How Boss Hawg Traps Are Built

Wild hogs are not average pests. They are destructive, intelligent, and strong enough to break a flimsy, light-gauge trap and teach the rest of the sounder how it was done. That is the reason every number below is what it is.

Frame: 1½”, Fourteen Gauge Square Steel Tubing

Fourteen gauge is heavier wall than most traps on the market use. Plenty of bracing is added throughout the frame, because the frame is what takes the load when a penned sounder starts working the corners.

Panels: 6 Gauge Wire

6 gauge wire panels are MIG welded directly to the frame. Not clipped, not wired on. A panel that is fastened rather than welded is the first thing to fail under sustained pressure.

Welding and Finish

All material is MIG welded and all of the tubing is prime coated. Prime coating is what keeps a trap serviceable after a few seasons sitting out in Texas weather instead of rusting at the joints.

Field Tested

Our traps have all been field tested and are proven in continuous loading, retention and durability. Continuous loading matters: a trap that catches once and then has to be reset by hand is doing half the job.

Which Model

Every model uses the same materials. The difference is size and configuration. See the Standard trap, the Big Pen or the Pro Pen.
