Hog Traps

Hog Traps and Hog Trap Fronts are not just designed for the avid Outdoorsman or Hunter but also designed to aid Farmers and Ranchers as well as County, City and Federal Governments in controlling an ever expanding destructive Feral Hog population.  Hog Traps are now the #1 control method for humanely trapping and removing/ relocating nuisance Feral Hogs.

Hog Traps: We take designing and building High Quality Hog Traps very seriously. All of our Hog Traps are built and tested for Function as well as Strength and Durability.  No other manufacturer offers as many Models and Options of Hog Traps and Hog Trap Fronts as we do.  We currently offer three styles of door systems for our Hog Traps.  Hog Traps can be purchased with either Push-Thru Style Doors, Trigger/ Trip Wire Activated Drop Doors or Guillotine Style Door Systems. All  Hog Traps are painted with a high quality rust prohibiting Olive Drab Green or Flat Black paint which aids in preventing Hog Traps from prematurely rusting.   The Hog Trap shown above is a Guillotine Door style Pro-Trapper Series Model. 

What style Hog Trap and options are right for you?

Cage Style Hog Traps:  Hog Traps have come along way since the early days of building Hog Traps from treated wood or hand tying wire panels together.  Built from steel wire panels and sturdy welded frames, today's Hog Traps incorporate more options such as positive locking Door Systems which prevent trapped Hogs from rooting the door open to flags which raise when the Hog Traps door has been tripped alerting the trapper to approach the trap with extreme care as Hogs may be trapped inside and more Hogs may be in the area outside the trap.  Hog Traps are available in many sizes and careful thought consideration must be done before purchasing just the right trap for your situation.  Hog Traps generally have two sides a back and trap door front (face) as well as a covered top to prevent trapped Hogs from escaping.  Wire floors are generally an option on most manufacturers Hog Traps but highly recommended for sandy or soft soils where Hogs may root under the trap allowing the animal to escape.  Trap shown below is an example of a Hog Trap with built in floor.  Cage style Hog Traps have limited catching ability due to the size of the trap. 

Hog Trap Fronts (permanent panel trap systems):  Hog Trap fronts are available with Push Through style doors as well as Guillotine and Trigger Drop Doors.  The one main advantage to a Hog Trap Front or Semi permanent trap is the size can be expanded due to the use of wire mesh panels by simply adding panels which will increase the traps size allowing greater numbers of hogs to enter.

Styles of Hog Trap Doors:  Below are examples of the most popular styles of  Doors we manufacture for our Hog Traps.  Each Trap Door system has advantages and some have disadvantages.

Hog Traps with Push-Thru Door Systems:  Push Through Door Systems prevent trapping of wildlife such as Deer and other animals that would normally enter a trap through it's open door.  Push Thru Doors remain closed and require Hogs to enter the trap by pushing or rooting through the door to enter the trap to gain access to whatever bait was placed in the trap.  Push Thru Trap Doors allow continuous trapping by allowing hogs to keep entering the trap.  Hogs cannot root the door open from inside of the trap but however sometimes can escape when a Hog enters the trap from the outside.

Hog Traps with Trigger/ Trip Wire Door System:  Hog Traps with built in trip/ trigger style trap doors have one major advantage over push through style doors.  When the trap has been set the door is in the open position which aids in gaining the target animals trust into entering the trap.  Once the animal has entered the door is triggered when the animal trips the release mechanism by pushing against a trip wire or by rooting under the trip wire.  Other Hogs can enter the trap by simply pushing through the door and entering the trap much the same as the push through style doors.
