re: How did my little makeshift trap hold this guy?

It was a trap I threw together to catch a small sow under 100lbs so it's only 6' tall by 4' wide. I did put a top on it cause hogs will climb out in a heartbeat. I just drove 4 T-posts in the ground and wrapped it with 6' dog wire. For the gate I used 3/4" plywood. I drove in 2 more tposts about 3" away from the trap opening and slid the gate into the opening. I threw a rope over a limb and hoisted the gate open, ran the rope down thru top of trap to the trigger. I dug a hole under the trigger and filled with corn so when they root the corn out they spring the trigger and gate falls shut.

Now, that sounds like a simple, but effective, trap. I have a bunch of left over t-post from my figure 6 trap. I'm gonna have to give it a try.
