hogs

helomech · 02-02-2007, 11:35 AM

Just got done building my first hog trap. All I have left to do is put some primer on it and bring it out in the woods. It cost me 200 to build, and the cheapest one I could find built was about 450.

Can't you just buy them a drink like the rest of us desperate people do?

You don't need to buy them a drink, you just need to buy yourself a few drinks and then look their way.

I knew that, I was just not expecting what they said. Usually I am the one that thinks that way, but they caught me off gaurd.

Thanks, the door has a spring on it and you prop the door open with a peice of metal rod. Then you tie a string to the metal rod and a peice of rope across the cage. Tie the string from the prop to the rope across the cage and when the bump the rope the prop falls and the door slams shut. More pigs can enter the trap, but they can't get out.

Do you think my dad's ex wife will really fit in there?

You bet, hopefully I will catch a bunch. Lots of friends want me to catch one for them. It would be nice to be able to put one or two a year in the freezer.
