Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Turkey season

We have a 2x2 with a hole drilled in it. A 1/16" cable runs from 2x2 to an eight inch pvc cap, then to the opposite side of feeder pen. The cap is under feeder. We put corn in the cap. Pigs either root cap or hit cable. That pulls 2x2 out from under gate. Deer, turkeys, aoudad, or turkeys sometimes hit the trip wire. Works pretty good all in all.

Gate in in the normal open position in this picture. Next time I go I will try to take pic of gate when it's set.

How much do you think feeder will hold? I made 3 of these in 82 or 83. This is only one I have left.

I build trap gates now with one gate. All you need is one gate. Gate is black,so it's hard to see. White cap hard to see also. I have 3 feeder pens. Another guy has one I built also. I wish we had ten setups like this.





Found one that is set
