Mods, if this is not the best forum for my threar please feel free to move it.
I built a 4'x6' hog trap earlier this year. I have caught 1 250lb boar. Ok, I baited the trigger heavy and pined the gate so it would not trip then I posted a a camera at the gate. I have dozens of coon pictures eating my bait. Recently there has been lots of big hogs, both boars and sows but only 1 went in the trap. Several have spent a lot of time examining both the entrance and the floor of the thap. The hogs must cross a piece of angle iron to enter the trap. The floor of the trap is made of a hog panel.
Yesterday I pulled the card and again had some mature hogs not crossing the angle but THIS TIME I had several pictures on 2 nights of between 10 and 12 piglets in the trap. That would have been good eating! !!!!
My question, are the older hogs that much smarter? What can I do to fix it?
