[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1568599, member: 6291"] The water is not the bait... the hogs are. The water is to keep the hogs alive for a week or more while more keep coming in. Set up a pen that you can keep a couple live hogs in and you will catch more than you can imagine. Especially when sows start coming in heat. They will have the outside wore out. They will push their way in. At one point I had a hog at I kept in a pen for months and fed that I would purposely turn out to mix with the wild hogs... then I would set my big trap and let him bring them to me. This was my largest trap back in the day. It used a panel push door with a feeder and water in it. I kept pigs in it all the time. You would just show up at random and have an extra 5, 10, 15 hogs. It was not uncommon to have 20 or 30 hogs in it at once. The outside was worse out from other pigs circling it until they found that notch you can start to see in the bottom left. Once they went in it to the smaller section there was a doggy door, out of pannel, they would push thru to go in to the big part of the pen. In those days it was not uncommon for us to trap over 1000 hogs a year. It was a significant part of our spending money in high school.
