I suspect traps like this with tops would catch most furbearers.



A smaller, live baited, covered version should work great for predators that dig into poultry yards. You could frame small ones with a pop up tent frame, so they would be light, easily portable and quickly ready to go.

They would chew through the net.


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

I have known Tony for many years. He use to run an outfit called White Buffalo which essentially offers deer harvesting services for municipalities with over population and no hunting restrictions. He is very knowledgable and experienced in various control methods and has a team of expert snipers.

There's lots of materials you could use for netting that could not be chewed through. They would not be cheap though.

So I dont know Tony, but literally every hog trap that is worth something is an octagon that uses fencing, pickets and a trigger. One gets out, others can still get in. Maybe I dont understand what the break through here is, but this idea except with steel fence is standard. Ill take pics of some next week.

Been tempted to get one of those for my retirement years, lol. We have Big Pig with HogEye camera at the plantation. It’s not “that” bad to move, but man it takes them a while to get used to it. We have learned once we get pics to bait up a spot, then move the camera, then the trap, then even after a catch, just to leave it and keep baiting. Other will eventually show up.
My only issue or concern I have with the Pig Brig is deer. I could see trying to untangle one of those jokers out of the netting if they jumped it. With the trap we have now they just duck under.

Yeah good quality netting wouldnt be cheap, but what does a big sounder of hogs cost a crop farm or hay guy every year. Materials would seem cheap by comparison.

I think the Jagger Pro system is close to 10k with the bare minimum of bells and whistles

Isn’t that one that you put up fencing and just have the door? I’m pretty sure that’s what I guy had that deployed it before we got our own. That joker was a deer killer. Had a doe break her neck in it, and had a spike get caught between the fence panels. Ended up having to dispatch and cut his head off to get it out. Could’ve cut the fence, but wasn’t our trap. What made it worse was it happened in the middle of a hunt and the clients saw it.

The breakthrough is not just in materials/cost but in weight and refusals. It is well documented that steel saloon/rooter doors are subject to a high rate of refusal by spooky or educated animals. The lightweight net plus 360° entry mitigates this refusal plus allows for a conditioning period where the net is lowered in increments to allow the net to brush the backs of the animals as they enter.

This is the crux of whole sounder trapping vs individual pigs.

The only other option in whole sounder trapping is a monitored remote activated trapdoor system such as the jagerpro.

Beaver are easily netted under the ice.Natives neetted beaver for the fur trade for centuries.
Netting beaver under ice is so deadly and simple it is outlawed.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Sure, but you have to sacrifice somewhere else.
