    Do you have the hog panels on the outside of the t-post? If so, you might want to rethink that gwb 'strategery'

    I have 2 metal ones similar to the one doe killer pictured. Ive had as many as 8 in there (2 being 150+ and some smaller ones) and never had any escape. I also trapped one that we estimated at 400 that could stand up on the side and touch the top and he never flipped it. Good luck with yours! KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!

    The True Value in Harleyville has some good looking hog traps with slanted doors. They're about 4'x4'x8' (as well as I remember) and made from material similar to cattle panels. A friend has one and caught six pigs at once in it the first time he set it. They had a price of $380 on it. I would think an easily portable trap would be an advantage.

    PB as of right now what I have in this trap is about 20 bucks(maybe) in EMT conduit and 4 cattle panels at 20 bucks each. Roughly 20 T posts and 50 feet of 2x4 fence material I had from old dog pen. So 100 dollars and my labor is all. Pretty dang cheap and once I got the few bugs worked out it should be a good trap. I price traps and doors online and I can't justify paying what they are going for. This trap should hold up fine once I set it up tomorrow. After a few lessons I have learned and weakness that were found by me and pig that escaped.

    I will keep posting and updated as I go.

    I have an old trampoline that I'm going to use as a frame for a portable trap. Makes attaching the cattle panels fairly easy and its easy to stake down with rebar. You might could find one that someone wanted hauled off in order to make a portable trap.

    Shot two this afternoon bout that size a black one and a white one. Lost the blood trail after about thirty minutes and said the heck with it. Wasn't looking forward to that quarter mile uphill drag either.

    Well figured I was going to have a hog today but after I left one of the landowners decided to come down and drive his four wheeler to the trap to "see" it. No clue why they. Ouldnt just look from a distance, but they drove right up to it and shot pistols on the range about 300 yards away from trap site. So no camera pictures of hogs last night an only a few coons also. I was pissed this morning, but since it is not my land and I am just trapping as a favor I really can't say much. So well see if they come back and how long it takes'

    The boar would have still come late at night. Probably a sow coming into heat somewhere. He'll be back.
