I made a release that looks like the letter F, and I hooked a cable to it and ran it along the side of the cage through some pulleys. Then I ran it under a peice of plywood and then to the other side of the cage. When the step on the plywood it pulls the release down and a spring pulls the door shut. More hogs can enter the trap after the door is closed, but they can't get back out. Here is a pic of the first hogs I ever caught in my trap. This pic was taken before I refined the trigger, in this pic I was just using a stick to prop the door open, and had some bailing wire tied to the stick like a trip wire.
