hog question stumped?

[TxAg]

I've had them climb out of s gooseneck cattle trailer with no tarp on top in a dairy queen parking lot in Yorktown TX....every single one of about 20 in about 30 seconds.

A panel ain't nothing for them

I hate to laugh, but that had to have been a sight

[Trophydoehunter]

weld what ever you put on it good!! I had a hog actually break some bull panel before!

[Geezy Rider]

Yep, they'll do it. I've heard to only wire the panels about half way up the post and when they get close to the top it'll bend back into the pen dumping them back in and then spring back up.

Lol man I bet that was a sight !!!!

They scattered pretty quick...I was on my way to sell them...

I left pretty fast myself

That would be awesome to watch, unless it was your trailer.

That's sounds like a simple fix.
I'll have to try that on our trap.

An officer in our archery club claimed it worked great for him. I plan on trying it when I build a figure six trap.

A man cant even enjoy a hunger buster without some pigs messing things up.

The bad thing about puting a top on it you will catch deer in it.

Sounds like a real Redneck Moment to me!!

We built one of the heart shaped traps, Wexford or something like that, using 5' tall goat panels.
We haven't had anything climb over yet, but we haven't caught anything big yet either.

We've got pictures of several does entering and inside of pen. Even had one picture of a doe jumping over the 5' panel. They are some amazingly agile animals.

Yep, seen them do it before in our round traps. In fact, at our local hog catching festival, I've seen them jump up and get their front feet over the top of a 4' fence and scramble over the top - sending spectators and staff scrambling around the football field (where the catching is located) in order to catch them. Hogs are a lot more agile and a lot better jumpers than people think! Sure, they prefer to dig under; but, in a pinch, they're able to jump pretty durn high!

[lesson 101]

Yep have video of one climbing out of mine. Fixed that by put a fence around the trap completely, caught a hog the next day, and couldn't get out.

[Strain]

Is this what you are asking?

[dclifton]

I've had them climb pens as we'll. also had a buddy of mine that had several climb out of his cattle trailer also.
