I put my corral trap up a couple months ago and just installed my "poor boy" trigger today. The pics tell the story if you can see them well enough. The guillotine door is 8' wide and 5' tall and has a nail barely stuck underneath it. A washer is welded onto the nail head and a cable attatched to it. The cable runs through a pulley which is attatched to a T post and then runs to a small tire. The tire is staked with a sucker rod so that it can only go forward. I dug a hole inside the tire and filled it with sweet feed and corn. The idea is that pigs will root the tire forward trying to get at the bait, the nail pulls out and they are trapped.
Has anyone tried this ? See any flaws ? Criticism welcome !
