Have a buddy with one of those. He’s caught and killed dozens upon dozens. He drives his loader tractor down there and has his son lift him above the trap in the bucket so he doesn’t have to shoot through the bars. Once they’re all dead they load them in the bucket and go dump them off in a pit a little ways away.

It certainly did the job but I can't see the point of having it rotate as it falls. It seems like that just slows down the process.
Think that the ramps are there to allow it to be winched up by one person.

Is much easier than shooting through the fence!

They are designed to be operated with a camera that connects to the trap and cell phone.
The camera picks up motion and sends the operator a text with a pic. If the pic is deer or coons, you roll over and go back to sleep. If it’s pigs, you open the app, wait for the group to get inside the ring, and drop it. As long as you and the camera have cell service, you can trap pigs anywhere in the continental U.S., 1,000 miles from the trap? Don’t matter.
The rotation not only enables one person to winch up the outer ring (weighs about 400 lbs), it also makes it impossible for big pigs to pick the ring up.
They work VERY well. They do work best when you have scouted the area, put up game cams, and locate the traps where pigs are moving regularly.

That's how you kill you some pigs now!

That video is a good analogy for Socialism. Free stuff until you get complacent, and then the trap springs shut.

Wonder why it rotates instead of going straight down?
Does it need to start out so high?

I saw one little rascal escape around the left side of the tree behind the trap. Amazing trap! That should clean out a hog population pretty quick!

Parks and wildlife says, if you have a hundred, you have to kill 70 per year to maintain the 100. We have killed hundreds on our lease. I think we haven’t hurt the population at all. I’ve sat out hunting this year and seen 50 pigs at once. There would be a bunch in all four directions. It’s hopeless
