going to try and build a trap. smaller trap for single or a couple smaller pigs. what are some dimensions you have had good luck with?
or better yet give measurements and post a pic

If you're gonna do a small trap i think you're going to educate 5 hogs for every one you catch and make them trap shy.

I THINK a better idea is get several hog panels (like cattle panels but they have smaller holes in bottom to keep little pigs from escaping) and find a shady spot in some trees and kind of brush in a larger trap. Put a root or swing style door and brush it on real well but don't set it to close until you've prebaited a couple weeks and given them time to get used to it and going in and out. Set up a game cam to get an idea how many are using it and how often. Set it and go back in a day and then every day. Law requires that I believe. Good luck.

From what I'm told a small trap just makes hog problems worse.

Why do a smaller trap?

It does make ot worse. I have one currently that her last little ones gpr trapped by my neighbor now ahe has another group of pigs and she is so hard to trap. For a month of I go put bait out she wont return for 3-5 days with her mew babies. She is gonna be a pain to trap

No pics, but the dimensions are: 1/8" x 96". You can buy them prebuilt for $35 a dozen. They can be adjusted to catch any size hog you want. They are the cheapest, easiest to set and most versatile hog trap made. They're called snares.

No thanks. I will take my yager pro. I have never seen 38 hogs in a snare at one time.

The Yeager pro and other remotely activated pen traps are great, but not everyone can spend thousands of dollars on hog control. Snares are a very cheap and effective trap that will catch the whole sounder at a fraction of the cost of a pen style trap. They can be made deer proof and will catch old trap shy hogs that won't come near a pen style trap. Nothing about a wild hog appeals to me. I don't care anything about hunting them and don't want them on my place. They tear up roads and food plots and compete with deer and turkey for a limited amount of resources. I want to remove them as cheap and as quick as I possibly can. I don't want to see them on camera or shoot them day or night, I just want them gone. I can't think of a better way to achieve my goal than snares.

Aren't snares illegal in Alabama?

Land set snares are illegal. He’s gotta be catching them in the water.

Thats probably what he is doing Matt

Matt can you post the snaring regulation as it is written please?
