18+ hogs trapped tonight

I just closed the trap door on at least 18 hogs. I’ll drive up there tomorrow to dispatch them.

Good Job

Great!

Outstanding! Keep after 'em!

Awesome!

That looks like a load of fun

Load them up live and sell them, thats over $500 worth of hogs to a buying station right now.

Excellent job! Did you make the trigger mechanism yourself or buy a pre-done kit? If kit, which one? 'Appreciate the help. I'm overrun.

Were there any left waiting for you?

That's quite a haul.

wow thats great I was wondering if you were still trapping.

Very nice!

Made the cell phone trigger myself. Total cos about $300.

Donated all the meat to friends and locals

PigMoney…..

Is any special license needed to sell them?

Yes you need a license and a trailer and can only sell to a licensed buyer. Not worth investing in either

No, you do not need a license to trap (with landowner permission, although I always have my hunting license) nor do you need any kind of license to sell them to an approved buying station. It is illegal to transport them anywhere other than directly to an approve buying station with the exception being you can sell boars and only boars to high fenced hunting operations. I've never done the later so not sure about the exact requirements on that.

To me, it is a hobby that pays for itself in time.

anyone know roundabout what the buying stations are paying right now?

80-100 $0.15 lb+ $10 Head Bonus
101-170 $0.20 lb + $15 Head Bonus
171 and up $0.25 lb + $20 Head Bonus

Here’s a video after the trap door closed

Big pig in the middle: "Darn! Trapped! Oh, well... might as well keep sucking up as much corn as possible..."

Really cool! What trapping system are you running.

That's amazing!

Nice

How would you go about transferring the hogs from the trap to a trailer?

JR

I made it myself.

That pig in the foreground looks like he's been in a trap before ( immediately started hunting for an exit).

Very carefully, I suppose
