Made this trap over the last couple of days. I used 10 old 6 foot hog pen gates. Had to extend the height and weld on 4x4 cattle panels. Also built a 4’ wide gate. Pretty easy to haul and pen together. Gonna bait a few days then set it.

New hog trap
I didn’t take pictures of trigger. I use a 1/4” rod attached to the panel behind the gate. It has a “L” bent in it that I hook to the gate. I then run bailer twine or heavy nylon fishing line from there to the side and across to another panel. I use the same system on all my traps. I set it high enough that small pigs and coons will not trip it.

Nice job! I hope you kill a bunch of those beasts!
