New Hog Hunting Spot

[DRT]

If you want to turn that into a real hot spot get an old piece of carpet, wire it around a tree and soak it with diesel regular.

I guess they'll rub it? Kinda like how they like creosote poles? I may try that...

[DRT]

Yeah they will.

Constant food = constant pigs
Just don't over pressure it and they will keep coming back on a regular basis.

That's what I'm counting on. I have this setup ready for a south wind and another setup for an east/north wind. Everybody else on the lease has pretty much pulled out and won't really be feeding or coming back until mid August or so. It should be pretty good hunting in the spring and summer as long as I keep them fed.

Pouring out a bag every now and then won't keep them coming back steady. They will eat it all and then come back and check it periodically. I keep my feeders full and they go off twice a day so that no matter when they come by there is always corn on the ground. When I get serious about hunting I'll throw 3-4 times a day. About march thru August I can pretty much kill a hog at will.

I see pulled pork in your future.

My FIL has a feeder about 200 yards up the hill from this spot. It's empty, but I may fill it up and keep it going just to keep them around.

this reminds me.. I need to set up a couple hog spots! I do wonder how many different groups of hogs are at my place in AR. I was debating on trying to build a couple hog feeders out of barrels that they'll roll and get the corn out periodically, or use some pvc I already have.

I am excited about the possibilities this year! lol

The barrels and pvc feeders work pretty well but a good sized herd of hogs can empty one of those out in one or two nights. So I don't know that I'd use one of those if you're not gonna be able to keep it filled often as it needs.

Thanks for the incite! I wont be going up there but every couple of weeks, unless they get very consistent, then i'll be there as much as possible! haha

Fewer holes means it is harder and takes longer to get all the corn out.

I just got back from dumping out a bucket of soured corn and hanging the camera. I'll check it in a week or so and see what's showing up. When I go back I'll get the feeder going too just to keep them around. I took corn for it today, but of course the battery was dead.

good luck !

[DRT]

Always take a spare battery.
