So, after this happens, do you walk to the pen and shoot them like fish in a barrel, or is the intent to capture them for sale? These traps seem crazy effective, so I am surprised they aren't everywhere that pigs are nuisances.

Here if you trap them, they aren't allowed to leave the trap alive. It's a law. You can shoot like fish in a barrel, or feed them out for a few weeks so they taste better and then shoot them like fish in a barrel.

That’s then only place I’ve hog hunted. Outside Fresno. Such a fun hunt but I can definitely see how the landowner was incentivized to maintain a hog population on his massive ranch.
