New World screwworm has been documented in the US. Unmanaged feral hog populations are a concern that cannot be separated from that conversation.

Reducing hog pressure on your land reduces exposure risk to your livestock and your neighbors'.

First Pig Brig capture in Hungary: 11 wild boar.

A great milestone as whole-sounder trapping expands into Central Europe. Congratulations to the team on a successful first capture.

Managing land in New South Wales? The Feral Pig Impacts Survey is still open.

The data shapes policy and management priorities at a regional level. It only works if the people with real pig pressure are the ones filling it out.

Summer heat shifts hog behavior toward water, shade, and nighttime movement.

If trapping activity has slowed down, your setup may need to move with them. Reliable water and heavy cover become much more important this time of year.

A new study reviewed more than 850 wild pig captures across the Southeast, comparing corral traps, drop traps, and passive net systems. The Pig Brig® team is sitting down with co-author Chuck Taylor to walk through what the data shows.

Australia is entering peak trapping season.

Cooler conditions can tighten pig movement, improve bait site consistency, and create better trapping opportunities across the Southern Hemisphere.

If pig pressure has been building on your land, now is a good time to stay after them.

Feral hogs move in family groups called sounders, not as random individuals.

When only part of the group is removed, breeding animals remain and populations recover. Effective management starts with targeting the entire sounder.

No single method solves a hog problem.

Research shows the best results come from combining approaches. Trapping, aerial work, hunting, exclusion all play a role.

A layered strategy works. Trapping should be part of it.

If hogs aren’t going into your trap, conditioning is usually the missing step.

Consistent baiting, low pressure, and time to build trust make the difference. That’s how you catch the whole sounder.

Meet Jacelynn! 10+ years in accounting and manufacturing finance, and the reason the financial side of @PigBrig runs smoothly.

When she's not crunching numbers, she's outside planning her next adventure in Louisiana.

Glad to have her on the team.

Feral hogs and quail don’t mix.

Hogs destroy nesting cover and compete for food, which puts real pressure on quail habitat. That’s why our partnership with @quail4ever matters.

It’s about healthier land and better outcomes for wildlife.

Spring is in full swing, and hogs are harder to pattern. Food shifts, movement shifts, and what worked before may not hold.

We covered how to adjust in the field, from setup to timing.

Turkey season wrapping up? If it felt off, hog pressure could be part of it.

Hogs raid nests, compete for food, and damage the cover turkeys rely on. It adds up over time.

New research shows people matter as much as tools in feral hog control. Understanding landowner decisions helps support smarter strategies and better outcomes. That’s why Pig Brig focuses on giving landowners the knowledge to act confidently.

Big news from Pig Brig. 🐗

Today we're launching Field Engine Wildlife Research & Management, the parent company behind Pig Brig Trap Systems.

Same team. Same traps. Bigger mission.

[Pig Brig @pigbrig]

We started by hanging nets from trees on Guam because we couldn't pound a post into the ground. That figure-it-out mentality built the most effective feral hog trap on the market.

Now Field Engine is taking that same approach to wildlife management at scale.

Hot weather is tough on hogs. Without sweat glands, they wallow in mud and seek shade to stay cool. When setting your trap, stay near water or try a tree set to stay close to their activity and help keep them cool.
