[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1303029, member: 6291"] That was not meant to be a jab at you CB. Its just that we are human and they are hogs so they are better at thinking like hogs. You are absolutely right about using cameras. Night vision is ever better to study the hogs and how they are reacting around your traps. When your trap triggers you should not have any loud pops or noises. I put rubber where my doors hit. When the trap closes all the hogs should still be around it... not running around crazy like in that youtube video. That teaches those hogs big metal objects are bad. Realistically you cant always get every pig in the trap at once so not spooking the ones on the outside is key to catching the whole group. That also goes to not making a lot of commotion with trailers, not shooting hogs in the trap, no squealing pigs, ect when you go to load. There is a good chance the rest of that group is very near. Hogs standing on the outside of your trap when you go to check them is a good sign. Some times I run young dogs on the ground when I check traps to start them off hunting. When the dogs start finding hogs 50yds from the traps in the brush that is a good sign they are ready to go hunting. Its also how I know the other hogs stay near. The true test that your system is right is that you can catch hogs that you have caught before. You have conditioned those hogs to not be scared of the trap to the extent that they are willing to go in it again. Hogs are fairly territorial if they have every thing they need in that area. If I set a trap and see I have 30 hogs coming to it with a camera or NV it is essential that I catch all 30. If you set your traps up close to where hogs stay... not where they stay... not where they feed... you can catch them out of an area. Other hogs will filter in but you can catch that pack and totally wipe them out of "their" area. [/QUOTE]
