Hog trap idea... - 11/23/14 01:12 AM
I was looking at wireless triggers for hog traps where you could trigger it yourself when you see hogs in it.
Then I thought of an idea. Maybe it's been talked about before. I searched and couldn't find anything.
Here's the idea. Wire up a metal plate about 2'x2' on a hinge to the wire holding the gate up. When the hogs are all in, then shoot the metal plate and it lets the gate fall and most hogs are caught unlike usual for us. This would be good on a big pen trap. Could shoot it from far away.
This would only work when hogs are going in the trap and you would have to be there to set it off. Wouldn't work usually if you trap at night but it might work for someone.
Might work...idk.
