Pig Brig to host free webinar on feral hog management plans

Pig Brig Trap Systems will host a free webinar Oct. 22 to help landowners and managers build a feral hog management plan, from first trail camera sightings to trapping an entire sounder. The session is aimed at people trying to stop pasture, yard and food plot damage and will cover planning, baiting and avoiding non-target animals.

Why it matters: - Feral hog damage can spread quickly across pastures, yards and food plots. - The webinar is designed to help landowners move from spotting pigs to building a plan that improves trapping results. - The session also aims to help experienced hog managers check their approach and refine next steps.

What happened: - Pig Brig Trap Systems announced a free webinar called “A Step-by-Step Approach to Feral Hog Management.” - The webinar takes place Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET. - The event is aimed at landowners and land managers. - Registration is required. - Pig Brig said additional information and registration are available on the webinar registration page.

The details: - Aaron Sumrall, Ph.D., Director of Outreach, Education and Research at Pig Brig, will lead the discussion. - Abby Good of the Pig Brig Trap Support team will join him. - Sumrall spent more than 20 years with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension working with landowners on feral pig management. - Good works with landowners on day-to-day questions that come up during trapping. - The webinar will start with trail cameras and the information they provide before a trap is set. - The session will cover conditioning, why patience matters during that stage and how to keep a consistent routine as trapping progresses. - The presenters will discuss baiting options, when to use them and how to avoid non-target animals such as deer, raccoons and turkeys. - The webinar is one hour long.

Between the lines: - Pig Brig is framing feral hog control as a process that starts with observation, not trapping. - The focus on sounders suggests the company wants landowners thinking about group capture, not just catching individual pigs. - The emphasis on non-target animals reflects a common challenge for landowners trying to manage wildlife without creating new problems.

What's next: - Landowners interested in the webinar can register before the Oct. 22 session. - Attendees are encouraged to bring questions about their own situations. - Pig Brig is positioning the session as an entry point for people new to feral hog management and a review for those already dealing with hogs. - The company describes Pig Brig Trap Systems as a field-proven wild pig net trap used by landowners, agencies and wildlife managers in the U.S. and internationally. - Pig Brig says the patented system is designed to capture entire sounders without gates, triggers or cell service.
