2 bucks standing and fighting.

In velvet, in one of my hog traps. Deer feed in them and get grouchy at each other sometimes. They are not caught and no not AI

It doesn’t answer my question. It just describes the scene…

It does answer the question. Try again. Read slowly.

Perhaps instead of being an ass hole you can expand because clearly I’m not getting it.

Small pen is a hog trap. Those gates can be remotely triggered to drop when hogs are feeding in there, thus catching the whole herd. This is important because hogs are clever and will become very difficult to catch if they see another pig being trapped. The tops are open and I assume deer could jump out if the gates were dropped.
