I've used them. Work great. As others have said, once they find them, they'll flat wear a hole in the ground till every last kernal is out. Adding rocks helps. the rattle inside, keeps them interested. Only other advice i'd give is to go with a very strong eye bolt in the end you attach the chain/cable too. and use lock washers when you tighten it in. otherwise, over time, it comes out.

Got this tie down idea from watching one of the Alaska shows. He'd use these to tie down his pups. Drive a 1.5 or 1.75" pipe ~3' into the ground and drop this stake into it. Fasten your pig pipe and its a done deal. Simple as dropping it in. Only concern is the size of the hole to fasten your chain/cable. Easy fix though.
Thoughts?

I put an arrow in this guy while he was pushing the drum around. Unfortunately, I didn't find him until the next week when I was looking for another hog I shot at the feeder. By then, there wasn't much meat left.
I am pretty new to hunting, and I've learned a lot of things the hard way. I tried buying lower weight rated quick links, swivels, chains all to save money, but the hogs definitely stress tested the materials and showed me that design mattered and materials mattered.

I use the drain field pipe. It already has the holes in it. I just cap both ends with an eye bolt on one end for anchoring it. Works great. You can fill them with corn, wrap with plastic wrap and carry them in to some hard to get to places. Stake them, remove the plastic and your good to go in a day or two usually.
