[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 18882"] JPO --- the way most hog traps are designed, I think a calf would have to be a bit "out of the ordinary" to be attracted to the bait and push the swinging door in to gain entry. The rancher that owns my deer lease property hasn't caught any calves in his hog traps and he runs quite a few animal units on that particular 2,800 acre tract. And even if a calf were to gain entry, IF you are able to check the trap every day or so there would probably be no real harm come to the calf. Incidently, a friend of mine has about a 1,600 acre Coastal pasture lease between Madisonville and Centerville. A few years ago he drilled 400 acres of oats for winter grazing of his calf crop. The pigs really worked over the oat patch so he started trapping. One of his first catches was a sow with 8 piglets. He ate the sow and sold the piglets in town for $10 each.
