Is there a better spot to place it than another? Put it up against brush or just kinda out in the open? What should I bait the trap with? I know corn and pig-out would probably work good...but is there something else that can be used to get them in? I briefly read where you shouldn't shoot the hog inside the trap...any inputs on this?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
