Wild pigs are a problem. They tear up land, landscaping, crops, and ruin deer plots. Top Hand offers 2 different styles that feature an open top to prevent deer and other animals from getting trapped and hurt.
The all new "Boar Boss" is for those needing to trap large numbers of hogs/pigs of any size. This trap will need a piece of equipment with forks to be moved around. The trap ships fully assembled- just adjust your cable and start trapping.
The "Texas Swine Saloon" is smaller in size and portable on the back of a trailer, or to roll around a field. Sometimes bigger hogs can climb out, but this trap has a history of trapping 100s of hogs across the USA for many years. This trap comes in 4 pieces and will need to be bolted together once it arrives.
Boar Boss
Introducing Red River Arenas all new hog trap, the “Boar Boss”. The Boar Boss is the only self contained, portable hog trap with the largest trapping area on the market. The trap is oval shaped to put the trip mechanism as far back into the trap as possible to allow more pigs entry before the door is tripped. The trap measures 8' wide, by 6' tall, and 16' long. At 6' tall, large boars cannot climb out of the trap and being 16' long, more hogs will enter the trap before they reach the trigger. The top of the trap features hay spike pockets so that you can easily move the trap around with forks on a tractor or skid steer. The pig trap is constructed from 1-1/4" square tubing and 4x4 6 ga wire. This trap is built tough and designed to be used for many years!
Ease of Transport and Usage: Our feral hog, or wild pig traps, are designed to be quickly and easily transported and set-up by a single person. After assembly, (only 8 bolts needed) the entire portable hog trap can be easily turned on its side and rolled into and out of any average pick-up or trailer. More importantly, the entire trap can be readily rolled any distance directly on the ground to the desired catch location! Relocating the hog snare trap to a new location is equally as simple and fast. This key pig trap design innovation renders all other competitor pig corral plans virtually obsolete. Less expended time and less labor translates to money saved!
Texas Swine Saloon Hog Trap Plans and Assembly Instructions
Large Capacity: Our large 9 1/2' diameter feral hog and wild pig traps for sale provide approximately 74 sq. ft. of interior space, holding up to 25 average sized animals per usage. More capacity translates to fewer animals causing damage and more money saved!
Spring Loaded "Saloon" Style Doors: Our research has shown other hog trap door types (such as rooter, dead fall, single side swing, etc..) often allow already trapped animals to escape as new arrivals enter the pig trap. "Saloon" style doors are the only type that will prevent this from happening. Our feral hog and wild pig traps utilize side-by-side "saloon" style double doors with triangular "push panels" installed on both inside corners. The "push panels" are designed to make it very easy for new arrivals to push the doors open and enter the trap even after the doors have been triggered closed. The entire hog trap gate system is operated by a cable controlled, scissor style release mechanism (Patent Pending) to ensure a rapid and failure-proof triggering of the doors when activated by animals initially entering the trap.Improved door style increases efficiency, productivity and cost effectiveness!
4" x 4" Welded Wire Utility Panels: Texas Swine Saloon traps incorporate 4" x 4" welded wire utility panels to ensure a strong and escape proof barrier. The small spacing of our feral hog and wild pig traps prevents even the smallest piglets from escaping.
Our Hog Trap Design vs Large Panel Traps: The most often used hog trapping alternative (to square traps) is a "home-made" panel trap which consists of multiple stock panels, T-posts and various types of entry gates wired together in a large round or teardrop shape. While this system is an improvement to other hog traps, it does still require extensive time, labor and material costs. In order to be effective, all feral hog and wild pig trapping systems require frequent relocating. This means extensive time, energy and resources must be invested. By frequently relocating the trap to high activity areas around your property, you can effectively control and even eliminate hog populations in many cases! The time, labor and expense involved in building and maintaining large "home-made" feral hog and wild pig traps makes them much less practical and far more labor intensive, time consuming and costly.
