Feral Sow (Roseanne Barr???)

Captured & shot 6 Feb, 2011. I've been trying to trap these now for a couple months & this is the first one I've caught. Looks a lot like Roseanne albeit not as hairy.

This is a figure 6 (figure 9) trap with a 2' section of fence used as a swing-door. The door isn't reinforced and she almost broke through it. I reconfigured it afterwords so it'll be stronger. I should have videoed her while still alive to show how powerful and determined these animals are. I assumed that since the trap is essentially a circle (inside) that a hog would just run in circles, but she'd back up to one side, run full-speed at the other, jump, and try to crash her way out.
