Big Hog Got My Feeder

[splitfinger]

Looks like a big hog destroyed my feeder over the weekend. Pushed the control box around and everything inside was gone. Bear maybe (I hope not)???

might be raccoons. Bastages can cause a lot of damage.....

That's what varmint cages are for

Upgrade them feeder legs while your at it or he will have the entire feeder on the ground. Also put in a metal funnel. G-Luck

I'd bet anything coons did that.

Coons recently did this to one of ours. Caught em on camera. They like to hang upside down from the box. They end up pulling the covers open if not bolted shut and then get caught up in the wiring trying to climb and hang on it.

Seems like a good amount of damage to the control box. How high is the control box off the ground? Hate coons with a passion, might want to get a game camera to see whose doing the dirty work.

If you don't put hog panel under that skid feeder and anchor it down, the hogs will flip it. At lease they did mine and my son's.

Never seen coons be able to bend the mounts for the motor box so it was more then likely a hog like you said unless you have cows or some other big animal to push against it. Easiest solution is to get longer legs so the pigs can't reach it. Coons have opened my motor boxes before so that is why mine have a small bolt through the hole to keep them from opening them and trashing everything inside.

Get some longer legs and anchor them down with something short t post and wire legs to them. Have ours like this and no problems with hogs turning them over

We had some "hogs" do this to several of our feeders once. Checked cams and the "hogs" had two legs and leased the property next door

That looks really solid! Except for that slide lock. Coons will figure that out quick and spin all your corn on the ground. Dont ask how I know
