It works for coons who like to reach in. OR, put a big bowl of soured corn outside the trap so they get drunk and forget its a trap. LOL

There is one old man down here who ended up using a scoop shovel w/o a handle for a pan- I am thinking about trying that and I could tension it that way so the gate would never release until 2 or 3 were fighting over the feed. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

I guess it eventually gets to nasty for the deer. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

LOL I got our Hogs drunk once on Schlitz malt liquor 8 tall big cans in a 5 gal pail of crab apples crushed. Those two hogs ate it until it was gone.... Next day in the morning red eyes no joking red eyes and they just looked at the fresh feed i brought and snorted.. Thet didnt eat for 3 days NRA and NTA Life Member www.BackroadsRevised@etsy.com

We’d have the pigs and no sows or half the pigs and one sow. They ate good for almost 6 solid weeks on peanuts and corn, lol. Just recently had a small group of pigs and caught al of those in just a couple of weeks. Small traps likes what pictures won’t work down here. Our pigs are way to educated.
