Greensburg, LA
Hot, muggy miserable weather
Hog traps baited with corn and velveeta cheese
Ruger 10/22 with CCI mini mags

At camp until Sunday afternoon trying to put a small dent in the feral pig epidemic. Baited up 2 figure nine traps and a drop gate trap last night. Working on a pot of coffee and a breakfast jambalaya right now then hoping to go earhole some captured pigs around 7am. Wish us luck!

Do you save any of the meat or just toss them?

We always toss them this time of year. To hot and bacteria grows fast. Us.

velveeta cheese


That’s a new one for me. We usually put corn in buckets with water and let lit a week or 2 until it stinks so bad you can’t stand it. They can smell it a mile away.

Good luck!

Some guy a fellow club member knows in Clinton said he’ll take anything we don’t want except old boars. We ain’t caught shite anyway, probably should have baited them last weekend so they’d get used to it. One trap had all corn eaten outside trap, so at least they know about it. We just left the bait inside, hoping a youngster will venture into it today/ tonight. White cans and pastalaya under the pine trees this afternoon anyhow.

A couple years back I posted on here what someone told me the method they used for coyotes and hogs on their lease.

Had something to do with couch cushion foam cut into softball / baseball size chunks then soaked in used cooking oil and then just tossed around their feeders and lanes, etc.

Better stop there or I will be called names.

If anyone is serious about controlling hogs, invest in a cellular electronic corral trap with rigid panels which can be set up by 1 person in 30-45 min. The most important step in catching whole sounders is to bait them before you build the trap. Put a camera on bait and scout size and composition of sounder. When they’ve come in at least 4 days in a row, then build the trap around the bait and don’t drop gate until all the pigs are in. If gate is dropped on a partial sounder, the pigs outside become educated and trap shy.

I’m dealer in LA/MS for Jager Pro since I retired from
career in 2017 and have been catching pigs for a long damn time. Over 1300 on my place since I bought my first Jager Pro trap in 2012 and they’re still filing in as fast as I catch them. Hate them sobs with a passion.
