For landowners who spot wild pigs on a trail camera for the first time, the next move isn’t always obvious. Pig Brig’s upcoming session aims to turn that uncertainty into a clear, workable strategy.
HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Feral hogs can wreak havoc on pastures, yards, and food plots, but many property owners don’t know how to move from spotting the damage to actually doing something about it. Pig Brig Trap Systems announced today that it will offer a free webinar to walk landowners and land managers through the process of creating and executing a feral hog management plan. The session, titled “A Step-by-Step Approach to Feral Hog Management,” is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.
That first trail camera image of a hog—or the frustration of repeatedly finding torn-up ground—often leaves people wondering where to begin. The webinar is designed to answer that question, explaining what information to gather before a trap is ever set, and how observation, preparation, and consistency all factor into a successful management routine.
“A trail camera photo tells you pigs are there, but there is more to learn before deciding what to do next,” said Aaron Sumrall, Ph.D., Director of Outreach, Education and Research at Pig Brig. “Understanding when they visit, how they behave and how they respond to changes helps you make sure you get the whole sounder. We want landowners to leave this webinar knowing where to start and what to watch for as they move forward.”
Sumrall will lead the discussion alongside Abby Good of the Pig Brig Trap Support team. His background includes more than 20 years with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, where he worked directly with landowners on feral pig management. Good contributes hands-on experience from assisting landowners with the practical, day-to-day questions that come up during trapping.
The agenda walks through each phase of a management plan, starting with what trail cameras reveal before any trap is placed. From there, the discussion shifts to conditioning, the importance of patience during that period, and how sticking to a regular routine helps move the effort toward capture.
Baiting strategies will also be covered, including when to use different options and how to avoid attracting non-target animals like deer, raccoons, and turkeys. Throughout the hour, the presenters will show how to read pig behavior and adapt when it changes.
While the session is pitched as an entry point for those new to feral hog management, it also offers a chance for experienced managers to step back and evaluate their own methods. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions about their specific situations.
The one-hour webinar is free, but registration is required. Those interested can find more details and sign up on the webinar registration page.
