This is a Lightweight Hog Trap I designed because people kept asking for an inexpensive trap. Problem is I sell 3 or 4 of them to every regular trap now. The issue that many people have is that they never catch hogs.
I set this up last night before dark about 10 miles from home just to get some pictures of trapped hogs.
The key here was setting up on a trail where hog sign was found. Then creating a natural funnel with some branches laying around just so they don't avoid the trap. In the dark they will smell the corn and fight to get to it first often. 2-- 40 lbers roughly. Got them home, first one in the pen no problem, second one I was cutting the rope off her legs and holding one leg to toss her in the pen but she was so muddy my leather gloves got slippery and she bolted. I cahsed her with my 22 pistol and popped a couple rounds in her but she kept on trucking. Woke up the neighborhood with the squealing and shooting. Oh well, they're getting used to me.
