My uncle has some hogs coming up around his grain bins and barns eating out of the cattle feeder so I rounded up some of our traps when we made the rounds checking cattle and set one up that is actually two traps in one.....hence double barrel trap. Its a combination of a box trap with a guillotine door, and a portable pannel trap with a swing gate. The box trap is 2.5 feet wide x 3 tall X 10ft long. On top of that I put a 3 foot hog pannel to make that side 6 ft total and finished out with 4 portable pannels that are 5.5 feet tall and 6 long and super heavy. I put them in the shape of a wedge ending at the swing gate to hopefully make loading somewhat easier. On the other end it all ties into the box trap so as to make one unit which ads strenght. Hogs can trip one and the other is still set and if any hogs are still outside the might go in the other one. I put the trap right next to the cattle feeder which I stopped feeding out of and have been feeding them in the two sections of the trap and they have been cleaning it out every night. The trap is set tonight and hopefully The hogs will be there in the morning. What do yall think about that set up. I would post a picture but I lost my digital camera. Waylon

Yeah it is hit or miss on that old river right there.....If I see a fresh track on the road I might find them if I hunt hunt the next morning or the hogs will be gone unless they are hanging in the corn. We have had quite a few dry runs lately but we manage to get a cripple every now and then and keep them out of the corn.
That last litter of harley was the time we tried to breed her to Rattler and they would'nt tie up, but she ended up being bred to his big male dog, which was the same one she was bred to in her first litter I think.
