Hog Help....PLEASE
I've had a corn feeder at the back of my land for the last year and hogs have been there virtually every night eating there full.
I just bought a new 8'X6'X4' welded trap to catch some of those rascals. I've put corn inside it along with some old bread and even doused the inside of the trap with HOG HEAVEN (sweet hog attractant). I get pictures on my game camera every night of the pigs all around the trap....even sticking their nose in it trying to get some corn.....but they just WILL NOT push the door open and walk in for the FEAST!!!
Do I need to wire the door open and let them come in an out for a while so they get used to the trap???
Any help would be welcomed

RE: Hog Help....PLEASE
drive a stick into the ground so it will hold the door part way open but not enough to hold the door if it swings shut on the stick. The hogs will push the door the rest of the way open to enter the trap. The door will then swing shut pushing past the stick and you have a hog. Is that clear?
