This is a pig trap I built a couple of years ago. It has a feeder that goes off once a day.

I snare quite a few. I liken it to jug line fishing or trot-lining. Set your snare and come back after the morning hunt and run your snare line. just don't get careless or you'll end up face down laughin' your azz' off at your own stupidity glad nuthin' wuz chasin' me! ya! GWB

I have thought about trying that, but I see a lot of deer going under fences. I would like to see a pig come under and get caught. Is that 1/8 cable? A guy that I know catches coyotes with treble hook hung about 4' off the ground. They jump to grab meat, get caught on the hook. He uses a steel leader and rope.
Catching pigs is fun!!

We clean one every now and then, but mostly coyotes eat big sometimes. I caught-killed over 170 last year. The reproduce so fast, I'm not sure we are keeping up. If we manage to kill them out on our lease they move in from across the fence.

Wow, pretty colors in some of them. We started making some "6" traps last year with t posts and cattle panels. The most we ever caught at one time was 12. But we don't have nearly the population in louisiana that texas has.

There must be a big multi-colored boar pig out there. Sows were black. We trapped a big all white male last year.
Yes, there are pigs under every bush here in Texas. Catching them is a ton of fun.

If we manage to kill them out on our lease they move in from across the fence. Dang, I thought our lease had them bad, pics of a dozen pigs at a time are common. Thats a pile of pigs How big a property? also, in some of those pics, is that ticks or blowflys?

1000 acres, has year around creek. I'm sure that's blow flies, it was warm that weekend. I'm pretty sure we have so many is the water. They have to have it to cool down when it's hot. You don't really see that many until you put a camera by your feeders. I don't put cameras out anymore, got tired of pig pics. We are getting a lot of Aoudads now. There are a few Elk also. A damn turkey under every bush too. 50 turkeys in a bunch is not unusual. Deer population is fair. I think there would be more deer if we didn't have so many pigs.

Don't k now what other people use but we use sour corn, fill a 5 gal. bucket about 3/4 full with corn then fill with water and set it in the sun and it will get real stinky in a couple of days, we keep about a dozen buckets working all the time, we have 6 traps that we keep working from the end of deer season till deer season starts again.
some days we get 20 pigs others only 2 or 3 , pigs are smart, so we keep moving our traps every few days, look for pig sign set a trap close by, water really helps. remember pigs are predators ,they kill the hell out of fawns, and eat Quail and other nesting birds like candy. when they can't find anything else to eat, they eat each other, catch em and kill em, that's what we do.

44mc, what you say is right, unless we have no activity after a week or so, we put a camera on each trap hopefully to see what 's going in that location ,some locations just don't work out , Rio7
