Bait them regularly but only set them to catch when you can check them regularly. A hog will die in the hot sun in less than a day without water. Some guys put water in plastic swimming pools in their traps to reduce the stress. They even have trailers built with a ramp to load the trapped hogs into. Some sell them at the livestock market. Others will feed them out on corn for a couple of weeks and then have a hog roast or smoking.

Others just shoot em and feed the coyotes and buzzards. Hogs are a nuisance animal as well as a feral animal that competes for food with deer. Shoot em all and pile em up.
