Recently we have been asked to explain how a guillotine hog trap door works. You watch us catch them all the time on the TV show or via social media but here is the actual run down on how it works! Essentially there is a trigger or trip wire that releases a door to fall down similar to the accent guillotine that used to decapitate criminals many, many moons ago. The door itself does not cut anything, it just falls and closes the entrance to the trap, making the wild hog a prisoner of war. There are several types of hog traps you can use to trap pigs. You can also trap feral swine using corral traps and several different styles of door systems. Slam doors are another popular door used to trap wild boar, so is a swing door. We will be uploading videos describing all the different door systems we use. Thanks for watching!
