I went through a phase where I was recommended a bunch of boar traps on youtube. There is one called "the pig brig" that is like a soft net where they can go in under the net but not get out. It's sad they all get trapped and then shot but sounds like necessary because they destroy land and native species. It's sad watching the pigs panic and run around trying to escape once they realize they are trapped :(

You also have to try and catch the whole herd at once as if any escape they are smart enough to never be tricked by the same trap twice.
