Hunting & Fishing Remote control hog trap

[50calibercruiser]

I have been feeding a dozen or so hogs for two months and never could time it right to catch them under the feeder so I decided a trap was in order. I build a figure 6 trap but being 45 miles from the property I decided it was best to leave it wired open and shut it on the weekends when I could stay to keep an eye on it. Then it clicked to remotely watch and shut it. This is the result from last night, first try.

I'm about 1/2 mile from the trap. Also a note of interest, the 40+ knot winds we had didn't seem to affect the hogs. The large boar in the middle was shot around 7:30 (while I was still watching the feeder in person) and the other two came in at 10.

Nice trap and great job catching the hogs. There is an outfit in Georgia called Jager Pro and they have the system down on eradication of hogs.

They sell night hunts as well as remote controlled traps.

Yeah, Jagerpro is cool but a little rich for my blood.

Re: Remote control hog trap

I would love to discuss this little operation with you. Would you mind shooting me a pm with a contact #

I am a wildlife biologist and deal with hogs a fair amount and I am curious about the amount of time and $$$ this set up runs...

Thanks!
