    Feeder pen too big?

    I know thats impossible but..... it took up a chunk of foodplot, lol.
    Wasn't planning on a pen but the hogs are killing me! Kinda close to the opener to install a pen, but I think it's big enough to not booger em too bad.

    Hopefully the deer frequent it more often and the hog #s decline.

    Good call. I hog proofed my plots and the deer live in them.
    Buck stay in the pen while hogs circle them.

      Looks perfect. Except your stand looks pretty far away from your kill zone

        I had to put a pen up during the middle of season one year because the hogs moved in and started camping at my spot. I didnt have a feeder set up, and would just go out and put 100# of corn out every few days. I had big deer showing up until the hogs moved in. The hogs just wouldnt leave it alone! The pen went up, the hogs moved on and the bucks were back in 2 or 3 days. They were back that night, but they would just pass by and look at it for a few days.

          Camera makes it look farther.
          24 yds to feeder, 34 to far side of pen.

          But...... your right. I prob need more like a 15 yd shot!

                Personally I think that the larger the pen, the more "at ease" the deer are.

                    I wouldn't want it much smaller than that one.

                      FIFY! You build them much bigger than that for sure.
