I've never hunted or trapped hogs so I would appreciate some advice.

Bottom land at the farm full of hogs though the hogs are more plentiful in adjacent bottom land because it has more brush and cover. Our bottom land is mostly hackberry and bois d'arc, and not a lot of ground cover at all.

We ride horses all through the bottom and I see a lot of hogs. I want to lure them into a trap. What is the best trap for getting a group of hogs? What is the best bait?

I thought about calling some hunters with dogs but the neighbors don't want hog hunting on their property.

Any advice would be appreciated.

We have a backhoe that we use to dig a hole 8x8 and about 4 feet deep with very straight sides we leave a column of dirt in the center that we put corn on. Hogs will go into the hole to try to get the corn and they cant get out. We shoot them and lift them out with backhoe or the loader on the tractor. Reapply corn and come back in a few days.

If deer go into the hole they can jump out but the hogs cannot.

We killed over 200 this summer that way, some of them were piglets who went into hole to be with mom.

Works great!
