Dutch that is exactly why you go take care of them as soon as possible. Once you know you got pigs in the trap you go take care of them right then and there rain or not. Lesson learned.

Wow a lots of barbecue just gone😂😂😂❤❤

Yeah you definitely need a Drop Trap ! That many Hogs will sure feed a lot of Families.

I must confess. I did not think the hogs would fall for that trap. I even made a comment about hogs being smarter than dog and would not fall for it. I was wrong. I salute and congratulate you on your success regardless of the hiccup! 🏁😎

I have friends with 3 of these traps on their place, two with drop doors. Pigs will have no trouble jumping out of those traps, and yes, you need to increase the overall size of your by at least two more panels. We ended up wiring another layer of panels on starting halfway up the first layer so the overall height is closer to 6 foot. The t-posts need to be anchored solidly and spaced not too far apart and the panels need to be wired securely to the posts. You will be surprised that a group of pigs can potentially push out an entire side of the trap once they panic. If you want to keep the smaller pigs from escaping, you need to put a layer of 2" x 4" welded wire fencing or hardward cloth around the entire interrior of the trap. The pigs will eventually get wise to the trap so you either have to move it to a different location or let it rest before rebaiting it once a new group moves in.

Dutch sorry they all got out, cuz it was an amazing catch. I watched a video from someone who is an avid hunter and long time hunting guide. He said each sow can have 10-15 babies every 3 months. That is 3 litters each year at least. That can be a large amount of pigs per Sow per year. THANK YOU for helping your friend to try and get rid of them.😊😊

There's your food hogs, forget about feeding and nurturing

hey Dutch cut the wire off the end panel and then bend hook in the vertical wire to catch the door panel to prevent them from pushing it all the way open

The bigger the trap the better and easier to catch and hold them but usually if they know they are caught and they get out the harder it is to get them to go back in Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

We gone! "thanks for the corn!" lol 🐖

Nice little trap idea, needs some reinforcing though, once they get their nose under the rest of their body usually follows. They are pretty smart at figuring out the weak spots.

When those pigs get in the trap, you got to go get them fast!

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals on the homestead

Nice catch Dutch. What if you put some kind of hook on the stationary end of the cattle panel along with the extra t-posts to catch the panel if they manage to push it out.

At least you found your flaw in your trap early. Fix it and go on. On your 4x8 trap try proping one of the drop gates open and using a trip wire tied to a 2 liter bottle tied to the back of trap. I used a piece of rebar to hold the door open and a string. Bend the rebar to go around the top of cage with a hook to hold the gate open

Having watched Daniel trap at AFH, the pigs use a lot of force when trying to get out.

Check out "Pig Brig" traps. They don't have to be monitored all the time and they can't get out. they are fairly light and easy to transport. I don't think they cost as much as the metal drop gate type. Maybe you can get some of your neighbors to share the cost then you can move them to different properties.

Love watching your videos. Consider strapping the hog feeder to the tree inside their pen. You can keep it up off the ground. God Bless y’all!

Pretty smart hogs... Luv ya: GRAM👵in Tx. 🙏❤

I think you need a few more of those traps in that spot. There was a bunch surrounding that trap back in the woods. Or at least a huge traps. Some of them looks like regular pigs not just those crazy wild mean hogs.

Hi Dutch and Family. Love your videos Oops. Try again since you fixed the trap. Hopefully you'll get lucky and they come back. God bless and love yall ❤❤

I'm thinking you need to put two t post horizontally wired to your gate. This should keep them from bending the wire back.

Sorry you lost the hogs. That was a lot of them in there. Better luck next time. GOD bless y'all.

I watched a channel a few years ago where a guy was trapping hogs and putting the smallest piglets in with his domestic hogs to see if they would adapt. I didn't watch to see how that worked out for him.

❤Hogs are tuff and smart. They can jump out of even the big traps

Good afternoon i love your videos 🥰😍🤗

Sorry you lost all that ham and sausage , Dutch . Trial and error . That how you learn . Good movie .

You should watch a couple of Yawt Yawt hog video’s. Hogs are very good at getting out. I’ve watched big hogs jump and climb up the heavy duty hog traps he uses.

That’s a good looking trap! 😊

if you would get a length of 1/4" chain start at the stationary end abought 3/4 up and go all around cage end at the start bolt it together and connect each post all the way around, it will block the trap gate from being able to be pushed through. Love you'r channel, keep up the quality shows!!

The top two wires on the spring door side, cut the two horizontal wires loos, loop them around the T-Post hook back on the spring door.

Wow That's allot of pigs! Them little one's look kinda like baby elephants!😂😂The storm prob didn't help matters! Good luck on catching them!! Thanks for sharing! 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖

Daniel caught a mama and about 11 babies

You are on the right track with wanting to make the trap bigger. I saw one on a Homestead Rescue episode and it was about an 18 foot diameter circle so alot of pigs would not feel so clostrophobic, They made theirs so that the door was open until the pigs set off a release that caused to door to snap shut and keep them in.

Smart Hogs😊

You could add chicken wire around it, to keep the little ones from crawling thru.

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for your adventures and your farm and Congratulations

Your trap looks kinda like a swinging gate when one gets in the gate shuts one after another they will follow each other in put a soft patting on the top so it don't slam and scare them just a thought love your videos

Howdy from west Texas!! 🤠

Wow, all those hogs Crazy

glad to hear you plan to get a drop trap. Looks like the only way you are going to be able to catch those hogs. Good luck

Those middle size pigs are perfect to go on a smoker whole during the winter! Sorry they got loose. You will catch more.

Omg go you!! 😊

ive not been subbed to you for very long i wanted to tell you iam enjoying your channel very much, you seem so sincere and honest and how you take care of your animals is really nice

No surrender brother

Well heck fire! You got my hopes up expecting to see a couple of sounders caught in that trap! I'll wait til next time, but you better get down there quicker to get 'em. LOL We used to dig a big hole and burn a fire down to coals then roast one in it. A fellow who lived up in town liked it so much that he dug up an area in his wife's rose garden between the little walks to roast his pigs! LOL She didn't even get mad - just laughed at him. LOL

your new camera is fantastic!

Praying that you and your family are safe

You should have been back some of the wire like little hooks that way when they open it up and go through when they try to come back out it hooks the other gate

Good Evening Dutch and Family

Going to have to move the pen.

Good video and you learned stuff for next time. Thanks.

A stake about a foot above ground height in the middle of that entrance, will prevent the pigs from pushing out the bottom of that entrance, as well as that top tier method.

Interesting stuff thanks. Chris from England

Hello Dutch and family

Great catch

If you put a t- post across the opening between the two t- posts near midway it might help.

You only need one T post on the outside about 2 foot from the entrance like you said so it can’t open hopefully it works again and can recatch them 😊

you need to put the cattle panels on the ground also because they can and will root under and lift the side panels by bending them .

Check with Dan Arms. He has a guy that picks his up and hauls them away live.❤❤❤

I have what was supposed to be a mini pig. Turned out to be just a pot bellied pig. Either way, she is as smart, if not smarter than my dogs. Luckily for me, she hasn't become an escape artist. I've had her in bigger pens than the one she is in now, but she's happy and doesn't want to venture far from her food

Yeah that was a good catch but a hard lesson!

I’m so proud of you!

Oh my gosh !! 😮

WOW! Hogs...

Thanks for sharing.💙🩷🩷🩷🩷

Walker Farm Fam uses a trap like yours and it works. They did have a funny incident when their donkeys got caught in it 😂❤.

Here's a great opportunity for cultural exchange..go around your town and ask if anyone is Mexican!! With this massive metal pan with oil and pork fat they make carnitas!! All those animals would be absolutely delicious.. their techniques for preparing the meat is fairly similar but when you make carnitas you don't need to make as many cuts!!

Hi Dutch, Remember pigs are smart Dutch, this was a cool video of wild pigs I hope you get your trap problems fixed LOL God bless you and until next time take care

hogs can jump higher then you would think and are smart, I would see about adding a top and a rope/bungy cord with a hook to hold the trap together better

Man that sucks they got out hope you catch them all

Hi Sean great catch and then off they go one by one. Hope have better luck next time take care God bless 🙏💕🐗

Throw some special stuff in that trap. Tomatoes, peeled oranges, carrots, and apples.

Wow you did it again thanks♥️

❤❤❤❤❤

That a big haul

Maybe making the ends of the panel curve out will hook on the panel but still allow the hogs to push in. I have watched another channel that traps for hire using the drop panel and they jump over the top so he goes as soon as the camera alerts and he see's the panel drop so that he gets most with few escapees.

Bless it, Dutch!😂 I know your stomach turned over when you pulled up to that trap! So sorry!

Dutch there re cramed in your trap 😅. They got out fast. Good footage.

you should bend the wire ends on your outside wall by your gate. bend the ends around into a hook so when they try to push out through the gate area the gate will hook into the bent hooks and stop it from going any farther, and should help from pushing the gate or the wall down. halifax nova scotia canada

Great video. Love to you all and God bless❤❤❤❤❤

DUTCH I built one YEARS ago, t-post on both sides and they busted the cattle panels welds and got out destroying the PANELS ! Gave up on that trap.

There is a bunch!

An extra T post with a hook facing in (about half way down) so when they push the fence outward it catches the hook but lets the fence go forward to let them in. just thinking out loud. Good luck.

Yes , I have a great deal of them wild hogs

Awe, that's really too bad you lost all of the pigs. Always more around!!!!!

Thats a shame they got out...but you will catch them yet Dutch...stay safe and see you soon

Problem with hogs here too.. they tear up the land & so much more.. if you can catch & eradicate them.. sad but they are invasive yes. Loves your vids Dutch🤗🌹

Have I missed the video with the farrier visit to the ponies? With all your channels to keep track of, lol, and utube has been slacking on bringing up your videos for me. I know, I know, I am not subscribed but that has never stopped you from popping up before. No worries. I just do a search and find your content. Blessings to all on the homestead.

Yep Yawtyawt is the video for you. The Big Pig Trap should work especially since you have cell service.

😠Dang Dutch, there went 2 freezers and a smoker full! They were good eating size to. I'm so sorry, but we know you will prevail 🤠

I would try a cattle fence that has bars real thick for the part they push on and bring it in, some. Make it deep in ground with maybe a 2x4 holding it for extra support. Maybe also camp out near by with a spotlight to get them when they are caught and you can see. Make the part that lets them in easy to get in and snap quickly back. Idk. I was so happy when you set this up because I have been leaving comments to set one of these up like reap what you Seaux channel.also you may have to make it wider so if a whole lot get in there they cant push against each other so hard.

Pretty soon you’re gonna be one big commercial. Cmon dude

You will get there ❤😊

We used to use silo mesh and have the ends pointing inward with a post either side just wide enough for pigs to fit between and push forward a meter or so which opened the ends for them to get in. They can’t get out cause the ends close up after they pass through. They will still try and charge the sides but the other steel posts will hold it strong.

They'll remove your information but they move it to another spot so what's good is that

❤

Maybe try making hooks on the stationary outside panel. That way if they try to push it open the other swing panel would catch on it. Just a suggestion from an old city lady who has always wanted to be a country gal.

Dude that sucks they all got out! WOW that was a bunch!
