The corral trap has been locked open for several days.  The hogs have become accustomed to coming and going.   Come in and get a bite to eat, then depart.   But today, the trap is activated.   Trigger is in back of trap.   They just need to bump it and the door slams shut.  No escape.

MOULTRIE DIGITAL GAME CAMERA

Trapped!

No more rooting hay meadows for these critters.

We locked the traps open for several days allowing the hogs

to enter and exit with no consequences.

She is trying to find way out.

We’ve caught hogs that weighed over 250 pounds and

they could not escape.

+++

MOULTRIE DIGITAL GAME CAMERA

Somehow, she squeezes between drop gate and

edge of trap.  The left side of the trap appears

bent out.

++++

MOULTRIE DIGITAL GAME CAMERA

Two pigs remain in trap.

Later they escape.

We will drive “T” post along edge of trap

to prevent future escapes.

Big Boar Feral Hog caught in corral trap.

In less than two hours,

he escapes by crawling over the 52′ panels.

Our traps will need to be modified

if we hope to keep these big hogs.

He has been very careful

It is Saturday night at 8:22 pm and

a big boar hog is inside a corral trap.

He has avoided the trap door trigger.

+++++

It is now Sunday night at 8:33 pm.

The big boar hog is back inside

the trap eating corn and still avoiding the trigger.

We are expecting him to make a

mistake in next couple nights.
