[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 178508, member: 1900"] Jersey Lilly - The reason your trap stopped working is because the previously trapped hogs dug out the dirt under the bottom of the cage. Try filling it back in with dirt and layer some old, rotting hay on top. Then bait and set. If they are still in the area, you should be able to catch some fairly quickly. The problem is, when they step into the cage, they feel the wire on the ground and learn to back out. Also, tease them by putting corn on the outside of the trap. They will get into a frenzy and forget about the trap. We are building a fence trap like you mentioned, only bigger. If it is too small, you will have to put a top on it to keep them from jumping out. If it is big enough, they will feel like they can run. We like the heart shape design, too, because we can load them out and haul them to a buying station. Make them pay for the damage, right? ;-) Here's a 256 pound boar we trapped in a 4x3x3 trap with push up doors.
