Hiking the A.T. with my brother in 1976.....Suches Ga. was the first town we stopped in at. We saw fencing for wild hogs in places and also many areas that pretty much had been rototillled from the wild hogs rooting the ground.....great memories of Georgia. Thx for posting and cheers
the drop gate needs to be made out of angle iron too ply wood door won't last and not enough angle iron on the trap hogs will bend the hell out of the cattle panels it might be heavier but worth it
I got the music off one of the free websites (royalty free); I don’t remember which one or what the name of the music is but I’ll take a look at my computer later this evening and see if it is still on there and will let you know if I figure it out. Regardless, thanks for watching.
@@johncarville9809 "….sorry, no luck finding it. I thought it might still be on my computer but I guess it’s been to long. It might have came from the bensound website. I’ve used some of their stuff before. Sorry I can’t be any help with this.
I have used 3/16" or 1/4" plate for my doors only because I have heard that a hog is capable of breaking through a wood door unless you reinforce the back side of it. Otherwise, good luck and nice trap, a little big length wise but should do the job.
Thanks. When we started making this, we were actually going to make it 5 feet tall. Once we started putting it together, it was obvious that it was to tall. That’s about the same with the length. It’s about to big (and heavy) to reasonably move around to different locations. I’m happy with it, but would have likely liked it just as much or more if it was a bit shorter.
Lots of ways to make it work. I watched a lot of RUclips videos before making my trap and saw a lot of good ideas. In the end, I went with what I thought was the fastest and easiest way to get it to work. Hope to build another trap sometime and make some improvements.
I don't know if you killed them in the trap but if you did then you need to move it to a different location. The other hogs can smell the blood and tend to stay away. That's what I experienced
That’s a very good point. We did kill them in the trap and it took a bit of time before we caught the next ones, which is likely a result of the blood.
Why don't you weatherproof the wood so you don't have to bring it inside or change its location and the temperature 🌞 or precipitation ⛈️won't affect it. Very ingenious. Good work!
Thanks Donna for the kind comments and the good suggestion about weatherproofing the wood. I think this is a great suggestion and I’ll give it a try. The wood has already lasted much better than I expected. I suspect having it standing up, in the set position, helps it dry quickly after a rain. Although it has been outside for a couple of years now, the door still looks practically new. Regardless, I will give the weatherproofing a try since it can only help it last even longer.
Great trap very well built. I always make my doors light 1/2 or less . I’m using aluminum on one. The hogs have never hit the door they only hit what they can see through. Go to my channel I show it . God bless

If you put the trigger further to the back it may allow for larger catches.
The neighbor joke 😂😂😂
Good video! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Texas!

You might be right but so far it has held up very well.
I have had good luck cutting a cattle panel to size for the door. Using it as a slid door just like you are with the plywood door.
Great idea for the trigger. Thanks for posting!
Thanks.
Nice design!
Thats how our hogs work too the small ones show up first and if its safe the big ones come in
Hello neighbor with a gun
I’ll be checking more out later Great job
Thanks.
Who does the background music? I like the trap and the concept but love the music. Please let me know.
I got the music off one of the free websites (royalty free); I don’t remember which one or what the name of the music is but I’ll take a look at my computer later this evening and see if it is still on there and will let you know if I figure it out. Regardless, thanks for watching.
@@northgeorgiaoutdoors1059 Any luck finding who the music is by?? Please.

I wish you would of shown how you set your cable trigger for the door
Did you watch the entire video? I show it in pretty good detail. If you have any questions, just ask. This trap is working very well.

good video the trap well made
steve evans ...thanks
I like it I was looking at another and the guy put a pulley so the door would go up easier with a cable if the plywood starts to bow

i think i would put my trigger a little farther towards the back otherwise great trap!
Excellent trap!!!

@@northgeorgiaoutdoors1059 thanks for appreciating the comment and to say it has been up for over a year it looks great!! You did a really good job.
Good trap door👍
Thanks. It has worked many times now with no problems.
Good trap . Can we get an update video
Yes, I’ll work on an updated video soon; should have already done this. This trap has been working great.

That's an easy way to make a door to work
Thanks. We saw this on RUclips and thought it was a very easy way and it works.
Make trigger higher so small one not setting it off. Only real boars do.
simplest trap door release i even seen. //worked great for me, thanks for the video
I will give this a try Herald, although I'll say that I like catching any of them, big or small.
Glad this is working for you Ted. I saw this type of setup on another video and thought it looked simple enough and it works.
😂
