How to Build a Guillotine-Style Trap Door for Wild Pigs

There are several types of trap doors available that can be used on wild pig traps. Some work, some don't. This video provides step-by-step instructions for building a very simple, inexpensive, and effective trap door for removing wild pigs.

I just built the door exactly as you showed and it works! Thanks for the detailed info. I have some hogs coming to my feeder and so now time to build the corral trap.

Just finished building this trap door. Great plan, easy to follow and build. Fixing to deploy it. Thanks for sharing this!

Better to design a ONE-WAY-TICKET door, where the pig goes 1 way, cannot return. This way no trigger or monitoring is needed, and NO PANIC is created . Pigs remain calm hence more keep joining in . Just show up at your own comfort.

Do you ever make a wider door for more skittish hogs that are somewhat trap wary? I know with a larger door, any flexing might cause it to pop out if the hogs put too much pressure on it? Suggestions?

This time I will use woodprix instructions to make it myself :)

[mikejustice]

All that work and no instructions on how the rope was attached to the door

[mcneeseremalf]

I made it by myself. I used woodprix scripts for that.

It's "feral pigs, " not "wild [sic] pigs, " dunces! No wild pigs (or boars or hogs) in the New World; all are exotic species. The sooner you start using the correct term, the better.
