Building a new hog trap

[Sniper-T]

I am thinking that a determined hog would make short work of that!

No way, it is 1 inch steel around the top and the door, and the wire is hog panel. I built 3 all with the same material and never had a hog tear it up. Still got the door and the wire on top and bottom.

Showing my stupidity here, but how does it work? Do you get inside and call here piggy piggy piggy, and then hit him over the head with a big stick when he sticks his head in the hole?

The door is not on yet, but it is a root style door. Basically this is a very simple trap, use a stick to prop the door open, put some kind of food inside the trap. When the pig pushes through the door the stick holding the door open falls down. When the hog walks through the door falls down behind them. My buddy has been using this design for about 5 years now and it works great.
