Pretty good night trapping

[6GUNSONLY]

14 in all, one old sow, two young males, 6 young females, five piglets. Piglets didn't come in the trap, momma left them in a nest in the grass about 25 ft. From the trap. Several piglets f
Got away but I expect the coyotes will dispose of them pretty quickly. Grandson Lane looking on.

Nice pile of pork!!
Are you using a corral trap, or box??
Mine are being ignored at the present time.
Good job

Good harvesting there! Curious on trap too and what you are using for bait.

Jaeger Pro gate with remote drop (cell phone activated), active camera sending pics about every two minutes so you can tell when the whole sounder is in the trap. We built our own enclosure with rigid fence panels, 16' square(ish). Had a small corn feeder in the trap which we supplemented with soured corn/Koolaid bait. We built the enclosure and just let them get used to it for a few days before we installed the gate. Thought it might take them a few days to get used to the gate but they came straight in the same night we put the gate in. We have another bunch of mostly boars we are hoping to catch next. They came to the enclosure a couple of nights but the two groups of hogs wouldn't mix - if one came in, the other hung back and milled about.

Excellent job,,,, keep us posted if the boars come in.

Curious if you transported them and then dispatched them or if this was done inside the trap?

Dispatched in the trap. Illegal to transport live in Alabama.

Around here it is hard to get them to go into a trap that you killed some in. Do yall have that problem?

Not so far.
