hog trap

[huntall]

After getting a picture of hogs on my place I decided to build a hog pen trap.
I have not seen but 1 and only couple pictures of hogs but I scouted the low creek area and found a lot of hog tracks.
I just bought this place around Thanksgiving time and had no idea hogs was in the area. We decided to build a pen trap with drop door

Hope this works out.
I'd like to see a pen full when you do pull the door.

We didn't bait when we built it cause of all the scent and noise from building it. Probably bait today or tomorrow
