This guy has been pretty good at staying out of sight when I’m around. He needs to be dealt with.

You need to build a better fence:flipoff2:

Seriously though the best hog trap we had results with was using the panels to form a "6" where they have to squeeze against the fence to get into the inner circle. They'll circle the fence and get funneled into it. Add bait to the inside of the circle near the funnel point. Be sure that there's enough pressure on the funnel point the panel will spring back against the funnel part.

Hard to tell from the pic but you are 80% of the way to having a great trap built.

It used to be fenced completely, but the little ones dug up enough to squeeze under it, and the big ones got big enough to jump over it.

I shot a big one inside the fence and couldn’t lift him over it without dropping a nut, so I had to remove one panel to drag him out, and I’ve just never replaced the panel.

I’ve thought about a trap, but I’m not close enough to leave it active. It’s nearly a 3 hour drive to the property. We do have a small box trap that we’ll leave set while out there, and it’ll catch a couple here and there.

Understood - we had similar problem. We were 2 hrs away but thankfully the neighbor who lives there full time would help us out when we couldn't get to them within ~3 days. You'll also want a tractor w/ FEL to lift them all out after. Best of luck.
 
I hope they start moving, my cams have been dead the last few weeks outside of some squirrels. First rut is 10/24 here.
