So I'm new to the trap game for hogs. ddp you have any tips or suggestions? I have the trap near a feeder. I still have the feeder going off. Should I continue to feed and bait the trap? I lowered the feeder to only 4 seconds just so the deer can eat the corn still. Attached is the set up.
We had 8 hogs in the trap the other night. The door closed 12am. They were able to get out at between 553am and 615am. My brother arrived at tap at 615am and they were gone. 2 of three hogs were 200lbs. The other 8 were only 2 month old piglets. Is there a suggestion on when to get them? I know the sooner the better. We are in the process of getting more rebar to stake the trap down as we don't have any currently. The hogs were moving the trap and got it on the pine row and were able to get out. The trap is a solid 400lbs at least.
