Keep the stick away from the trap. Good chance it will be bumped into it and allow escape.

I just set the trap in the hole a ways and cover the hole.
Can use sticks/ bark to make a curtain and put dirt behind it. Trap is ahead of curtain/ fill.

Trap tied to a drag or staked.

Youll either find a tumbleweed nearby, or see the chain go into a mound of freshly ground dirt.

Be careful yanking on that chain. They can kind pop out of the dirt and fly towards ya LMAO.

Cool to be hanging onto the chain w a 16lb boar on the end super pissed off.

Just put heavy stuff over othrr holes and force it to come out of the hole w the trap.

Hell last ones caught got a live trap. Block other holes w concrete blocks and just make an arch over the unblocked hole to force travel into the trap.

Works even without bait.
