Digging a hole for hogs

Has anyone ever thought about or tried digging a 8ft wide by 8 ft long hole 6-7 ft deep with a backhoe and baiting it with corn and other goodies hogs like and using It to catch hogs?
In theory the hogs would feed around the edge and smell the goodies in the bottom of the hole and go in to feed and never come back out because of the depth. Which you could then go up shoot them and then cover the hole back up with dirt and start over in a new spot?

Oh yea, they will get out if they go in......On the Northern end of Pinelog there is a creek with almost vertical banks that are easily 15-20' high and they just cruise right up the sides whereas we would find it very difficult to get up there at all, trust me:D

Put what the law would consider to be a "man trap" or "pitfall" on your property and if a trespassing poacher, not to mention a lost kid, fell into it and was hurt you would have a real problem. Not a good idea even if it worked for hogs.
