Dan, the fist two traps I set up were small 4X8 with a trigger to drop a door down. They work great but would only catch one or two hogs because when the trigger is hit and the door drop no other hags can get in. The swinging door allows more hogs to come in but keeps the crapped hogs in. I just soak the corn in pure water until it swells and then pour it in a trough. Start by leaving the swing door open until you get the hogs coming into the trap then set it to swing. They will get used to the door location and then will push it open and go in. I used commercial grade cable ties to attach the panels together, they work. Make your trap large, 16X8. We used heavy duty bolt cutters to cut the panels to size.

Swing Door Image that is easy. I used a counter weight on a pulley rather a spring, it makes it easy for the hogs to push open and does not scare them as much. The trap I made that worked were not portable.

The hogs left my area about 4 years ago when the dry weather caused all the creeks and beaver ponds around me to dry up. My traps are all gone now but I may end up building another as this dry weather is OVER.

Good luck and it is some fun #$%^ catching these hogs. Fix up a small trailer with a match up door so you can drive the hogs out of the pen and into the trailer.

Hello Danbo,
Check out this link. I ain't saying buy any of this, but there is some good information contained in their videos. Good stuff to watch on a rainy day.Feral Hog Control Georgia | Hog Hunting Equipment Florida
