Texas Sized Hog Trap

[mastercraftka]

I like the idea of big you can catch more at one time but I have seen them climb out and push up the fence so not sure how that has been addressed. My first concern is the gate they will lift that sucker up with their nose.

I am not saying you wont catch any but I think you will lose a few as well.

I agree with the others, and don't think its built well enough. If you get a big boar/sow in there, they will tear it up and probably get out, just my opinion.

A decent sized hog will run straight through that fence.

We'll see. If it works, great. If not, I'll make it better.

The hog fencing is high tensile and unlikely to give easily. My bull pushed on high tensile fence to my neighbors place. He pulled 5 tposts out and the fence never broke. He never made it through.

Good luck

You could also sell guaranteed hunts once you have a few in there

I like the theory and I'm sure it will need some tweaking to keep them in. Good luck.

In for pics of it in action.

I've been wanting to do the same around our oats patch, but I plan on doing a second push through gate at a corner (or near the entering gate) that allows them to get out of the oats patch into a second trap made of bull panels.

That's a creative Idea.

How big is the pen the gate is attached to?

Cool idea, hope it works, but like others I am a little skeptical. Not sure if if will be sturdy enough all the way around. Looking forward to seeing how it works. Good luck !!

My first thought was that they might be able to lift the gate. If they do, you could probably rig up some kind of spring closure that prevents it from being lifted.
