Repeating Gates Trap Multiple Wild Hogs

Repeating Gates Trap Multiple Wild Hogs FENCING Gates Why trap one wild hog at a time when you can get them in groups? Repeating gates from Forestry Suppliers can be used on either pens or portable cages Just bait and wait “The Hog Slammer is the first hog control product we offered and it’s still the most popular ” says Clay Walker Forestry Suppliers “The Steel Cage Hog Trap has just been introduced My father built one similar to it and he caught 6 hogs in it at one time ” The Hog Slammer $299 is designed to slide over a T-post with a pen built around it using livestock panels A trigger rod holds the bat-wing gates open until a hog enters and knocks over a bucket of bait Once the doors slam shut the hog can’t exit Springs on the outer side hold the square steel tube grill shut However other hogs can push through them to enter and be trapped as well Forestry Supplies has introduced a variation to the Hog Slammer with angled gates The Rooter-style hog gate sets into the pen Like the Hog Slammer additional hogs can enter after the gates have been tripped “Customers like the Hog Slammer because they can make the pen as large as they like ” says Walker “Shipping costs are also less than for the Cage ” The main advantage to the Steel Cage Hog Trap $400 is its portability It can be loaded transported and set up by a single person Constructed of 1 1/2-in angle iron and galvanized panels the trap is available with either a closed or open top Dimensions are 4 ft wide 3 ft high and 8 ft long It features a single spring-loaded gate with a back-of-trap trigger system Like the Hog Slammer the Steel Cage also allows more hogs to enter after the door has been tripped A solid panel across the bottom two thirds serves as a push plate for hogs trying to enter “Captured hogs act as live decoys and attract even more hogs to the pen ” says Walker “Getting the first hog in is the key We suggest baiting the pen or the cage with the gates fixed open for a week or so to get the hogs accustomed to entering before setting the tripping mechanism ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Forestry Suppliers Inc 205 W Rankin St P O Box 8397 Jackson Miss 39284 ph 601 354-3565; toll free 800 647-5368; www forestry-suppliers com
