can't say I've ever seen a trap like this, I'm sure there are people on here who have - short video

Looks like one youngster, almost made it out on the left side.

Pretty effective for certain.

Ultra cool..... That little one on the left almost made it, but not quite. Looks like a very efficient setup.

They can go through smaller holes than you would think possible.

That's just got to be a mess of good eats. Roasted suckling pig, yum...

Those type traps will set you back some bucks...

Follically Challenged: We need one of these!!!

We'd buy a remote-activated gate system for our property, but we don't have enough cell service to use the cameras. Hogg Boss is the local brand, and the designer's probably sold a lot of them.

Some of them almost got squshed. I think Hanco's trap door set up looks a little more efficient.

$7k to $8k

Flat pig at 9 oclock ....

Amazing how fast those little bastards are. I would not have guessed any of them could have made it to the fence before it came down.

Yeah, the little white one got squshed. I hate it when that happens.

I see something running away in back of the trap, a little to the left of center. Can't tell what it is though.

It looks like fun, I can make a round trap for about 300 bucks.

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.

Pigs can move fast, hard to hit on the run!

Getting to be a problem here.

Aren't those types of traps designed to be activated once you have the entire sounder feeding at the same time? So you catch the entire herd?

Will a pig walk through a one way trap door? One that swings open and can be entered but not exited like a fish trap?

Some will, most will not.

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.

Think that the ramps are there to allow it to be winched up by one person.

I drive my Polaris up to the fence, climb onto the roof. 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.

I believe you are correct

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!

You can’t kill them out. 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

Impressive!
