Thread: Pig traps

12 or 14ft gates work great, 2 for the sides, one for the roof, gotta have a roof! And tie the bloody thing down with well driven Waratahs. Make a gate for one end, or both ends, as Micky described. A barred gate, with the bars vertical, not horizontal, and simply let it swing down to the ground. Leave both ends open for a week or 2 so Mr Pig is comfortable walking through, then drop one end, and a week later drop both ends. Boiled barley works great as a bait, smell goes a long ways and they love it. Spuds work too, and old bread. Dont touch it or scent the place up when you walk in to bait it, and check it out from a distance if you can.
And then we want to see the pic's once you have 'im.
