You can easily build your own live trap...takes no time, with basic tools, maybe 1/2hr....I'm sure theres all sorts of youtube vids out there nowadays.....
We used to make them out of about any old junk laying around....even just some 1x12 scrap siding and string for a trigger..our own thought up design, its not hard at all to figure out....We would use an apple for bait for chucks and rabbits etc...had it set out back by the garden and the daughter would look out the window first thing to see if the door was down...run out there to see what we caught! It was fun and educational!
It would be fun to do if you have a kid involved so they can experience the engineering as well as the capture in something they made!

You must not have a garden. ‘Hogs will use every skill they have, in order to get to those veggies/plants. They’re great climbers and will scale a fence with no problem. Unless your garden is completely enclosed, they will keep coming until they’ve chowed down all your favorites. Get rid of one, another shows up, then another and so on.
My Labrador corners them and then I move in with the hay fork... problem taken care of... took out 5 like that last year.
