To the op, hogs r very smart, creature of habits and nocturnals at most of the time.
You gotta outsmart em! Like Native Texan say, the best way is t.c. To give you an intel on its activities and patterns.
You can't just go and set up everything, thinking that youve got it made.
Hogs will pattern you quick. So, try to pattern em, be patient, find sweet spot, I can almost guarantee you itll be down by the creek or near it.
When you have em down like u know back of your hand. Its time to go for the kill.
It took almost three months before they start frequent the feeder I set up for first time near the creek bottoms.
Research and development on your own on what works and what doesn't for your hogs in the area and youll reap what you sow!

If you have that much rooting...then you have lots of hogs...more than a dozen. I have 40-50 hogs or more under my feeders at one time and don't have the rooting that u do.
Hogs are never gonna be caught during daylight hours in the wide open pastures. Its either gonna be ambush them at night or make it thicker for them. Just like deer they prefer thicker cover during daylight.

Thanks for the replies guys....
and sorry not getting back soon enough. As for the help, I dont mind, only thing is, as you see I have a ranch. Im very selective on who I bring and what I do on the property. With being said I have 3 other hunters helping me out as of right now (in laws). They pay for the up keep on the property and we hunt together. It can get quite hectic and clutter very easily.
This is my Grandfathers land (which is being handed down to me) and he, well let just say, is picky.
I really do thank yall for the replies and would like to continue hearing them. I am heading out there in 2wks to check cameras, restock feeders and possibly move them.
Hopefully i wil have pics to post

but since, have not...I have come to the conclusion they are coming out between midnight and 5am

This got me thinking, this is a zoomed in spot I did not point out on the early pics. This is where they have completely rooted up the property. Once again, everything in brown is rooting and green is the game trails...these arent the most recent rooting areas. They frequent the creek areas.
Should I stick to the creek areas?

They feel more comfortable in the cover near creek because thats their exit route. They are skittish out in the open.
You said your family saw them between 8-11 A.M. and they made the shot at em? If so, they just patterned yall, and went nocturnal!
Always remember this, they are very crafty and smart animal! All you gotta do is to outsmart and study em hard and know their feeding time which I can almost guarantee you, 9 P.M.-6 A.M. My hogs are like that, only few times, Ive seen them out in evenings is a young hogs who may have lost its mother or father that roams without much of education they get from its parents or never pressured during that hours and they slip up and make the mistakes until I shoot im up before they learn from it.
Be prepared to track em if you are using bow. Bring your hogkiller sidearm, not puny 9mm with hollow point if you are tracking at night. You need a knockdown power sidearm. In between eyes, take no chances.
Hog hunting is fun but also dangerous. Know what ya doing and bring all you need with you to be prepared.
I am rooting for your success! Post up LDP! :thumbup:
Good luck, brother!
Another not so secret sauce, use jello mix with sugar, watermelon or strawberry flavor and bud light mixed in 5 gal bucket w corn! Spread em out near creek where the wallows are. They may come quick or they may study it a while before eating it. Put t.c. Over it as well.
