Hog Trap SetUp

- I show how I move this trap around and prep it for catching pigs. i like to cover the traps in palmettos and set them in a palmetto thicket to hide. the palmettos last a long time even after they start turning yellow. For video purposes i kept the palmettos thin. you will see how i black out the sides and back in the next pig video. i do NOT show any caught pigs in this video, next video will be of the catching and dispatching of pigs in the trap.

Texas hunter here! Waiting for the next video when you catch them man! Catch and cook!
Florida hunter here , glad to see someone else using the palmettos like I do .
Couple tips that might help you out when setting in a spot like that
I pack a little kid size rake with me , clean out the area your going to set the trap on , then brush all the leaves back over the wire bottom. This puts out the smell of fresh turned earth which they like a lot.
I use a 1 gal plastic icecream bucket for bait. I fill it about half full of cracked corn, 1 tbs yeast, one box of orange jello, and one of those plastic jars of ready made orange koolaid mix. Fill it with water and let it sit for a couple days. You fermit the feed and create a very fruity sweet stinking bait they will fight over.
Do the coons mess with your bait. No matter how stinky I make it, the coon are all over it. Sometimes they set the trap off.
@@outdoordiy4884 Oh yea I used to. Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores which means there really isn't much they will turn down , as long as its free and easy they will eat it .
I try to bait an area for coons with leg hold traps or even cage traps . to clear out the problem causers before hand or even during .
Sardines and cheap dry catfood for bait.
The best way to avoid unwanted animals, though, is to change your trigger to a root bar or a trip wire.. This way you can adjust the height and sensitivity better.
I prefer a root bar and a Guillotine drop door. Once i switched to that set up , i almost never catch anything other than hogs, and can usually catch a few at a time with a trap you size .
piglets too small to eat, coons , possums , and any other unwanted meats or scraps all go into the meat grinder, and are either used for a maggot farm for the chickens or cooked up for the dog food .
Great trap !!
Fellow south Louisiana hunter, Great info, hope you keep putting videos out.
Now that the hunting season is wrapping up. It’s time to start catching pigs and processing the deer my family harvested. So those will be a few videos and cooking real people style. Not the cooking shows way. Appreciate you Sam. What part of the state you hunt.
