Pig Brig Trap Systems Eligible for Arkansas Feral Hog Conservation Incentive Program
Pig Brig-The Boar Stops Here
Breakdown of eligibility, incentives and the Sept 11, deadline for application.
Arkansas landowners can receive 75% reimbursement, up to $20,000, for approved feral hog trapping systems through the 2026 state program
The program reimburses qualifying Arkansas landowners and cooperatives for 75% of eligible trapping system costs, up to $20,000, to help reduce feral hog damage to agricultural land and wildlife habitat.
Eligible participants must own or lease at least 100 acres in Arkansas with evidence of feral hog activity. Smaller landowners may apply cooperatively within the same county if they meet acreage requirements together.
“One of the biggest challenges in feral hog management is removing entire sounders effectively while keeping tools working on the landscape,” said Dr. Aaron Sumrall, Director of Outreach, Education & Research at Pig Brig Trap Systems. “This program helps reduce cost barriers and supports more effective long-term trapping efforts.”
The 2026 program allows one trap for 100–500 acres, two traps for 501–1,499 acres, and up to three traps for 1,500+ acres. Existing trap ownership does not affect eligibility.
Reimbursement is issued in two stages: 45% after purchase approval and 30% after the first documented trapping event, for a total of up to 75%, subject to the $20,000 cap.
Pig Brig Trap Systems are among the approved trapping systems. Its patented net design allows continuous entry without gates or triggers and can be set up by one person in under an hour without cell service or moving parts. They are available online or at all Arkansas River Valley Tractor locations.
Arkansas approved 251 landowners in the 2024 program, with more than 8,400 feral hogs reported removed to date.
Applications close September 11, 2026. Learn more at:
