[QUOTE="jackinok09, post: 4171509, member: 51322"] Lots of good info online about building (relatively) low cost hog traps. I personally use the guillotine type doors and they work well. Just a few tips I've found works for me. My current trap is @45 ft across and has 3- 4ft wide doors that close at once when tripped. I use a pull pin type trigger , not a rooting type, and found it to be very reliable. If possible set your trap up in brush or wooded area and don't clear the inside except as needed to set panels.hogs like cover and that also increases your chances of catching during the day. I use a auto feeder and feed constantly throughout the year. Gates are propped open until a sounder is used to using the gates, and come in often. I've used various feeds but plain corn has worked best for me as hogs in my county are used to feeding at deer feeders. IF you use a liquid such as diesel, strawberry soda, etc mix your feed and let it soak a few days then drain it well before you pour it in a automatic feeder.most of these timers are not very waterproof especially around the feed spin plate, and you'll often ruin your timer. Lastly and maybe most important. Be VERY careful about the scent you leave when setting trap or filling feeder.
