[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 178888, member: 3162"] Lilly, The bull panel is good for big hogs but the tiny ones can get right out. The mesh is too big. I couldn't see your trap pics earlier. I just now saw them. You have likely caught yourself some 20 to 30 pounders that squeezed out and will never go back in. Now they are grown. They are tearing up your pasture and giving alarm to any takers that would have otherwise entered. Get you some sheep panel with 4 inch mesh and line the entire bull panel with it before you ever use it again. That is a nice trap every other direction. You can bend the sheep panel to fit by either using hickey bars or else just use a tractor front bucket and press the panel between boards or over a cross tie. If you tie the heck out of the seams on the bottom side with some #9 wire, it will hold. It would be best if you could weld it. I have seen 30 pounders go through bull panels while the guy who trapped them was scrambling to hold them all. I had two by the hind feet and couldn't do much to help. They will go through that thing. I have witnessed it. No telling how many he had caught before we got there. He didn't know pigs got "trapwise". [/QUOTE]
