Boggy Creek Hog Gates
TO
DATE WE HAVE SOLD: 9|0|5 HOG GATES
Here
is the Hotwood's Hog Gate in action.
Carlton Musgrove from Cullman, Alabama had a good
day when he checked this trap site.
Carlton notes that when using lures the Russian Mix he purchased
from Hotwood's
was the difference when it came to really bringing in the hogs.
The Boggy Creek Eliminator
Designed
with help from State Wildlife Control Services, this light
weight hog trap gate lends a new twist to an already proven design.
Designed to lag into wood posts
or to be used with steel "T" Posts or can be adapted
to any situation you may have.
A trip line attaches to the front
of the door
hanger and then to the rear of the pen. When the hog
hits the line the 3 doors go down. It is nearly impossible
for any hog to get out through the door after it closes.
Shown with doors in upright position.
Olive drab green option.
The
light weight aluminum doors allow even the smallest hog
to get in.
The 3-door design allows
all sizes of hogs to enter after the trip line has been
released and the doors are to the down position. Allowing
one at a time or multiples to enter while eliminating the
chance of other hogs escaping.
The door opening is 34"
tall x 38" wide. Each door is approximately 12"
wide. Allowing you to trap all sizes of hogs. Overall height
is 68".
You will find this
gate to be very user friendly and extremely durable.
This trap
was setup in South East Oklahoma, near Soper. (The wild
hog paradise.)
Shown is the saloon style
gate set up with the ever popular 3 door drop style gate.
These pens were
12' x 12' x 5' tall. Made from heavy hog panel gates
and designed to work with our all aluminum hog gates.
Day
one we went to the site where the hogs have been seen regularly,
set up our pens and used shelled corn for bait.
After
setting up the pens with the gates side by side we tossed
the corn very loosely around inside the pen as shown in
the pictures.
We
used tie cables to the back of the pen that we found after
our first catch we should have used a stake in the back
of the pen instead of tying to the panel as the first hogs
trapped released the second door on the other pen from hitting
the gates and tripping the cable to the pen beside them.
This would not be a problem if you use stakes in the back
of the pen or did not have the pens side by side as we did.

Hotwood's Hog Gates featured

posted by the Mississippi State University,
Department of Wildlife
****************************
"The gates were a great success as we caught six pigs
the first night. The biggest hog would have weighed in the
180 to 200 lb. area and really seemed to put the pen to
the test."
"After having at least 7 hogs at one time in the trap
each
of the past 4 nights, I was a little disappointed to have
only
trapped this one sow. The good news is she was pregnant
with 3 or 4 more. I couldn’t get her to hold still near
the
Boggy Creek Eliminator, but this photo didn’t come out too
bad.
She weighed in at 93 pounds, field dressed this morning.
Looks like we will have another good bunch of
sausage and pork chops." ~ David
Boggy Creek Saloon
Style
Doors
are held open by cable rod attached to rear of pen. As soon
as the hogs hit the cable the doors go shut.
The Saloon Style Hog Gate - now without the center bar
for a more open feeling for the hog when entering the pen.
The opening through the doors is 36" wide by 37 1/2"
inches high.
Singles
or multiples can enter as they want through the spring loaded
saloon doors.
This
unit breaks down for UPS shipping. It also can break down
for storage or ease of hauling.
All
aluminum, easy to handle as shown in picture. Weighs less
than 55lbs.
Watch Phil setup the Boggy Creek Eliminator Trap:
The easy to handle light
weight aluminum gate held up with no problem what so ever.
We are very confident you will be 100% satisfied
with our Hog gates as have found through our testing.
One of our customers
in Pauline, SC used cattle panels from local supplier
and welded heavy hog panels on the inside of cattle
panel. This makes for a very easy to haul set up and
catch wild pigs.
Email
from one of our customers:
I'm
really looking forward to receiving my Boggy Creek Eliminator.
I have had so many problems with hogs destroying my landscaping
in my yard. Here are a handful of photos that were all
taken on the same day in by my Stealth Cam. In the next
few photos, you will see what the hogs did in one night
to my yard. Unfortunately, I'm trying to sell this house
and I'm presently not living there. My only hope is to
capture this herd of hogs or to fence my yard.
In
this picture, with the deer, you can see that
my grass is in fairly good shape. I had
already repaired it a couple of times from hog damage,
but it looks fine.
The
first hog shows up in the camera at
about half past midnight.
Less
than an hour later, the whole family arrives and
decides to feast in my zoysia grass. I know
I have some grubs, but I never figured it was
enough to feed this many hogs.
Three
hours later, you can see the damage they
have done. It took hours to repair this and cost me
over $500 in labor and replacing landscaping. You
can see that I left lights on in the house, on the
porch and there is a huge floodlight on the
pole next to the house.
I
built this hog pen to the specifications I found
on your web site and per the advice that you gave me.
I used heavy duty utility panels
5 ft. high and 16 ft. wide with 4"x4" squares.
I'm anxious to get my Boggy Creek Eliminator
added to capture these pests.
This
sow was just under 200 pounds on the ground. Her pork
chops were very tasty and the sausage turned out excellent.

These rolls are very convienent to keep in your truck around
the farm or in the shop.
Easy to handle and store than the old 36" rolls we all

# 9 support wire we use in our trapping video.
This wire is what we use to support all of our snares.
The small roll is so handy when working in the terrain most
problem animals live in.
Our customers have been asking for this and here it is.

Here is what
can happen on the edge of town in a new subdivision with the
help of our 4 legged plows that we want to help you control.
Manufactured
completely from aluminum, the Boggy Creek Eliminator and Boggy
Creek Saloon Style gates are easy to lift and carry.
After
working with various State agencies, we found standard steel
hog trapswere just too heavy and difficult to move. Therefore,
we built these gates entirely out of aluminum to make them very
easy to install and move.
Phil
and Dr Steve White have used four 5 foot x 16 foot
cattle panels to form a round pen. When not using
a top to the pen, always make sure your pen is round
so the hogs can’t pile up in the corner and escape.
T-posts are installed every 4’.
Phil
attaching the trip cable to the rooter gate trip bar.
Above
Phil is checking the trip cable to make sure
everything is working smooth.
Time
to scatter corn from 4' in front of the trap and in
through the doorway. A pair of holes 2' deep are dug
and filled with corn under the rooter cable trip wire.
The
doors will be wired open until the hogs are hitting
the bait nightly and are comfortable with going
into the trap. We want as many hogs in the trap
the first time as possible.
Phil is shown above wiring the rooter gate to the
t-post
in four places with number 9 wire.
Phil
is adding additional corn bait leading in
through the gate door.
Lastly, Phil is pouring
some black gold on a dead log
to finish off a pen set.
We will drive post every 4’ around the
pen and this hog pen is ready to go.
Available
in two colors.

Black
Gold Wild Boar Attractant
Black
Gold is an environmentally safe wild
boar scent attractant. It is designed to be
used as a rub and is best when applied to the
side of a tree or post or when poured on the
edge of a recently used wallow. Both hunters
and trappers alike have had great success bringing
in boars with Black Gold!
What makes
Black Gold stand apart from other boar attractants
is that it contains no salt. Hogs do not sweat
and therefore cannot handle salt. Most other
hog attractants have salt listed as their first
ingredient.
As a scent
attractant or rub, Black Gold can be used in
most states that forbid baiting because boars
are attracted to the strong scent and want to
rub and roll in the pungent odor. Always check
local and state game laws before using any attractant.
"Hungry!"
"Last
night I put more
Black Gold out and the pigs
where there at 8:00 pm."
"Our
slump was ended;
Black Gold brought the
'pork chops' across the threshold."
"Good
to the last drop!"
"I
have been using Black Gold as an attractor and
hog in heat on the string across the door to
the trap to keep deer out, seems like this is
attracting bigger boars."

Other Popular Boar Attractants:
