Hog trap question

[holdem]

This is ridiculous, I'm not cutting the top out of my hog trap the pigs will climb out or jump out.

You must live in africa or australia and have monkey pigs or kangaroo pigs. pigs cant jump worth a darn and i have never seen any pigs hanging around in trees.

Maybe he don't want black panthers to climb into his trap and eat his trapped pigs.

Moral of the story? Don't go check your hog traps with the GW. Lesson learned.

"Panels placed over the top are optional, but, without a top, some hogs may escape by climbing over the panels - especially if the trap is not checked regularly. An effective option to avoid completely enclosing the top is to cut panels into 1- or 1.5-foot widths and attach them along the edges of the top, extending to the inside, around the entire perimeter of the trap. This creates a "prison style" fence to help prevent feral hogs from climbing out".

Pigs can and will climb the walls of a trap to get out. I am not a pro, but I have yet to see a portable trap with sides tall enough to keep a pig from climbing out. As a result, my trap has a top.

Been trapping hogs for 20 years now. Seen them jump out & climb a fence like a squirrel. Had a hog climb over the side of a WW cattle trailer & get away, while I was trying to shoot him with a .22 pistol. Obviously I need to watch the Outlaw Josey Wales movie a few more times! lol

I use both closed top & open top traps, but my open top traps have 5-6 ft sides. You have to be REALLY careful to keep deer out of your closed top traps.

And yes, I am white headed, 58 yrs old, and couldn't give a rats behind if anyone considers me a "pro" or not.

We usually use corn soaked in diesel to bait the traps. This usually deters the deer and hogs could care less.

I agree a top on a trap is a must, I am not an expert but I have have seen a hog jump and scale a 5ft open top trap in a corner. Not saying every hog can do that but when you see it, a top makes more sense.

How about black panthers?
