How many of you are using some sort of feeder lights?  Looking at different options for setting up some on my feeder.  My buddy has some of the round kill lights from elusive wildlife that work pretty good for hogs that are under the feeder.  But my feeder throws corn pretty far so need something that lights up more area around the feeder.  I'm thinking of using a kill light under the feeder and making my own green light to mount on a pole with a light that Walmart sells.

You can use duck tape and a old feed sack and make a skirt to keep the feed under the feeder. I’ve heard that feed light’s drain batteries.

I plan on using solar to keep them running.  Thanks for the idea of the feed sack though.

I wouldnt buy another from Elusive Wildlife. Mine died in under 3 months. Wont power on anymore. Internal battery.

Another brand may work but they're probably all Chinese at that price point.

I use HF motion activated lights from harbor freight. I put green film over the lens. They're not super bright but it allows me to hunt at night. They're around $20 each when on sale.

The round Moultrie green lights tied to T posts positioned at 3, 6 & 9 o’clock around the feeder in relation to my shooting position is what I normally do for shooters who don’t have night vision and are using traditional deer hunting rifles with magnified scopes.  I also have some feeders with those fairly inexpensive solar landscape lights that are stuck into the ground. The hogs get used to them being on and don’t seem to mess with them. Cows on the other hand destroy them.
