I've had a few people talk about this hold a hog snare and that it works well. I've only used a live trap previously without much luck and the trap is a chore to haul around. I would like to try this snare if its all that people are saying. Has anyone had any experience using this type of hog trap?

I'm just trying to do some homework on them. Any comments are welcome and helpful. They look to be around $100 a piece so I wanted to be fairly informed before a purchase.
They very well may suck. lol

I'm interested in this as well. We have a pork problem on our lease. I have access to a trap so maybe I'll just try that first

The Hog Commander seems to be a very similar trap to the hold a hog and they are local which is a plus. Thanks

If you want to catch hogs make sure you dont set that trap for quite a while get every hog in the area used to eating in it like it was there for them. If you set it as soon as you put it out, You will catch a few and never again even if you move it. They are smart.

never used that kind of trap


We have had very good luck with the traps they sell at Tractor Supply. They are easy to move around.

I'd love to trap hogs with snares and leg traps but wtf do you do when you walk up and there is a deer stuck in it.

Please school me on this.

I thought about this and it doesn't seem like that would be a fun task. Hold a Hog has a youtube about releasing deer. Better wear your big boy pants that day.

From Hog Commander website.


Hog Commander strongly recommends you use a deer repellent around your trap set area and mix thoroughly with your bait pile. Deer repellents are available at most all feed stores, co-ops, lawn and garden centers and hardware stores. Repellents come in both granular and liquid form. A $10 container should last you a season if applied as directed. If using granular repellent, spread 1/2 cup around your trap set area and mix 1 cup with your bait pile. If using liquid form, spray liberally around your trap set area and mix into your bait pile. Re-apply to area after a rain or as needed.

Most repellents are composed primarily of eggs or meat meal, blood meal and bone meal. It repels deer from the area but acts as a very strong attractant to omnivorous hogs. USE DEER REPELLENT!!!
