Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Another damn pig pen

Reworking another pen to take to East Texas. I built this pen and gate a few years ago for a friend. He went cheap, had me us 3/8 instead of 5/8. Pigs bent it all up, so I’m redoing it. He quit hunting, gave it back to me, 24 pieces of fence, two pig gates. They are 34” hog panel, making them 4 feet high now. There is some big ass pigs in Newton county, will put plenty drive posts to keep them from picking fence up. It seems like I’m always working on something. I don’t know how I had time to hold a job. No livestock to contend with there, no cows and no goats.

When feral hogs first became a nuisance I had a ball shooting and trapping them. Now several years later I see how much work they are and the amount of time they use up.

It does take a little time, have 4 round pens and a cage trap on the one lease. It takes time to go set them, check them, unset them when you are ready to leave. If you catch some, gotta kill them, load them on trailer, haul to bone yard.

Our hogs got so trap shy snares were the only useful tool other than night hunting.

I bet we have some that are trap shy too

Your doing good work Hanco. Keep killing as many of those suckers as you can.

Me and GWB are after them bastids. 44 this calendar year so far

44?

Honestly, hanco from the pictures I have seen this year I would have guessed over 200, easy!

Probably got that many last year, will have to make a count from the pics. Lots of pigs on this place, spring Fed creek runs through the place, so they have year around water, water comes up about a quarter mile from where I took pic.

Nice spring!

Got it done, but may make one more piece.

Looks good

Thank you, scraped together, got a hundred bucks in it. I added one more section to it, made it a little bigger.

Would you mind posting a couple pictures of your trap door. I’m looking to build a couple new traps. Thanks.

Yes. I will. In Nevada. Pics don’t load worth a damn

one inch square tube is about the easiest thing to build one




Metal shelf worked well, wish I had more




Made three doors at one time, one now

Thanks

heck my wife shot at a group of 5 here in north houston last week while i was out of town for business, she was alerted by the ring doorbell at 130am and they was destroying her flowerbed about 30ft from the front door

They would destroy the ball fields at one of the high schools. They had to fence to keep them out
