In late July, after getting the Piggie Trap on the Northeast Feeder built, I managed to get a sounder of 12 piggies in one drop. Had one of the little ones slip out under the fence as I was delivering the lead tablets, but even so, the Coyotes were very pleased with the new and enlarged buffet at the drop box.
Since then not one single pig has visited the Northeast Feeder, but we did have a group showing up on the other side of the lake at the North Fence Line Feeder, so I got to work building a new trap there.
Finished installing it yesterday, so I set the trap and waited till dark. Just as expected a sounder of 6 pigs went in without hesitation, so I dropped the gate with my phone and then had to dispatch and drag another half dozen to the drop box this morning.
Because the steel gate is pretty heavy, I use the farm jack to raise it into position and reset the trap. Notice that three of these were those ugly splotched pigs. The coyotes will be singing my praises again tonight.
