Its getting personal between me & the hog
It is starting to get personal now :mad: :mad:
So every day I am checking my trap. He is eating the leading corn up to the door and about a foot inside the trap
The trap has a mesh bottom, so I have been putting dirt, leaves, and limbs in the bottom so he cant feel the wire on his feet
Yesterday I cut about 50 small bushy limbs and lined the bottom of the trap even more, then cut a whole bunch of dog fennels and broom sage to make it nice and soft
Well last nite, the SOB ate all the corn around the trap, all the corn on the inside of the trap, except on the trigger :mad:
Worst thing is. the way the limbs are matted down it looks like he took a nap inside the trap
I can just picture this damn boar hog eating this corn, taking a nap on the nice soft bed I made for him, and him saying to me "hey thanks for the food and the bed, but screw you"......

Hey Bud the big boar hogs are a complete pain to try and trap!! If they have ever been caught before then you will have to really outwit him.Iluv2hunt wrote:It is starting to get personal now :mad: :mad:

If it is at all possible reposition the trap and leave it alone for about a week and in the meanwhile start saving any and all vegetables and fruit scraps you have. After you reposition the trap really cover it up good on all sides and the back with foilage making it look some what like a cave. Take your rotten veggies and fruits and place them in the back of that trap..... do not put any treats or tidbits outside or around the entrance just all concentrated in the back of the trap. This is how we always got our last hogs of the group.
Another thing to consider is making sure that while working around your trap is scent control IE rubber boots and the heavy duty rubber gloves as well. If one thing keeps a hog alive it is the uncanny sense of smell.Good luck with that boar and post pics when you get him.
