Thread: trapping pigs

Dumb question time.
How do you guys dispatch the porkers once they are in the trap? Bravely with a knife or close up shot? I was thinking that a shot from a distance may be the go so they dont stress out, but i guess there is a risk of ricochet doing that

I walk up in a calm manner and pop them point blank with a .22, i have seen a large boar in one thats a wee bit differant they go off, but stand still and they settle enough to pop them
