[Music] [Music] Hello friends in the Mississippi state area there are about 1 million feral pigs living  they destroy the environment polluting water sources and Woodland competition  for habitat with many different Native species their adaptation has  turned them into an increasing challenge causing negative impacts  on the environment and community life with their rapid reproduction  rate they pose a major challenge in controlling and managing feral swine in Mississippi using boats to navigate
  the swamps and Hunt during the day is considered an effective method to  face the challenge of wild [Music] B although they are usually active at night  on hot days they can also appear during the day using the boats helps groups of hunters access  flexibly and take advantage of the special swamp environment each day a group of hunters  can hope to catch approximately one or two wild boards although this number can  fluctuate depending on many factures including group size Hunter experience  a
nd density of wild boore in the hunting area the use of hunting dogs isn't only  an important part of tactics but also helps Hunters face the challenges of fleeing  wild board movements across the Marsh Grass is also carried out with the assistance of  hunting dogs to optimize search and harvest capabilities boats also play an important role  helping Hunters move efficiently and avoid the unique difficulties of swamp environments  swamp environments are often quite difficult to navigate requirin
g ceranity and  technique on the part of the Hunter the agility and ferocity of wild  Boors present a unique challenge requiring Hunters to be cautious and alert when hunting in the state of Mississippi the  swamp rat population is a significant problem with an estimated 100 million animals  higher than any other estate in the United States swamp rats rodents often live in Marshy  and flooded areas the ability to adapt well to the Mississippi environment has helped swamp  rats Thrive seriously t

on the water to search for food during the day farmers can use boats to  travel across the swamp to look for traces for swap rats mice often move from the grass  rows on both sides of the swamp and swim on the water surface when mice are  detected quickly use hunting tools to catch them hunting skills are very  important when the butt moves on the water standing still and accurately  aiming at the mouse is a difficult problem you really need to practice  a lot before participating in the Journey
of hunting swamp rats swamp rats will be  harvested immediately so as not to affect meat quality every day the average Mississippi  farmer can Harvest about 10 to 20 swamp prats their meat is used a lot by people  because of its unique taste and many nutrients the carp is a popular freshwater fish  is causing challenges for Mississippi Farmers carps are believed to  have entered Mississippi from Europe in the 19th century when  they were introduced for tilapia farming however they have quickly
become invasive  fish and cause many problems for the local environment this fish is capable of  living in many different environments from large ponds and lakes to rivers showing  flowing dams and rackish water with low salinity the car populations are especially rich  in Mississippi with an estimated 100 million fish these carbs have a rapid reproduction rate  as each female can lay up to 100,000 eggs at a time and that has caused a sudden increase  in the number of carps in a short period of
[Music] time to deal with this problem Mississippi  Farmers have applied a number of measures including using Nets to catch these  fish they use saying Nets to catch fish [Music] this knit can Harvest fish more  quickly than using other methods fish are collected in one air so the farmers  will use these nets to catch them at both compartments in addition they also  use long knits to catch fish the net will be placed permanently at one end of  the bank and stretched across the other [Music] end
after spreading the net the  boat will move and exert your large force on the water to make the fish move and  get in a [Music] net after about 20 to 30 minutes the knit will be picked up to  harvest the fish when the fish invasion was at its strongest in about 3 days  far caught 96,000 lb of invasive Asian carbs once harvested carbs can be used  for many different purposes it can become a popular food source processed  into many different delicious [Music] dishes wild bores are omnivores with a
diverse diet including grass leaves  fruits seeds and even small animals they are highly capable of digging and  use this technique to find food the omnivorous nature and digging ability of wild bores can  have negative consequences for the ecological environment when born baby wild BS have light brown  fur with black spots on their neck and shoulders and weighs about 20  to 25 kg they can't stand and walk immediately after birth and find  their own food after about 2 weeks of age although they
have Liv in their  mother's herd when they reach 2 years old they will separate from the herd  to find a mate and start their own family wild borers can cause great damage to the environment they dig up tree stumps turn  over grass and soil which can lead to destruction of tree root systems  and thinning of forests a loss of biodiversity the world's wild Bo population is  increasing estimated to be about 100 million with the majority in Asia being  80% and Europe being 15% and America being 5%
wild boor is also affect Forest  Woodlands by digging in search of food and water causing ecosystem  destruction and hardship for other animals although many measures have  been taken to control the wild boore population their numbers continue to increase  sharply due to their ability to reproduce rapidly tropical temporate mangroove broadleaf and coniferous forest areas are all places  where feral pics cause the most negative impacts the mger pro rigid panel  fural boore trap is not only an eff
ective tool in controlling feral boore  populations but is also a breakthrough with advanced technology utilizing solar  energy to bring convenience and high performance Pacific installation  instructions and related information below will help you better understand the  power of technology and the trap's unique design started with assembling the Trap  panels each with simple legs for assembly using screws or dowels join them together using  connecting rods to create the basic frame for the Trap
the ability to easily and quickly  install is a strong point of the Trap the trap door is located at the  bottom and can be opened manually or electrically providing great convenience and flexibility this helps improve efficiency and  reduces effort required on the part of the user the bait is placed inside the Trap  using foods such as fruits vegetables or food that can attract wild bores to  increase the likelihood of Attraction this is an important part of optimizing  the trap's ability to c
atch large numbers the Trap uses solar energy  through a panel placed on the top providing power for the trapo motor  and Signal lights this model is not only efficient but also demonstrates a  commitment to renewable energy sources when wild boes approach the motion sensor  will activate the trap door trapping them inside quickly and effectively this proves the  accuracy and quick response of the trap in all situations traps are often placed in  areas with high wild Bo densities such as forests
fields and grasslands  this helps optimizing the ability to capture and control wild bores  populations in the most effective way possible the Jager Pro hardplate  mind track is not only popular in the United States but is also oddly used  in many countries around the world such as Canada Europe and Asia this demonstrates  the diversity and flexibility in global application each night traps are capable  of catching 10 to 30 wild BS making them an effective and sustainable solution  for populati
on control this efficiency not only brings immediate benefits  but also will maintain ecological balance users can Harvest two to four  traps per day creating the ability to control 730 to 1,460 Wild BS per year this  demonstrates the traps versatility and wide applicability with the Jager Pro hardplate mine wild Bo  trap it is not simply a wild Bo control tool but also a symbol of modernity and  convenience and population management bringing efficiency and convenience to  Farmers users who are
passionate about hunting the board Buster system uses Innovative design with a circular outer and an inner  shell to effectively trap wild boards this overview sets the stage for the  ass simply un operating details that follow the assembly process begins  with the construction of the inner ring which alternates dowed and  unbolted panels the Trap FS are then securely inserted into  the grooves on the inner ring plate then the rulers are attached one of which  is removable for disassembly the ou
ter ring is constructed by aligning the panels with  rollers and fixing the connections finally the trigger components including the latch  arm bar winch leg and electronic latch are installed [Music] according to a study conducted by Texas A&M  University the board Buster system is 80% more effective than some other types of traps wild  borers can be caught in all sizes from piglets to adults this trap also traps the  same number as the M trap there are a number of other types of wild  board tr
aps to deal with this invasive species according to statistics from  the USD Department of Agriculture Texas has became a symbol in the use  of trapping and using dogs to hunt wild boes in 2022 Texas Farmers  destroyed more than 1 million wild pigs using more than 1 million  traps and more than 100,000 hunting dogs these measures have played an  important role in protecting farms and rural areas electric traps are an eff  Ive method but also risky it uses electricity to kill wild boes when  a wi
ld boar comes into contact with an electric wire it'll receive a  strong shock and may be injured or die this has helped Farmers control the numbers of wild boes on the farm  in minimizing the damage caused by them in addition to Electric traps  spring traps have also been used wildly a spring trap is a trap system  containing a powerful spring when the wild boar steps into the Trap and activates the  mechanism the spring will pop out and catch the boar this method is also effective been especia
lly useful when Farmers want  to catch wild boes in large numbers however there is a risk that the spring  could cause injuries to the people if not used carefully therefore consideration  and management of spring traps is an important part of using this measure in addition to Electric traps  and spring traps the use of cage traps has also been applied by  American farmers to control wild pigs cage traps use cages or pins to  capture wild boes when the pig enters the cage to get food the cage do
or will  automatically close trapping the pig inside while these traps are effective in killing  wild boes they're not always a safe option especially at night when  wild boards often attack Farms farmers face danger when using these  measures therefore Farmers must be cautious and follow safety rules and  Specific Instructions when using these methods the fight against wild Boors not only  requires patience and technique but also requires determination and a  deep sense of the nature of this an
imal American farmers have demonstrated their creative spirit and ability  to find Solutions in this fight in the fight against wild BS one  of the tradition measures that American farmers have applied with amazing  Effectiveness is the use of hunting dogs this helped them control the devastation  caused by wild BS to farms and Rural Life confronting wild bors requires determination  and creativity and the use of hunting dogs is an important part of this [Music] story although  using hunting dog
s is effective in controlling the wild Bo population on farms but also  possesses a series of challenges and issues worth considering first many hunting dogs are  needed to perform these tasks while boards often move in groups and facing large  herds require a large number of hunting dogs this means Farmers must invest in raising  and training a team of reliable hunting [Music] dogs in addition the safety of hunting  dogs is also an important issue while dogs are not always easy to catch and the
y  can defend themselves by attacking hunting dogs this requires Farmers to have  patience and experience in training and managing hunting dogs ensuring that  they do not get injured during their tasks in recent years the use of hunting dogs  has become an indispens part of the fight against wild borers in the United States especially in  States like Texas when wild BS cause a lot of damage the diversity and use of  hunting dogs has helped Farmers respond to a range of challenges they must  gath
er knowledge and experience to find effective Solutions not only related  to to protecting agriculture but also ensuring the safety and sustainability  of the environment and the surrounding [Music] communities so since these Solutions  have been affecting in preventing the growth of colonies of some invasive species do you  believe in any other better solution if so please don't forget to share your comments and  opinions down below plus don't forget to share like And subscribe to support our C
