tips on trapping pigs  Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here and I'm
looking for any helpful tips you can give to better my odds at
catching bigger hogs. So far I have one trap thats working for
me but I only catch hogs around 75lbs. or smaller. I think the
design of it has a lot to do with it. First off, it's
small.....4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 5 feet deep. Second is,
it has a bottom in it which is wire fence, and last is I used a
piece of flat metal to make the pad to trip the trigger for the
guillitein door. I have started to build a new one already that
is 7 feet deep, 5 feet wide, and 4 feet tall. I am leaving out
the bottom and I plan to make the entire front open so it will
hopefully look more open and inviting to them. Does this new
design sound better or should I change something?, and are there
any other tactics I should try? I use soured corn in the trap
and I also have a hole dug nearby that I keep soured corn in
constantly. What else am I
