I have a friend whose son hunts them with a freakin drone. That is getting a bit out of hand imo.

I thought the same thing.

I think an out of control hog population can cause a whole lot more damage (monetarily) to your place than whatever that trap costs.

Additionally, it will be functioning for years and years, with possibly thousands of hogs removed. Seems like a sound investment if you want to really control your problem.

I've heard hogs are smart, how long till this method doesn't work anymore? Or am I just doopid?

They may get wary of it for a while but they will always come back and try it. They cant walk by that food too many times without going in and grabbing a bite.

They certainly can cause lots of damage but there are much cheaper and essentially similarly effective traps. I really think that the idea of 8' tall walls with partial ceilings is overkill and frankly increases the chance of trapping deer. The remote cam and trigger accessible by internet is great for persons running several traps on either a really large property or several different properties. It does cut down on the amount of times you need to disturb the area and the trap too, especially with a large volume feeder set up to spread bait. The ability to bait for several weeks prior to triggering the door also means you can put the traps out in the open more versus placing them where the pigs normally roam. In other words these traps would be better at bringing the pigs to you vs you going to the pigs. Which of course, makes the loading of live pigs in a trailer easier when it does catch. It is also nice that due to the weight you don't necessarily have to T post the traps but I would put a few T posts down to keep them from ganging up and pushing the trap to a low spot and getting out. The lack of T posts makes the traps theoretically more mobile but the size, weight, feeder, etc. make them less mobile. For trappers wanting to make money selling live hogs, over the long run, these traps will pay for themselves. For the average property owner with hog problems a smaller cheaper version of this trap that is placed where the pigs are causing problems is much more effective.
Just my 2 cents

yes and no
Older pigs will get trap shy and will not enter them. Some, especially sows, will actually stand at the doorway and prevent younger less educated pigs from coming in. The trick is to trap as many in the sounder as possible at one time. If there are lots of tracks around but not in the trap it is time to sit out with a light and a gun to take out the educated hog and then move the trap, clean scent from the trap, and or change the bait.
Personally I have had traps that were getting visited but not entered and we moved them as little as 100 yards, used gloves at the new install, sprayed the doorway down with attractant or diesel to cover odors, and changed from bait to a sweet soda combo that I rarely have to use and the traps caught the next night.
Making a doorway look like a natural passage in the underbrush really does make a difference when the get trap educated also.
I have heard that another option is placing snares on the outside of the trap at the T posts for hogs that are trap shy but I have not tried it.

I can agree with that. I just know we have traps that have been in the same spot for years and are still catching pigs.

snares
Currently our most effective way of catching/killing hogs and javalinas, but more so javalinas.

Oh, they will certainly catch new pigs in the same spot and with the possibility of one sow producing 36 offspring per year there are plenty to go around.

where you snaring at and how you keeping deer out of snares?
Posted on 6/6/13 at 11:02 am to Bleeding purple
We just snare along our fence lines, any hole we see under our game fence we put a snare, if the hole is big enough for a deer to get through we just fill it with the tractor. We put out at least 2 dozen every time we are down there, and they are usually filled with something (javalina, hog, coyote, bobcat, raccoon, badger) by the time we get back. Not a hog, but this is still a great site.

if the hole is big enough for a hog to get through,
wish we had field fence instead of 4 strand barbed wire.
