A few things I’ve learned in my very limited experience of pig trapping.
You cannot use too many TPosts.
Weak little welded wire fence does nothing against a bowling ball size pig going berserk.
Cattle panels can be broken when unsupported letting 13 pigs escape.
Use heavy wire when connecting panels to TPosts.
Double the wire ties you think you need.
Pigs can launch themselves 4’ high at a dead run.
Use double the TPosts you think you need.
Remove the safety rope when setting the Guillotine trap.
A 4’x4’x.25” steel plate sliding between angle iron works well as a guillotine door.
An engineered trip mechanism works better than stick and string.
Don’t soak corn with diesel in a bucket previously used to slow water trees. It will ruin your day when left in the truck bed.
Diesel soaked corn has worked very well.
.22 to the ear hole works well for dispatch.
Use more TPosts and more wire ties.
