FAQ
Q; IS THIS SYSTEM HARD TO USE
A; NO ITS NOT BUT YOU DO NEED A LITTLE UPPER BODY STRENGH TO
SET THE TRAP. OTHER THAN THAT ANYONE CAN SET IT. I HAVE BOYS
AS YOUNG AS TEN YEARS OLD USING THEM. I DID HAVE TO REMOVE THE TWO
SPRINGS ON THE WEAK JAW SIDE OF THE TRAP FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO
SET THE TRAP. THE SPRINGS ARE EASY TO REMOVE AND RE-ATTACH ALL
YOU NEED IS A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER.
Q; DOES THE TRAP STILL WORK IF I TAKE OFF TWO SPRINGS.
A; YES IT DOES, THE TRAP IS NOT INTENDED TO HOLD ANYTHING. THE TRAP IS
A DELIVERY DEVICE FOR THE SNARE. THE TRAP HAS A ONE INCH OFF SET
JAW TO ALLOW ANY ANIMAL TO PULL FREE OF THE TRAP. THE TRAP
WILL FALL OFF THE ANIMAL'S LEG, NOT CAUSING ANY INJURY TO THE
BY-CATCH. THE SNARE IS ATTACHED AND HOLDS THE HOGS LEG BEFORE
THE TRAP JAWS EVER TOUCHES THE ANIMAL.
Q; WILL I RECEIVE AN INJURY IF IT SNAPS CLOSED ON MY HAND.
A: IN SHOW DEMOSTRATIONS I PUT MY HAND IN THE TRAP AND SPRING
IT. I WOULD NOT ADVISE ANY ONE TO DO THIS. I DO IT TO SHOW THAT
THE TRAP WILL NOT BREAK YOUR HAND. IF YOU TAKE TWO SPRINGS OFF
THE TRAP IT IS REALLY NOTHING TO IT.
Q; HOW BIG OF A HOG WILL IT HOLD.
A; THE BIGGEST HOG I HAVE CAUGHT AND HELD WAS 307 LBS. I DID TRAP
ANOTHER THAT I THINK WAS ABOUT 340 LB BUT WE DID NOT WEIGH IT. A
LOT OF WHAT THE CABLE AND LOCK WILL HOLD DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH
CHAIN YOU LEAVE OUT AND OTHER FACTORS. I USE INLINE SHOCK
SPRINGS AND CORDS IF I AM TRAPPING IN AN AREA WHERE A REAL BIG
HOG IS LIVING. KEEP YOUR CHAIN THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE SNARE AS
SHORT AS POSSIBLE. A FEW FEET OF CHAIN WILL GIVE THE HOG ENOUGH
ROOM TO GET A HARD RUN AND COULD SNAP THE SMALLER
CABLES. KEEP IT SHORT.
Q; WHAT DAMAGE WILL IT DO TO A DEER IF I TRAP ONE.
A; NONE, THAT’S THE WHOLE IDEAL OF THIS SYSTEM, #1 CATCH AND
HOLD A BIG HOG, #2 RELEASE ANY BY-CATCH UNHARMED. I COULD NOT
SALE A ONE IF IT CAUSED ANY DAMAGE TO A DEER. LET ME SAY HERE
THAT IF YOU HAVE SEEN A DEER THAT HAS BEEN BOXED TRAPPED IT IS
USUALLY A SAD SIGHT.
Q; WHAT BAITS DO YOU USE TO TRAP A HOG.
A; I USE OUR HOG URINE AND CORN, SOME TIME CORN WITH DIESEL FUEL
ON IT. I HAVE SOME CUSTOMERS THAT USE MY HOG URINE INSTEAD OF
BAIT. THE URINE ALONE DOES NOT ATTRACT DEER. ANY GRAIN OR OLD
PRODUCE WILL WORK. HOGS EAT ANYTHING. YOU CAN SET ON PIG TRAILS
AND FENCE CROSSINGS AND NOT USE ANY BAIT.
Q; WHAT OTHER SETS ARE GOOD TO USE ON HOGS.
A; THINK OF THIS STYLE OF HOG TRAPPING LIKE YOU WOULD COYOTE
TRAPPING, JUST ON STEROIDS. USE DIRT HOLE OR URINE POST SETS JUST
MAKE EM BIGGER. YOU CAN REALLY BOX AND GUIDE A HOG. PULL HIM
IN TO WHERE YOU WANT HIM. JUST KEEP THE HUMAN SCENT OUT OF THE
PICTURE AND YOU'RE HALF WAY THERE.
Q; WHY IS HOLD A HAWG SNARE TRAPS BETTER THAN BOX TYPE HOG
TRAPS.
A; THE BOX TRAPS HAVE A PLACE I NEVER SAID THAT THEY DON’T. MY
TRAPS GO IN THE GROUND. THE HOGS CAN’T SEE THEM OR SMELL THEM,
IF YOU SET THEM THE RIGHT WAY. HE DOES NOT KNOW THAY ARE
THERE. THEY ARE IN THE GROUND, LIKE PIG MINES. WITH BOX TRAPS YOU
HAVE TO LET THE HOGS GET USE TO THEM AND THEN YOU MAY TRAP A
HOG OR EVEN SEVERAL. THEN MOST OF THE TIME THAT TRAP WILL BECOME
NON EFFECTIVE IN THAT LOCATION. IF YOU USE A BOX TRAP, YOU WILL
SEE THAT A HOG WILL EAT THE CORN ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE BOX TRAP
BUT HE WILL NOT GO INSIDE AND EAT THAT CORN. SET A HOLD A HAWG
TRAP ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOX TRAP. I HAVE TIED OFF TO THE BOX
TRAP AND TRAP A HOG A NIGHT. IF THE HOGS ARE COMING IN.
