Should be easy to ride the fences and find their entry point

We're high fenced west of Junction and quit trying to keep the pork out. Even with all the rocks they dig and push the fence up enough to get under. We block the gap and they move down 20 feet and push through another spot. Now we just wait till they pattern at a feeder then we ambush them. It slows them down for a while. Typically they are worse during the summer since we're feeding protein, cottonseed and the neighbors only feed during the regular season so we get pretty infested with multiple packs during the summer. Good luck on getting that big boar. For whatever reason our pigs are trap shy even though we don't use the traps but maybe once a year. I'll be following to see if that big one takes the bait

I really never had a great amount of success until I built my drop gate trap without a floor. It seemed by camera that my hogs would eat the trail corn to the trap, take one step into the trap and when they felt the panel they would then back out.
I recommend you put a trail camera facing the trap on its video setting and see if this might happen to you.
Best of luck and enjoy following along.

We set up our cell trail camera at the hog feeder and left the door open for the past 4 days but no hog activity. Been seeing lots of deer but no hogs. My dad is allowing corn to sit in water for a day and will then add it in the trap to see if that deters the deer or attracts the hogs. It's very strange as we haven't seen any hogs at our corn feeders or protein feeders.
