We put some Big&J hog juice in 4 different traps with corn. This is the only trap that caught anything over 2 nites. Not sure if the juice helped or hindered our effortsGood job on catching a big one & you are correct...those older ones do not like going in a trap! It usually takes some Honey Buns,or Donuts to lure them in
He was trying to jump the fence when we walked up. Had the inside all tore up. No,we’ve got 5-6 corral traps on the property and there’s guillotine doors on all of them. We keep a feeder running close by to keep them in the area. This one has a 5 gallon bucket feeder to that slings corn inside the trap. We pin the doors up and let them come and go when not in use. We’ve caught hundreds of pigs in them over the yearsDang that’s a big ole pig! That trap set up is sweet too! I think those posts being so close together is the only thing that kept him from destroying that trap and keeping him there! That’s one stout circle
Have you tried a corral type door?
I think he was to big. I’ve had the smaller ones climb out of a cage trapWhy the hog did not climb out is a mystery to me.
Good looking trap and pig. Mine is the same design with t post and the door. My mistake was making it to big. Pigs have a chance to get up some speed to jump and ram the sides. I’ve lost a couple like that.
we use 3 panels of hog fence. We got it at tractor supply. We get the door anchored in place,attach one panel to the side of the door and bend it into an arch. Over lap the next panel and wire them together. Bend that one into an arch and do the same with the last panel anchoring it to the other side of the door. You can adjust the panels into a circle and start driving posts. You can’t use to many. I think we used 40 on the last one we built. For the door, I rip down a piece of 5/4 deck board 2” and sandwich it in between 2 2x4’s providing a groove for the door to slide in. Attach a cable to the top of the door and through a small pulley or eye hook. Attach a 16” piece of rebar to the end. We drive 2 pieces of rebar in the ground at the back of the trap to hook that on.Hey Mguthie
I agree that's a good looking trap. Can you tell us how you built it and what not to build? Jammeri5 said he made his too big, so I though you might give us your thought? I haven't gotten any pictures of hogs on our club but my neighbor has so I am looking into building one.
Thanks
How many panels did you use. This pig was trying to jump out when we walked up. He definitely tested the fenceGood looking trap and pig. Mine is the same design with t post and the door.
