I have trap gates built in the feeder pens plus one steel trap. Rubber boots and scent killer helps. Don't drive right up to trap either, they can smell the carbon monoxide left by 4 wheelers etc.

I made a pass by feeder in the Ranger one day before I climbed in stand. Several deer walked over the place I had driven, jumped in feeder pen, stayed a while. A bit later a group of piggies came through the fence headed to feeder, when they crossed over the place I drove, they turned double back flips, hauled ass back the way they came. We park a hundred yards away now, rubber up and scent kill. Catch a lot more.

Prop open your push gate with a stick about 18" long, I did that at first, but now use a 3' 2x2. I have a 1/16 cable from 2x2 to bowl under feeder, then to back to other side of pen. This lets more get in before they trip cable.

The enclosed trap has a feeder on top, it goes off once a day. They get used to coming every day. We set the traps when we go to lease. Hope to catch some Memorial weekend. I sure like catching the SOB's. Like shooting cshit out of them even more.

I'm gonna try the diesel in the corn next weekend. It may help hide our scent also.

Diesel in the corn is the bomb. Supposedly if you catch them when they are small and castrate them they will go back where they come from.

Haven't done it in years as don't get out often enough to check traps. Always reminds me of my grandfather as that was his main hobby after he retired. He would castrate, cut the ears off and turn them loose and then only shoot the ones with no ears as they were better eating. Then he would b**** constantly about his hay fields being torn up

We have a new high school built way out. Pigs are jacking up the landscaping all around it. The ball fields are fenced or they would tear them up too!!

Most important thing is, shoot him on the other end. Not in front of the gate!!!

There have been feral pigs for years on the northern part of the San Pedro River. They pretty much stayed in one area and local rancher would let people hunt them for a fee. Now they are starting to move upstream. If this continues we will have the same problems in Arizona. Maybe the wolves will kill them instead of killing calves.

San Pedro River begins in Mexico and flows north into the Gila River.
