We put out a hog trap this year and have not had any luck with it yet. It has a gulitine type door with a wire trigger at the other end. We bait & set the trap when we get there, and have had nothing even touch it. What am i doing wrong?

Sounds like you have some hogs around that are "trap smart". I built the trap on here like someone described and it worked beautifully! Used 4ft hog panels shaped in a number 9 design. Fed it hard while it was held open for about two weeks then set the panel for trapping then had the whole pack caught the next time I checked it in two days!!!!!
Worked like a charm....
Shhhhhhhh better to be quiet than remove all doubt..

What did you use for bait, ive trap hogs for years and always used corn soaked in diesel and it worked great until about 6 months ago. I couldnt catch a hog and know they were close, I put a bag of hog wild in one trap and some stock pellets that got wet in the other. The next morning had 10 in the hog wild trap and 3 in the other. And these traps had been baited for over 2 months with corn and diesel and hadnt caught any.

Heart-shaped or Wexford trap
This is the kind of trap I hve set up. I did ok with it last yer but so fr have had it set this year for a couple of weeks and havent caught anything. Have been thinking of trying another style of trp. I know pigs are in the area, they just arent messing with my trap.

Try corral type trap if possible, I have much more luck with them around trap wise hog. Make it as big as you can it makes them more comfortable.

I built this 30' trap with a 3x5 drop door I just set it up and I'll bait it for a week or so then go collect. I have a few ready to try it out for me.
