If she's comin in to the feeder to eat the corn, try stoppin the feeder and keep the corn in the trap.  Had it work sometimes and sometimes not...worth a try anyway

Hey dont know what kinda trap you have if it is portable when I have that problem I stand my traps up put a rod from the trap to the ground then a wire across the trap close to one end tie a wire then from your wire on your trap to the rod and bait all around the wire that runs across the trap. Make sure you set the trap where then wind wont blow it down and the hog can trip it. I wouldn't turn my feeder off but I might only feed just for a sec or so. If she is getting used to the trap being there and your turn the feeder off then she might look other places to feed but if you give her a little bit and then she is not ready to stop eating. If you have any questions let me know I will try to explain better.

Place a trap underneath the feeder, and put a 5 gallon bucket around spinner to keep corn from slinging, so that it will drop straight down into trap.
The feeder is what is bringing her in, so use it. If she wants corn, and the only corn available is inside the trap, problem solved.

Or build a pen trap around the feeder, if you have enough room.
