Wild hogs are a big problem in my state. My 86 year old grandpa owns some land and has asked me to try and remove them (or at least some) from the property, since they outcompete the local wildlife.

I know I can buy a welded steel-frame trap but there's no challenge in that. I was wondering if /diy/ had any ideas on this. My main limitations for this project are say, a $200 budget and a lack of welding equipment.

>Portability is not required
>All-weather and high UV tolerance
>Spring-loaded or gravity door
>Able to hold 200 pounds of angry muscle and tusks for 6 hours
>Ceiling not mandatory, pigs don't fly yet

I'm thinking that a smaller trap will be more durable, as the hog won't have the ability to build up momentum and break out. On the other hand, a large "pen" with a one-way door could catch several pigs at once.
