Description
The Root Door design has a double gate that is hinged from the top of the trap. This trap can be used two different ways. You can set the gates to fall once the trip line is triggered. The second option is closing both gates and allowing the hogs to root under the gate which is the natural way for a hog to eat. The Root Door is also designed to trap multiple hogs at once. The Root Door model is also known as the Root Gate model.
The 5 piece trap design allows a single person to set up the trap site. The trap is available with an optional powder coat finish to help withstand abuse from the weather and the wear and tear of trapping hogs. The multi-piece design reduces the amount of human traffic while setting up the trap, a great advantage when trapping wild hogs. This lowers the amount of human odor in the area which can keep the hogs away. Another advantage of the multi-piece design is the ability to get the traps into a remote area. Each piece can easily be carried in to an area then assembled. This design allows you to get the traps where the hogs are.
The trap does not have a wire bottom. The natural ground floor will prevent the hogs from being skittish while they are enter the trap.
