        Started last weekend with some help from my oldest

        Left it incomplete so they could easily get in and out

        [ATTACH]1004199[/ATTACH]



        Re-enforced it today, added more T-posts and the guide wing

        [ATTACH]1004200[/ATTACH]

        Tied the throat open so they could get in and out since I don't plan on checking it until next weekend (will untie the throat next Friday evening)

        21 T-posts, 6 full cattle panels and 2 half panels for the guide wing. Had that all laying around here

        Hopefully next weekend I will be adding to the swine body count thread
        Do you have holes in those blocks under the legs or are the legs just sitting on top?

            Legs setting on top

            E. TX. BOWHUNTER the first time was with 9mm hollow points at about 4' head on

            Got home and went to set trap and check the other one

            THIS is the one I shot 2 weeks ago

            Very aggressive and had definite wound

            Guess someone else shot that other one

                They do not like the the push in gate on the corral trap

                Going to have to build a gate like Kyle/ Low Fence has I guess

                  Good deal! I've been wanting to make one to take care of some of our hog population.

                    Had door wired open and one dumb one still managed to get caught

                    Think he ran into wing and knocked it loose and trapped himself

                      May have figured out a way to make it work better

                      Propped gate open with about 12" stick between outside panel and door flap about 15" high
                      Think it let a few in that knocked it down and then rest pushed their way in to get some treats

                      Also changed feeder to spin at dark rather than early enough for birds to get most of it

                      Hope to catch some more

                      Old guy was plenty happy to take them off my hands
                      Gave him 6 a few weeks ago

                          Grant all I know is his last name is Cooper (or could be his first name )

                                Glad you found someone that would take them. Up here in my neck of the woods it’s hard to find anyone that wants them any longer (unless they are skinned and quartered up ).
