 "This has got to be the handiest thing I own.I Bought it on Saturday from Hank in New Braunfels, this picture was taken about 5 hours later. Not a huge hog, but more than I wanted to pick up and toss in the truck by myself. It was simple, I just hoisted it up, then swung into the bed and hit the release. Easiest I have ever picked up a hog, I can tell you that!"

 "You can't tell from photo, but the hoist breaks down right below the crank, so you can actually set it up to point to the side or towards the bed of your pick up if desired. After I loaded the hog, it occurred to me that it would have been even easier to set it up so it hung over the bed, then just crank the hog up over the edge of the tailgate."

"I'm really impressed, I can't say enough good things about the hoist, it is a high quality piece of work. Thanks Hank!"

Hank,

"I have used the hickbuilt tie out at every show and hunt I have been on. They are great. Most convent when you can just drive them in the ground and stake your dog out instead of having too tie it to the trailer or a tree. If I start carrying more dogs I will have to get more. They have been very helpful and I use them all the time.

Thanks again and look forward too some more useful items in the future."

I used to hunt with Hoggin' Hank' on a 2400 acre lease here in Comal County. I always watched him leave the ranch with his trailer loaded with live hogs that he said that he caught on the ranch( Yea right???). Well since no one else was catching very many hogs, maybe 1 or 2 every once in a while , I figured Hank was pulling my leg. He then told me that most of the hogs he trapped were caught from 2 different 6' Box Traps that he had set out . When I asked him how many hogs he could catch in one of those little 6' traps he said he has caught as many as 14 at one time.
 Well I still was not convinced so I asked him if  I could tag along when he checked his traps the next time. After about a week went by he called me up and told me that he had set 1 of his 6' Traps and that he would be checking  in the am. I met him at the gate to the ranch and we headed for the pasture. Hank stopped about 100 yards before the trap because he said there are usually hogs around the trap on the outside if you check the traps early enough. As we walked toward the trap I noticed some black objects around the trap on the outside as well as the entire dern trap full of hogs. I would guess that about 4 or 5 hogs were on the outside and as we approached I counted 11 hogs in that little 6' trap...WOW.. I couldn't believe my eyes. Old Hoggin' was not pulling my leg at all. We went back and got the truck with that hog trailer thing he built and we loaded up 8 hogs. They were 20 to 75 pounds. We did loose 3 of them that got out through the top of the trap. Hoggin' said this was because the little ones were getting up on the rest of the hogs and getting pushed out through the cattle panel. I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own 2 eyes. After we loaded the hogs up I asked Hoggin' if the trap was for sale and he said make me an offer. I started at $250. and we ended up making a deal for $275.00 and I came back later that evening and picked up that little 6' trap. It fit right in the back of my truck with the tailgate closed. I ended up trapping about 8 hogs with that trap after I bought it from Hoggin' at the end of January. I had only trapped 3 hogs total throughout the entire Deer season with my other hog trap. Hoggin' asked me if I had any words to say about all of that hick stuff he builds and I can say with confidence that you definitely get what you pay for and a whole lot more. He said he would attach a picture of all those hogs in that little trap if I told the story so here is the story .Thanks for the trap Hoggin'.

Hey Hank here is the pic of the Trap Front I got from you. IT WORKED!! I caught 15 total.  I did not weigh any of them but there was a good sow, a young boar and 13 shoats.  It looks like all the hogs are from the same family.  I went down Sunday and limed the pen and threw in some leaves and put in some more corn.  While doing that we saw 3 more run through the woods near us.  That was around noon .  They are
there waiting for me.  We will try again this Saturday.  I have a lot more
pics.

Hank built my Dog Box to my requirements and then added in some of his own ideas to create an awesome Dog Box that will last a lifetime. I’ve seen a few different boxes at some of the Hog Baying competitions and my Dog Box is definitely one of the best looking ones that I’ve seen. Thanks again Hank…

I told you that I would send you some photos of our first catch.  Were so proud of ourselves we just can't stand it.  We couldn't have done it without your trap gate.  It worked great!!!!!  We trapped 11 pigs on our first catch.  

 

Thanks,

Hank,
Since my time at the ranch as been limited to short stays I have only set the trap 3 nights: Results: 115#Sow and 30# piglet first night, 100# sow the second night and two 30-40 # piglets 3rd night.  My neighbors are grateful for the good eating and I am starting to put a dent in the hog population.  After this short run I would say that I am extremely pleased with the trap's performance.  Here is a picture for your website..
