Hog Help

For those of you that trap hogs here is a question. We have field A and B and C. There are 20 adults and several juveniles in field A and B. They literally have destroyed our A field completely today and have started on field B. Field C has a jager pro trap purchased from Elk Hunter with a timer feeder and corn in the trap. Field A and B and C are all about 500 yrs from one another in a triangle with c being the top A and B being the bottom. No sign of the pigs in field C should I move the trap to field A or B or a location between A and B? Or should I keep trap in field C and hope they move to it after they completely destroy field A and B?

Great talking to you this morning. Hope we got it planned out! Will be waiting on the call!

Thanks Barry!. It looks like possibly 28 adults in my most recent pics. Gonna be ready to move the trap Wednesday if they feed there again tomorrow and hopefully they will cooperate. Getting them gone would help a lot they have ruined 2 fields and run the deer out of the area.

UGH!

Hope you catch all of those destructive things.

Keep us updated.


God Bless,

7 piglets in tonight's pics along with 22-25 adults. Trap is being moved to them tomorrow and hopefully kill pics for thanksgiving! If anyone wants some pigs let me know.

Man...hit me up when I'm home and I'll take 'em off your hands for you!

I Might take some off your hands let us know

The pigs have not shown up the past two nights since the trap was moved. Will keep updating

Pigs showed up yesterday. They have now split into 2 groups. I saw around 50 pigs on field B yesterday. And each of them fed in both field B and A. The largest group 25-30 did not enter trap on filed A. A group of 18 stayed on A longer and all but 3 of the group entered the trap and fed for an hour. Hoping to catch all of them somehow.

Had 24 in trap yesterday but another group of 11 ran em off. Headed down now planning to drop the gate on either group today if they show up. If you want any and can meet tonight between heiberger and Pelham text me 2056669691

28 of 32 went in trap today at 415 then they spooked and left.

That's a lot of pigs.

Turns out there were 3 more babies than I thought 31 of 35 were in the trap before they spooked

I've got access to some thermals and NVG type stuff if you want to give that a whirl on the fields the trap isn't set-up on. I'm not too far from you either. If interested shoot me a PM

That is illegal until February

Thanks, I just moved here and am not familiar as I haven’t looked into hog hunting here yet. Figured I’d throw it out there if it was an option.

I know in other areas of the country it is illegal to hunt at night during deer season but if the destruction/damage is above a certain amount you can meet with DEM and they’ll inspect and issue special permits legalizing it for a few weeks. Not sure Alabama does this but for a farmer who’s crops/fields are his livelihood it might be something to inquire about.

I wish they would!

Had all 40ish pigs in the trap tonight and the battery on my gate is evidently dead. Frustrated but gonna get it replaced and hope for a hog killing tomorrow night

How long does the battery on the gate usually last? I'm looking at getting one of these systems myself.

My charger was bad. Got a new charger charged battery and caught 38 tonight!

Got to say Thank You to Elkhunter. He helped me out big time from selling me all the right equipment to talking me through what to do (mainly be patient and relax) as I went through the process of setting up the trap and catching my first group of pigs. He has been a wealth of knowledge a d helped me a bunch! Call him if you need a hog trap!

38 is a load! Have any pics of them in the trap? What diameter trap was required to get that many to enter and stay in one spot long enough to drop the gate?

It was one our standard size traps. 8 ft gate with 6 16 ft by 60 inch tall panels.

What Barry said ^^^^^

Had 49 in it the night before but had a bad gate battery due to my broken charger and could not drop. Hope to get the other 11 soon. Pics in next post

Man that’s awesome! I know that’s a good feeling to get rid of those things. Good job. Hate to tell ya though but before long you’ll be right back at square one again with them. Keep up the good fight

WOOEEE!

That is sho nuff some hams there!

Congrats on the catch!

God Bless,

What a catch! It must have been crazy to walk up on that many hogs in one spot.

Tried looking at the pics but got an error that they couldn’t be found?

Not sure why they still there. Text me at 2055669691 and I will text u the pics if you like.

Not really they were calm and stayed in the back of the cage kind of huddled up

Did they stay still while you shot them, or did they go bonkers ? I’ve never had anything to do with killing them in a trap. Probably gives new meaning to the phrase “work begins when you pull the trigger”.

Most of them stayed calm. One or two hit the gate or bit the fence

And yes work begins when you drop the gate

They act much more aggressive when you remove them during daylight. Big difference than how they act at night.
