Hey i need some help with trapping.I put my traps out about 3 months ago and the first week i got 9 pigs. from then on the pigs will only eat the corn up to the door.? Im getting very frustrated because i cant figure out why ive tried to move the traps and mixing formula in with the corn. nothing is working. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!

did you kill the hogs in the trap at the same spot it is in now? If so, that's could be your issue. Also, I wouldn't put corn at the front then, I would pile it up at the rear near the trip wire.

I think you need me to come out one night with my gun/bow and see if I can't push them into your trap. I agree with what ChadTRG42 said and will add that you need to be real careful with your scent. Those pigs have your number. Can you move the traps? Also, try a different bait - something real sweet.
If you ain't hunting, you ain't living right.

sour up some corn . and when you put it at the back of the trap watch where you put your scent they smell is better than most animals ...... when you pour the corn out sprinkle it with ju ju ( cherry or strawberry jello )....brings big boys in ....use a lot dont be sparing.... the more the better. email me if yo want some more help ..

Bring the AR's so we can lay down some lead to convince them to go in.

They get trap smart after ther buddy's get caught, Leave it a while then put bait in and lock the door open a week or two then set it to trap again. Or move to a new location.
