Here's a little step by step of my hog trapping process. I have a buddy who has a serious hog problem, so I decided I was going to try and trap them for him. Here's how I started and a step by step of how and what I did.

Here is the homemade gate(I didn't make it cause I don't trust my welding skills)


I started the pen with 2X4 wire fencing to just let the hogs get used to the pen closure and the came back and reinforced them with cattle panels.






Trap was put up Jan 11 and baited on the 21st. I have a feeder in there throwing more food everyday in the evening. Hogs were on it in no time, but because the trail camera failed to get pictures to confirm how many there were useing trap I waited to set until I knew how many. Rebaited and changed camera placement.

Today




Back of the pen where I put sour corn with some diesel fuel.




The pig, trap is set now and waiting on him to return. He has been in trap everynight for the last three days, so with some fresh new corn out hopefully he will be back soon.




Camera is 2 feet off ground.
