I think some people give them more credit for being smart/ getting trap shy than they should . I’ve only ever trapped some for meat and before everyone hated them and it was against the law to release we use to catch the same ones multiple times . One time I caught a big dried up sow and released her and had her again the next morning . Maybe she was just hungryI used the Hogslammer trap door a few years ago, and it worked great. I tied the doors open where the pigs could freely go in and out a few days prior to setting it. The night I had it set to go off only four or five out of the thirteen had gone in prior to it tripping and slamming shut. By morning all but one of the remaining pigs had found their way in by pushing through the saloon style doors. The slamming of the doors apparently didn't bother them a bit. My trail cam showed the 13th pig hanging out on the outside of the trap and eventually wandering off at daylight. I caught her in it a month later and so far no more pigs have blessed me with their presence. I was really surprised at how well it worked. I figured once those steel gates slammed shut it would be over as they do slam loudly.
Our landowner has one. Less than a year. I talked with the owner of the company. Check the other thread. The company owner will call you.Howard Roark,
How long have you had your Pig Brig? A concern I have with it is how long it will last compared to a steel trap. It may outlast a steel trap, just need some info from owners.
