     caught more  GOOD BOAR HOGS that way than we ever did with bait . the trap we used had two one way doors going into a big holding pen . we could set the outside door with a trip wire then when caught they pushed into the holding pen through the second door . we kept a 55 gal drum gravity feed feeder in the holding pen . the pen it's self was built into a stock pond on one end so we all ways had plenty of feed and water .  at times we would catch a ton of hogs without ever setting the trap , the boar hogs would push the gates and go in to get some   lol . it is the best method bar none for catching big boars , but the sow will get bred and need to be replaced . our old sow we used for along time was born in the holding pen and lived there till she died of old age .she had a lot of her own babies in that pen as well . our holding pen was about a 1/4 acre in size built under several large oak trees . it was such a busy trap we finally built loading ramps and shoots to separate large from small and make emptying the trap a one man project . we only went down on the weekends or when the ranch owner called and told us he didn't think it would hold any more hogs  lol  .
