I found a small hog trap VERY close to my property line toward the end of deer season. I believe they trapped a couple hogs and have and given the rest of them an education on traps in the process. I haven't had a single pig in my trap since I found theirs. Before then I would have them in mine a couple times a day. I was trying to wait till after deer season to kill them. Only because I didn't want a ton of gun fire on this small piece of property at the tale end of deer season. Won't make that mistake again.

What type of trap are you using?

My photobuctet is being a turd right now. Will post a pic in a few. I built it during the season and they were going in it with ease. Once I set the doors they wouldn't go in it. I opened the doors again and they were dang near living in it.

I forgot, my bad. I would open the doors again and get them hammering again. Then I would use paracord and tie it to the trigger and climb a tree near by. And catch them.

Those types of doors are NOT near as successful as folks made them out to be.

Lol! I did that 2 weeks after the season. I have 200 feet of it going in to a shooting house. I Have been baiting it and had a camera on it. They ain't buying it. I even moved the trap.

Are they still in the area?

I remember attending a workshop on hogs in Wallsboro a few years ago. There was a DCNR biologist there and a USDA biologist there. They had all kinds of repetitive type gates on display. They did their presentation and then they had a guest speaker from Auburn there. This guy was a doctorial student or something like that and he was given a project to research different types of gates as part of his degree. He had tons of video and pictures of trap gates with pigs present.

He said only 5% of the pigs entered the repetitive type gates after the gate had been triggered. And the ones that did were all young pigs.

I make sure they are all in there before I drop.

they are deffinatley still in the area. the farmer called me this past saturday begging me to start with the lead poisoning. he just put corn in the ground and he is worried to death

Hollar if you need some help. Have ammo, will travel.

What county? If near Wilcox, call me I will be working there all weekend.

BALDWIN

Extreme did you see the electric fence the farmer put up on us across from Waffle House on the BE. As he was leveling for sod he kept dragging peanuts to the top...now it's in sod...not much deer protein there!

Haven't seen that. I may head out there Sunday, I will look for it. You gettin hammered by the pigs?

Define "smart"

What are you insinuating?

I dont know who you are but you come on here acting like you know everything only makes you look like a dumbass.

Simple question; define smart. It's a relative and abstract term. If you going to say something is smart you have to compare it to something.

See what i mean..Whats it matter??He said the hogs on his property have become educated by the hog traps.No different than deer patterning us.He didnt ask for any kinda English lesson on the word smart.

Smart as a tack? Smart as a whip? Dumb as a box of rocks? Those good comparisons...
