
+lps cat Jew or Muslim? Probably Muslim The hate you spew is indicative of that.
What? I love animals and I think it's cruel to kill them but being honest I honestly don't like the taste of bacon
so you eat animals alive?
Huh? Thats really a dumb comment.
Very interesting!
What happens next after they're trapped? How is one supposed to dispose of them? Do you just shoot the hogs one by one?
Probably shot, since they're a fucking menace.
feed them with poison, less mess.
then you can't eat the meat if you poison them
Joselito Muller II - não é o Emanuel they would load them into a truck back up to a small gate in the cage and take them to a slaughterhouse much like cattle, where they'll be processed and the meat divided up to the landowner/owner of the trap and the rest would be given away/donated.
30 hogs from the ballpark in Arlington. Not bad. What do people do with them after catching them? Do they make bacon for the whole neighborhood or relocate them? Seems like relocating them only makes them someone else's problem.
American ingenuity!
Why does the trap rotate diagonally instead of falling directly down? A dead fall would be faster than a helical drop.
Has any hogs escaped due to the slower fall? Surely this would educate potential escapees.
The olny thing I can think of is you all are using an incline to reduce trap set energy for the user.
It's a good start.
Increase its circumference - it's too small. Like the other poster said, change its fall from helical to straight down. Lower the height it has to fall to decrease trap time.
