 Wild pigs are a huge problem here in the southeastern United States as well as many other locations throughout the country. In many areas, pigs have been moved around to increase hunting opportunities. The folks that have moved pigs fail to realize just how detrimental these animals can be to native ecosystems. Pigs directly compete with deer for both soft and hard mass and can cause a negative impact on fall deer forage availability. These animals can also cause extensive destruction to both agricultural fields and food plots. Sals and piglets typically live and move in family groups known as sounders. The best way to mitigate pig damage in an area is through hole sounder removal, meaning trapping entire groups of pigs at once. The most effective trapping method today is the use of large corral style traps with drop gates that can be monitored and triggered remotely via live feed video.
