I really ain't seen nothing in you're post that means much more than the average pig shat. Pigs will root through anything between them and food

I'm done. Bring on the damn ban stick it's been awhile


I will admit I don't know everything about trapping hogs. I am learning more everyday. But, I do believe that a hog PREFERS to eat where there is no hog shat. Not saying they won't do it but they prefer not to do so.

I sell hog traps and I trap hogs. My goal is to catch as many as I can in the shortest period of time. And I do so by getting my hogs shot and out of the trap as fast as I can. This reduces the amount of shat in the trap. I also clean up any shat that I see in the trap. This shat ALWAYS is normally located in an area of the trap. This area is around the outside edge. NEVER under the feeder.

When I prebait an area, I NEVER see hog shat under the feeder. I see lots on trails leading to the feeder but still 50 yards or so away from the feeder.

Just noticing their preferences along leads me to my conclusions.

So to be the most effective and efficient trapping I can be I will cater to their preferences.
