I have a question for the experienced hog trappers on the green screen. If I kill hogs while they are in the trap, will other hogs still come in it. I have heard that if hogs are killed in a trap to remove them others wont come in. What are your thoughts or experiences.

yes they will -
We kill them in the trap and it takes several days before they will go back in the trap.Comment

Yes and no...I've had some that I had to move the trap over some, to catch more. I've also caught some the very next day.Comment

our pigs are so trap shy!Comment

Once I killed 17 in a trap and hauled them off. The next day I caught 11 in the same trap.
I have also seen hogs get trap shy and they just won't go in one.Comment

Caught 3 in one of my box traps a week ago, shot them inside, and this morning caught another small sow. Same day I caught a 190-lb boar in another box trap and this morning had another small boar in it.
One lesson I've learned--don't be stingy with the corn--hunger/appetite trumps caution lots of the time. Paint the bottom of the trap gold!!!Comment

Ive noticed much less activity in trap if I shoot them in it. I like to cover the blood with fresh dirt, I have seen that help.Comment

I think it has more to do with seeing their buddies stuck in there the previous day than anything. I don't think hogs care less about blood.Comment
