My first attempt at Figure 6

How much does that panel cost and where can I buy some?


LOL nevermind.. I should have hit refresh before posting.


How many feet around that trap is it or how many panels would it take?

I did research for a week on these things. I've heard some guys using only 2 or 3 16ft panels. I took 3 out there this morning, hooked them all up together, and it barely made it around my feeder. Had to go get another one to make it decent.

Looks good but pig can be smart.

I think we used 4 for each pen, 3 for the circle and 1 for the top, we also have a t post in the center to tie top in a dome shape, makes the pen a lot more rigid, be sure to really lace the panels together good, you can cut the ends of panel and use the wire of the panel to tie together if this makes any sense, good luck.

Would be nice if this worked on coons with a lid on it....

I'd love to walk up on a trap full of 15 of those corn thieves with a .17HMR...revenge would be sweet....

Smart,

Just make another opening like a minnow trap funnel, with the hole just big enough for them to squeeze into but not back out of. I bet you can make that work, especially if you put the funnel on the lid, small side down, that way they have to drop into the trap and climb upsidedown on the ceiling to get out. Maybe make the funnel out of flashing that way the cant grip it whe they try to escape??

Never tried it but hey it might work

Looks good. I would add a few t-posts and I woulod beef up that feder or your gonna be SORRY!! Also the gate overlaping on the inside is a GREAT thing. It makes it sorta springy and will still allowed pigs in but not out! I would set a stick up to hold the gate open instead of wire!The pigs may not root their way in unless there is a pig in it allready so set a stick up to hold the gate open and after a pig big enough to knock the stick out enters you got him and probably a few others that were in there allready then the outsides pigs will push the gate open to get into it. I didnt have very good luck with the gate closed and the pigs just rootin their way in unless there was a pig in it allready. Just an idea

Is that your last T-post close to the pig? So it has about 5' to where the panel hits the other?

Would seem like you would want them to be able to squeeze in as easy as possible.

How did those babies get in there? Think they squeezed through cause mama was in there?

They make me hungry LOL

It works great! You can also bend 2 panels together at the front. I like them because you can make them as big as you want and use it for a holding pen. Only bad thing is you gotta feed and water them. Good luck!

I've been told to move them from the trap then kill em.

killed up to 6 at a time in our little monarch trap and catch more the next day.... all the time.... blood on the ground and everything...

[philafal]

On my pin I have the post about 3 feet apartand on those panels like you have we have had pigs jump when we walk up.when we load the hogs in a trailer we get 4 people outside the pin with clubs to keep them in while we load them.

[alien77721]

Sweet. Pig clubbing!!! Can it get any more manly?!
