Have you seen this? Normally the gate drops only. Many ways but what seems normal in my experience, guys set up a trap with multiple entry/exists with food inside. Over time they reduce to one entry with a gate that has a trip wire or more commonly these days a camera with remote control gate release. Sometimes people use wire mesh panels overlapping to create a gate that pigs can push through one way only too.
We just had a massive boom where I am. Pigs foraging within 10m of the house (normally they would never be within 100m) and moving further into our valley than we'd ever seen before.
- mod 5y agoA sibling comment to yours included a link to a youtube video demonstrating exactly what I was talking about. They talk pretty extensively about different types of traps and their effectiveness during what seems like fairly extensive research.
