This is my 4th trap.

Any remaining pigs left my land after my 10/3/22 catch of 30 pigs.
Five months later a boar, a sow and seven 80 pound hogs arrived.
Caught the boar, sow,and one of the 80 pounders on 2/19/23. I don't have the boar shield, and the boar went over the top.
Re-baited but got no action. Went back to conditioning mode and kept feeding.
Re-set trap on 3/9 and caught all 6 of the remaining 80 pounders on 3/12/23

Have had this trap for a couple of years now. Works awesome! We had it put up for a while. Thought we had them under control but they were back. Caught the entire sounder. Great trap!!

We’ve caught 29 hogs or pigs in about a month. Had problems with coons getting inside trap and wet ground. Where we are trapping is either next to water or lakebeds, rain and just type of soil is problem. After catching a few hogs they push catch net into ground and other hogs can’t get in. Also we have some very sandy soils and anchors will not hold. Have had to use anchors made of rebar. Have not caught and at this site yet so hope they hold. Any suggestions?
Austin R.
Set was easy, good directions. The hogs have disappeared, occasionally have one to visit. Waiting mode.
Brad B.
All our neighbors laughed at us… but not anymore. Trap works perfectly and humanly. An incredible tool for our property than is invaluable now. Thank you PB!!
James K.
We caught this big boar the second night. It Wes 350 pounder. He was running and jumping wild. The trap held him
Ryan R.
First trap set. 14 pigs. Once they acclimate to the trap, they can’t resist.
Bryant T.
Caught 21 on the first set! Very pleased.
Andrew S.
This is trap system number 4 that I oversee or own. I have one on a large tract of land in a perpetual estate, one for my farm, and two thru Soil and Water conservation programs. This last one has been in action for about a week. Caught seven the first night set. Caught a 300 pound plus just a few nights ago. They work great!
Dave W.
I’ve caught a solitary boar, to as many as 21 from a sounder. I caught three consecutive groups in a single place, without further conditioning, dispelling what some locals told me, which was that after dispatching feral hogs, the trap would have to be moved because no more hogs would enter the trap in that location. The trap works so well that I bought a second one to cover more acreage.
Bruce B.
Awesome trap! We caught 175 hogs in 3 months!
Larry B.
I fed the hogs for two weeks. When I set the trap they won’t go in it. I am having better results with cage traps. It’s not worth the money I spent on it.
David C.
Didn’t even get to set the trap completely. Still caught 20+
Dale S.
Easy purchase and great folks to work with. Conditioning and trapping successfully.
Laura M.
After spending $2600 for this pig trap the pigs disappeared. I was ready to send it back. But then the pigs returned with a vengeance. My friends and I put the trap up and baited as per the instructions. We set the trap after baiting it for a week and we’re rewarded with 13 pigs! Very happy with the results. We’re going to leave the trap up to try and catch the second sounder that has been sighted in the area. Expensive but well made and worth the money.
Steve W.
I set this up by myself for the 1st time alone in about an hour and a half. I baited two nights and on the third I dropped the sides. I thought I would catch a few. I caught 27. I love this trap. It is so easy to use !!!
Fred H.
Just started monitoring after setup. Have hogs on camera.
Jason S.
11 pigs first time using it….1 huge boar weighed close to 400 lbs and could not get out!! Love it….the Pig Brig is awesome and works great! We recommend it to everyone with pig problems. Very happy customers!

Exceeds expectations. I recommend it for anyone who wants to put pigs out of business.
Brandon H.
I've had this trap for just over a year now. It's not all it's cracked up to be.
The pros:
It catches pigs well and can get set up where no other trap can. Most hogs I've caught haven't even been the target group and have had zero acclimation time which goes to show that doorless traps are more natural. Customer service is also great.
The cons:
It takes a very long time to move. Like bare minimum of 2 hours for the whole process of take down and reassembly for one person even without setting posts for it.
The built in trap cap makes assembling in anything but a circle very difficult, if I was to get it again I'd go without the cap.
Don't be fooled by the price tag, it's cheap compared to other traps, but the amount of fairly expendable and other supplies needed to make this work has been very expensive. If you want a trap to last for years of hard trapping this is not it - animals LOVE chewing holes in this. After a year and a few months my trap is basically functional due solely to hundreds of zip ties. Raccoons, even without bait, seem to love chewing holes through it. Hogs can pretty easily chew their way thru if they figure it out and I have had a sow chew a hole through within 30 minutes of getting in. That said, I don't trust it to hold hogs. So for the past hundred hogs or so, I'm out there at all hours. Even though it's non-metalic and doorless I've seen most hogs that have eaten the bait from around the outside never venture under it.
Despite that, I'm generally satisfied with it due purely to it's ability to catch hogs in thick country where nothing else can get to. It makes a good addition to a trapping repertoire
Ricky W.
Have tried most every trap sets up easy and doesn’t limit access to catch, they just keep coming in can’t stand it when there buddy is eating and their not.
Huey L.
We’ve had trap about two months probably and have been really busy with harvest haven’t had time to setup trap finall last Friday we to the time. We set up trap in condition mode left it like that for six days set it thanksgiving day and the rest is history we caught 14 hogs the first setting love it
John M.
Trap works as advertised but can be problematic if only one enters trap. I have had singe catches escape by going back under net.
Greg and Marlina L.
Set the Pig Brig up on our neighbors property which has been getting torn up by pigs every night. We took our time and the Brig went up in just a couple hours, no big rocks or lava slabs in the way. Baited it for a few days and saw on the trail camera that the pigs were going inside and through the trap. So I dropped the net and baited it well with sweet feed, 3 big'uns in there the next morning. A hunter came that morning and shot the 2 big males and took the younger one away live with the dead ones. I didn't have time to take the trap down for a few days so I left it there with the net down and baited it again and got a couple more. We've done this several times every few days and as of yesterday we've gotten 12 so far in a couple weeks. I'm not pulling the net up each time, just leaving it down and baiting the obvious trail , to the net, under the net and inside and it works every time. Awesome.
Harvey B.
Best trap we have on the farm!
John S.
8 pigs first set. Pigs are back a week later. Bout to reset and see what I get
Michael B.
This trap and The Pig Brig family is awesome. Ordering was easy. It arrived quicker than expected. Set up was easy. I used the set up videos which made it easy. We caught 25 pigs the first time we used it. Anytime I ran across questions or issues the support team jumped all over it- even after hours and then they follow up afterwards. Its one thing to have a product that works but having the customer service to back it up is rare. Thanks for a great experience!
Justin J.
Without a doubt the best trap I have ever used and I have one of every size shape and color
Thomas M.
Our experiences with PigBrig are good. We have caught hogs that would not enter JagerPro traps, but hogs are pretty intelligent, and we see it taking longer to get hogs committed to go into PigBrig as well. We very much like the initial cost, no camera fees, and welcome the ability to sleep like a baby and still catch hogs.

Right now the pigs have moved out due to being so dry but they will be back.
John S.
Pre baited for one week. Set the trap 10 am and by 9pm 8 pigs. Held them till morning. Just as advertised
Matt S.
Hello, Your Pig Brig system is AMAZING! We're using a number of them on our hunting property in Alabama, with great success. We've shared the effectiveness of system with MANY other hunters, who are now looking at & have purchased it for themselves. We also filmed the attached tutorial video a couple weeks ago, which now has over 8K views on YouTube - Seeing is believing.
However, we have had some issues with the U-bolts that attach to the T-posts. I believe they may have been overtightened by one of our members using a drill (Now we know to only use a socket). With that said, we'd like to have a few additional sets to equip all of our sites, so that they don't have to be constantly moved. Is there any way we might be able to get those at a discount in return for our promotional efforts?
Thanks in advance & keep up the great work,

Absolutely a great product! Works perfectly! Two years ago I started getting pig damage to my food plots which went from a little to a lot in only one year. Learned quickly that you can't shoot enough pigs to solve the problem, in fact it makes it worse as they just avoid an area during daylight. Bought my Pig Brig and followed the great advise. Within a short time the first sounder of 17 pigs was gone. Getting ready to address sounder number two! Thanks so much!
Shawn B.
Love my trap. First set. 17 hogs on second night after about a week of conditioning.
James R.
Caught a big boar first night of trapping haven’t caught any since but have pig action again getting ready to trap
Curran S.
Very useful tool for us to trap pigs in remote areas.
J Y J.
Easy to assemble, especially after you’ve done it once. We caught 25 hogs, not a single piglet, all between 50-300 pounds each, first time we set it. Huge pregnant sow repeatedly rammed the net but could make no progress, all were killed with a .22 round. Several guys skinned out the best eating specimens, the rest went to “Coyote Corner.” Left the trap in same place, caught 9 more there 3 weeks later, mostly boars, one weighing 350-400 pounds. He used his tusks to cut one small hole in the net but his repeated assaults on the net didn’t budge it, easy repair with plastic ties. After washing and drying the net we moved it to a new location where we had put up a second set of t-posts and all hardware. About a dozen hogs are feeding there, finally ate all the corn last night, so I lowered the net a bit. Should catch them easily next week. If every owner of property where pigs are a problem would purchase the PigBrig system, we could actually eliminate wild hogs to a great degree. Wonderful invention, exceedingly simple, effective, and affordable. It’s amazing to see the incredible flexibility built into the system, whereby all force by even a huge hog is distributed all around the net so all 10 t-posts would have to bend for the system to fail. Having approached trapped hogs in PigBrig twice now, I’m convinced none will ever escape, if the rigging is right.
Frank L.
It took me about 3 hours to put up and bait. Great directions. And great video help!
Bill T.
Caught the entire sounder the first time the trap was set for capture. Hogs became acclimated to the trap in less than a week, caught them all that night and dispatched them just at daylight the next morning. I plan to move the trap to the next problem area.
The system works well and I would recommend it’s use without hesitation.
Thank you -

I am completely satisfied
Three catches in two weeks totaling 18 pigs
They caught on though so now I’m in conditioning mode
I actually had to remove the trap from my t posts but they are feeding again
Earl P.
Man this thing is amazing! I got the Brig about 2 mths ago and haven't seen a pig since. Lol
Seriously, right now there is too much natural food, agriculture and upper 90's temps. I'll check back in around October.
Thanks
David W.
I trapped approximately 200 yards from the ranch house for the initial setup due to hog damage to the grounds around the house. Baited for two weeks. Saw a sounder of 16 hogs - more than anticipated for this locale. Caught 14 of the 16 once I set the trap. I love this trap. I have used a catch pen for many years in the past, and it's much more expensive and challenging to operate. I'm preparing to set the trap in a creek bottom approximately one mile from the house - a much more target-rich environment. Stand by for details!
Mack T.
I love this trap. Set it up and caught eight pigs that week and expect to get a lot more. Good job designing the trap and the price makes it affordable for folks with a pig problem.
Lance D.
Pigbrig Trap worked as advertised. Set the unit up in less than 60 min with three people (very first time setting one up, so i think setup time will be a lot less moving into the future). Set it up Sunday afternoon (didn't do the pre-live bait process) and by the next morning, caught all 8 known feral pigs in the trap that were frequenting the area!
Awesome!
Jasper S.
Purchased first trap last year and added another this spring. They work.
Ronnie M.
Caught 32 in one set
I have 5 other traps all cell powered this one beats them all.
It let's nothing out I even catch coons
Wayne H.
This is the second set up since we got our Pig Brig trap, and man, what a great day! We trapped and killed 32 of the things, which will definitely improve our deer herd and hunting for our members. We re-baited the trap, and will watch it for a few days to see if there are any left in the area. As a side note, this makes 57 trapped and killed total, with two different setups in two and one half weeks. We love the trap, it's much simpler to use than the cumbersome metal traps, and so far has been impervious to even 200 pounders. Besides, a couple of our members have had a ball shooting pigs. We're able to give most of the adult pigs away, or have some processed. Thanks Pig Brig for a great product!
John G.
334 pigs in 13 months with one trap and I slept all night every night. Incredible trap, light weight, easy to use and simple for one person to set and maintain.
David H.
Actually this is our second Pig Brig and I am very pleased with the system, and also optimistic that it will be a system to allow the amateur trapper success with creating a lot of what my mentor called Phd hogs. Or those that have been educated to the point that trapping is nearly impossible.
I am totally convinced that trapping is our best tool to control the feral pig population and Pig Brig is a trap system that will work when used properly !!!!!
Wayne J.
Perfect trap. If you got bad pigs make sure you get the boar shield. Very easy to put on.
Mark B.
14 first day I dropped the net and 1 big boar the second.
Les C.
This trap simply works! It is completely passive ( nothing mechanical) and there’s nothing to spook even wary pigs. Best of all?… one doesn’t have to lose sleep in order to “drop the gate”. After getting the pigs conditioned, they do all of the work… simply brilliant!
Lee W.
It is performing better than wet could have imagined. We have caught 55 hogs since mid February (46 in the same location). We have been surprised by the number of large old boars and sows we have caught in our sounder groups. A key to our success was advice received from the Pig Brig staff about keeping the trap set for multiple days after a catch. We have most often caught on the second day as well. Love the boar shield and cap. Trap is easily moved with a 2nd set of posts and anchors installed so you can feed in multiple areas.
Jason B.
Have caught 37 in a little over a month on 70 acres and even caught this boar while it was still in condition mode!
Steven C.
We finally set up our trap and so far in the first week we have caught 36 hogs!! This is a game changer for sure!!! Thank you so much for a great product and great customer service!!
Steve Chenault
Carl B.
This is the easiest trap to set up. Set it up for a week and caught 15 the first time.
Keith T.
Let the net down and less than four hours later had 14 caught. The very next day caught 17 more.
Lee Y.
Well built good quality putting up was super easy
Getting hogs inside of it is a different story but that’s not on pig brig
Robert Z.
From a Giant lone boar to a giant sounder this is the ticket to stopping their spread. 2” cutters do not phase this system
Robert Z.
36 in 4 sets was able to completely remove the remaining hogs in 4 separate sounders, 5 over 300lbs with zero trap damage… this is a game changer removing the ghost sounders in the Alabama river swamp
Jeff T.
I have caught some pigs (25). I conditioned with the net up for two weeks. The first time I set the trap there were several that escaped. Since then, I have set it a few times and still haven’t caught my two target sows even though they have been in the trap twice; once on the initial setting and once on the last setting. I have ordered a trap with a drop gate. I am curious to see if it will get the job done.
Dr. Robert B.
It works was designed. Locate pig core areas, bait them, slowly lower net, set trap. Extended baiting time as trapping was gonna have a short window of trap checking once set.
Set one night, next morning caught them sounder. We have fed 46 pig lead all during hunting season. Trapped nine in one cast of the net.
No sign other sign of hogs in two weeks so am moving to another trap site on my property.
Expect to catch several boars in new location. Best product support I’ve ever experienced from a company.
Thomas M.
Vicky, The pig brigs are working, catching hogs, roughly about 220, some of which were trap shy of Jager Pro & Boar Buster. I've made a decision to equip our 21 HCC'S with pig brigs, just have to do a little at a time based on funding.
Tom
Gary Y.
It worked exactly as advertised.
Tucker C.
Love the concept but don’t think it will last long without the heavy duty boar shield
David L.
Easy to set up. Great hog trap.
Larry K.
Set up for conditioning for one week. Set to trap and that night the hog in picture was captured. No damage to net. Very satisfied so far.
Caroll G.
I used a "loaner" for a Demonstration by our local County Extension Agent and we caught 15 pigs ranging from 50 to 250 pounds. I was sold so I bought one and just caught a 211 pound boar. I am looking forward to many more catches.
Michael D.
The first time the trap was set we caught a total of 7 pigs. We had been seeing 11 pigs on camera while conditioning them. The pigs entered the trap around 11:00 pm we ran the trap at daylight the next morning. Had a large boar (350+) with big cutters. After all the pigs were removed from the trap we inspected it and found 2 extremely large holes in the boar shield and 3 medium holes in the outer net. After looking back over the pictures it looks like we had 3 or 4 small to medium pigs escape.
The trap is a good concept, easy to use and catches pigs but it's not tough enough to hold the big ones without receiving damages.
Jarrod P.
Works exactly as advertised! Easy to trap large groups of pigs.
Jim J.
Due to adverse weather and demands of scheduling it took a bit longer than anticipated to actually get the trap set. After nearly two weeks of hit and miss opportunities, I set the trap yesterday. The result is a truck load, 21 hogs, 7 boars, 6 sows and 10 piglets. I do believe we got the entire sounder from this location. Regrettably, a heavy fog set in about the time the hogs showed up last night so I wasn't able to get the videos I wanted to document their reaction to the trap. I do have video that I will share with you after our arrival this morning. No hog damage to the trap and only one minor fault due to a bullet hitting a strand of the net.
John D.
The trap works great! Superior customer service and support staff!
Ricky S.
Deer feeders have finally run out and i have corn soaking to condition trap with.
Haven't had any pictures of hogs, but will put out corn in a few days and maybe we can start catching some.
Will up date on Pig Brig sight as soon as something happens.
Thanks Again
Mike M.
Have owned a Pig Brig for 1 1/2 years. I live in NE Texas. Have trapped over 100 pigs in several locations. It works great!
Simple and easy to move around. Then there is the support and customer service from the company and owners that is top-notch!!!!!!
It is amazing how many feral hogs have been trapped with the Pig Brig trap in the USA & overseas!
Lots of good sausage!
Proud to be in the Pig Brig family!
David T.
Trapped 28 hogs so far.
LEE H.
Works good and good support service.
Terry G.
Great product! I had zero experience trapping hogs, but with this system and the amazing customer service of Pig Brig, I am much more confident and completely satisfied with this endeavor . I know I have more swine to capture, just practicing Patience.
Jerome M.
This was my second set, two large boars…
Bill C.
I have all the posts and stakes installed into the ground and have been baiting the area with corn. My current situation is that the deer are eating all the corn and have not had one pig come into the bait area. Any suggestions on how to discourage the deer and encourage the hogs to the area?
Joseph R.
Worked great. I followed the preconditioning procedures and when I set the trap I had 16 in it the next morning. Disposed of them and baited the trap again and caught 9 on night 2. Four days later I had 9 hogs in the trap that I was not aware were anywhere nearby. This trap has solved my hog problem. I took the net up just to see how long it took and the difficulty. Only 45 minutes and no helped needed or wanted. A Pig Brig is a good solution and money well spent.
MARK B.
After getting T-Post in the ground.
Easy set up. Bait for two days then it was on.
Jason G.
It took for ever for these pigs to get to use to the trap. I have had a few climb out the trap.
I still love the trap
stetson s.
i was waiting a few months to write a review to give a better opinion. i have caught hogs twice with my trap now at two different locations. i did not use the cables that came with the trap to hook your straps to because i set mine up in a hay field and seems the cables would be hard to get out of the ground. i used T-post that i cut in half. easier to move out of field when not in use or when moving trap. trap seems to be better than expected. in my last experience had one hog get in there bout 7pm two more by 9pm with a total of 9 hogs when i got to trap at 6am the next morning. i would recommend a trap like this. it also seems that they are doing what they can to improve this trap as time goes on. with that being said the 5 rods on the inside of trap that are recommended to be upward seem to always roll over (does not seem to be an issue though). the hardware that hooks the net to the five rods on the inside could be better they will not open up enough to fit over the rod. all rods were close but one. I had to ply open the other four to fit hardware in and slide it around. other than that trap is great.
Jay B.
My brother and I farm in southeast Georgia. We have had a great deal of damage in our peanut and wheat fields. We bought the pig brig system particularly for one farm. It’s located next to a 18,000 acre management area, that is a pig producing monster. After we got the peanuts harvested off of the farm, we sat up the trap for the first time. It was hard to get the pigs focused on the trap, with all the loose peanuts left after harvest, but once they got turned on to the trap area we made our first catch. Our first catch was 8 in the trap and a spare pickup hanging outside the trap. For a total of 9. Reset a couple days ago and got 11 in the trap this morning. This trap system works! In fact there are several traditional hog traps scattered around this farm that haven’t produced yet. If you have hog, you need Pig Brig.
John William M.
Worked as expected. Held up great. No holes or tears from the first capture. Just ordered 2 more sets of anchors and post clips so I can rotate trap sites.
Charles L.
Set it up, no problems. I left it in the conditioning mode for two days, set it in catch mode and the next morning had a big boar, big sow and five of their kids. Best product I've bought in the last twenty years. Very satisfied with this thing.
Mitch J.
This is by far the easiest and most effective trap to use. On several occasions I have caught the whole herd. I have a very minor pig problem and these traps have helped me keep my population well under control. I plan on buying several more for my other properties. Best money spent.
Mindy P.
These people are the most amazing people to work with. Their customer service is absolutely amazing. They are truly genuine and caring people. I would highly recommend them to anyone trapping hogs! My father was one of the largest hog trappers around a our area. He was an old rancher and farmer and knew how to trap hogs. He loved his new Pig Brig trap!
John F R.
caught first single small pig, gnawed out in few hours1
Justin J.
I’ve set this trap four times and caught the whole sounder 4 times plus bonus hogs twice
Curtis Z.
Great Customer Service!!! Easy Instructions....Quality materials and design....Works great...Great Customer Service!!!
DALE F.
The day UPS dropped off my pig brig the pigs left my area. With hunting season in full swing and piles of corn everywhere we can't get the pigs trained. After hunting season the corn will go away and we will start training the pigs again. I have set it up for a field day demo and it was easy to put together. Can't wait for the pigs to come back.
Brehm V.
The trap was easy to set up. We started feeding in the trap area with the sides tied up. We had a camera so we would know when and how many pigs were coming in. In just a few days, there were plenty. We put the sides down and the next morning we had 20 pigs in the trap. That was not the whole sounder because the camera showed pigs still outside the trap. The problem was that there was no more room in the trap. We set the trap again in the same place about a week later and caught 3 big sows and 2 15 pounders. There is still another boar out there we would like to get. We are now at the point where we will move the trap to another location on the same property where we know pigs come in. This is an economical way to get rid of a BIG problem. I highly recommend it.
