Hog Trap Info??
I'm considering a kinda pricey lease for hog hunting and can re-coup some of the money by selling live hogs. Was wondering if any one has plans for a hog trap? The less welding involved, the better, lol. Thanks!!

Try this site. I don't think there is any welding involved.

RE: Hog Trap Info??
awshucks,
Excluding permanent type pens, the best portable I ever saw and got to use, was a pen built on a two wheel trailer. A friend of mine built one. It was on a two wheel trailer frame that he could raise the tires with a boat winch mounted on the tow bar. In other words, by using the winch, he could lower the pen to the ground, by raising the tires, which pivoted on the axle and then held in place by droping a pin thru a hole in the axle.
All you had to do when you caught a hog or hogs, was back up to it with a truck or 4 wheeler, winch down the tires on the pen, hook up and drive off, greatest thing for trapping hogs I've seen since peanut butter.
For bait, we used everything, from watermelons, candy from a candy factory, syrup, soaked corn, etc. This is somewhat gross, but we have even used dead chickens from a chicken farm. A hog will eat anything, period. If you can stand it, a hog will eat it, even its' young.
