Wow, that's a good gig it sounds like.

Not to speak out of turn, but unless something has changed it’s 70% of the pig brig. I did this program in Conecuh County and highly recommend it.

Is there any other information on this, website? news, etc.?

I knew the Southern Counties had some assistance through Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee with the Feral Swine Control Program, but didn't know Jefferson County had anything.

i provided what current info i had in my original post. If i get more i will post it as well..

Our club needs to look into this we’re in the adger area off groundhog rd & I bet pig numbers have tripled since last year, thanks for the heads up

YOUR close to me then. Im in blue creek hunting club in adger!

Hope y’all’s people running this in Jefferson County are better than the ones running it in West AL. Been trying to get approved for this program since August and have had nothing but problems with the NRCS and Soil and Water Conservation offices. Had to re-send documents to them multiple times. And then they claimed it had been submitted and they were waiting on the state. Called state and they had never received them. Had to re-submit forms and start process all over again. Maybe one day they will approve us.

Are there that many pigs in Jefferson County? I knew there were some around Gardendale at one time

We did the program with Soil and Water Conservation as well. We were the first to apply in Conecuh County so had a few hoops to jump through, but not terrible. Once approved it did take us 5/6 months to get reimbursed. It’s worth it if you can float it for a few months.

WE have a significant amount at our club. The lady i talked to said she rents those traps to alot of people in the oak grove area as well..

Was just wondering where you got your information, word of mouth?

The Pig Brig traps have made a difference, our numbers are down significantly. I know there are a lot of other traps out there but the cost advantage of the net has allowed a lot more people to get into whole sounder catching.

Back 20+ years ago I was in a 9500 acre club nw of Birmingham. There were plenty of hogs and the guy that ran the lease was feeding them. I heard he wasn’t very popular as the years went by, lol.

He’s the one that brought them in. Then said you couldn’t kill but like one pig per hunter.

Yup, but he did end up with a bumper crop of hogs, lol. Any idea of that club still exists?

I think so but don’t know anyone in it anymore

We just borrowed a trap from a friend and set it up yesterday. Can't wait to see how many we catch!

the hogs brought into north Jefferson Co were of European origin. Came in two 18 wheeler loads.....

guys name was Smith if I remember correctly

Yup, that’s correct. Would like to get back in that club. Anyone have a contact?

JUST got my email confirmation that my club is approved to get a pig brig for the discounted price.. Im excited!

so with us buying the lowest cost pig brig ( 2500) we will get 1750 of it back thanks to this program.. So we will have 750 bucks in a trap!!
