pig trap question - 12/03/14 02:42 PM
So I'm fairly new here, but have been lurking for years. Just got into trapping pigs helping my neighbor because apparently we are overrun with them. He cuts tons of hay and has close to 1200 acres total all around my house that I have access to. Anyway, these pigs are really doing a number on his fields, I mean bad. I set up a box trap and 2 different types of circle traps and have trapped a total of 7 in 10 days. My question is, why will they go in a box trap when it's up against tall grass at the pasture fence and not when it's in the middle of a cut field? I've moved it back and forth, baited exactly the same way, and they'll root up right next to the trap but won't go in it. Why would they care where it's located?
