Trapping wild hogs can be challenging !!! This is the second time to have a big nasty Boar crawl out of the trap. #hogtrapping #wildhogs #texas #wildpig
Jeff maybe you should call this the Sunday Morning Hogdini empty trap report. LOL I know you are heart broke but it is still a great video. Thanks for bringing us along.
I have seen pipe rollers on the top of domestic fences to stop cats and dogs from climbing over the top. Perhaps cut the top rail and slide on some round pipe and weld the rail back. They have no grip on the rotating pipe.
Jeff I am in oklahoma(marshall cty) just north of ya. Im on pig #554 since Feb and have not had 1 jump out. 6 foot tall panels to the top! Panel covers entire gate that is exposed to the top. 6 foot everything. I do use the 2x4 horse panels. Nothing to get a grip on and they just cant get out. Good Luck!!!!
The pig brig looked short too. Did it have the internal cap installed? That design of an internal cap around the inner top edge that flexes (it has little resistance so they drop back in) would work for the rigid pen. Would need a bit of constructive thought how to do the gate well, it's the weak spot & piglet knows where it go it is where to try to get out. Worth the thought of being prepared when approaching a marginal trap. While 95% + of pigs would be putting as much distance between you as fast as possible the exception is worth thinking about when it's a big athletic boar that knows how to escape, and was a thinker that didn't crash blindly about hitting the walls.@@MuddyfeetTV
That hurt having that hog jump out. I believe you've nailed it on your update plan. That's what i was thinking then you said it. Great video and glad yall had a great Thanksgiving
Now your cooking with gas Jeff I think you should put them stops on top all the way around your trap to stop them from climbing or jumping out HE will be back to your trap because he knows he got out before and he will climb out again and again till you put your stoppers on top and fool him REMEMBER THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HIGHER THEY CAN JUMP AND THEY WILL !!
A wire around the top with a fence charger causing a tickle with anything touching the fence and the wire should deter climbers. The charger would be easy to disable for emptying. Charger, wire, insulators, and batteries should be less than a couple or three thousands.
I have seen big boars get their snout under the bottom edge of the trap and lift the whole side and escape under the trap. I have witnessed this with my own eyes, twice. Walk up to the trap to start shooting and gone in 2 seconds. If the ground is not level, I don't put my trap in that area. There can be not even the tinyest of holes in the ground at the edge of the trap.
At the risk of coming across as odd or cruel, it seems to me there would be a way to market wild hogs EYEBALLS (no harm to them after slaughter). I was shopping at Galveston Island as a boy and I bought a glass jar, kind of tall and skinny jar, with a small octopus suspended I believe, in formaldehyde. Hogs eyeballs could be sold as curiosities that way; or possible more appropriately, in jars that originally held olives! Might be a hit in optometry clinics! Wild hogs trapped/shot should be monetized in every way.
Soon they claim trees. Ive seen other fence with the highest bar inwards. Here in Sweden they are protected to ruin for The farmers. . So The Boars are HUGE. Much Bigger than yours. Keep up The good work
Jeff from what I have been reading the ducks may be victims of the Bird Flu. There is even report of 1 hog and a human getting it. I have not seen a sparrow since mid-summer and my Cardinals have all disappeared. The only birds are a few BluJay's and a hand full of Doves.
@@MuddyfeetTV might be a lot less fabricating just use self tappers to mount insulators plus it's solar no batteries you put lots of batteries in them cams you may want to switch to solar on them also. Just an opinion 👊👊👊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Jeff, you should send a copy of this video to the manufacturer of the pig trap. If a hog can physically jump out, than their trap design is deficient.
Will figure something out
😂 🙂

It’s an adventure for sure. Got to take the lumps of coal with the lumps of gold
Late but I'm here 👍😁
Great turkey 🦃 day just woke up.🤣😂🤣
We got a jumper . X K P .... Andrew "Andy" Dufresne .. Shawshank Redemption
Thanks 👍
Hey! Happy Thanksgiving. Shawshank Redemption is a great movie

Is there a children's book "When Pigs Fly"....?😅😅
Lol 😂
In the meantime can you get some razor wire and wrap around that top rail?
I’m scratching out a game plan
I’m so sorry you didn’t get the hog. He’s out there just waiting for you to find him! You still did a good job!
Will keep at them.
Could you setup something that when the gate closes it completes a circuit with electric fence/wire?
I’m not sure
Dog gone hog gone! Hogs are smart but not when they are hungry which is all the time. He'll be back!
Will be ready

I need to raise mine then. Thank you

Just need to find time to do it

Will keep baiting it and see. Be a little bit before we have chance to build those

I think he ran out of food

It rained buckets here on Thanksgiving and on Friday. Sorry you didn't do so well on the trapping this week.
Will take the bad with the good

Sad to hear about that hog jumping out
Unfortunately it happens
"He locked the hubs in" < you said 😂
That was a hundred dollar bill that hopped over the fence.
I guarantee it was.
That for sure was the biggest you had!! Big boy 😳 Gate drops electric cage comes on!! ⚡️⚡️👍🇺🇸
He was definitely a higher level of species
he's off makin' bacon by now
Surely he pulled a hami in the process
Maybe a couple rounds of electric fence around the top? Solar charger
I’m scratching out a plan
Hate that you missed him
Or some type of roller on the top so they can’t get a foothold over the top.
I thought about replacing the panel on the bottom of the gate with bars

I hope to get in a hunt or 2 before the season is over
Do u not watch other trappers? Of course these pigs are jumping out there isn't anything to stop them from jumping over.
Oh yeah. David Ellis and Hollis farms are a couple of my favorite channels to watch
Solar electric fence around it maybe 🤔 👊💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I’m not sure.

Leave it up to a Texan to let a hog get away. Us Oklahoma men don’t let ‘‘em get away. Boomer Sooner
Men??? Y’all can’t even drink real beer. Y’all have to drink 3.2
Oh I found this for you Oklahoma boys. facebook.com/reel/1278842376010058?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V
