I don't consider myself an expert hog hunter, but I do manage to kill about 50 hogs a year. The reason I don't think I'm an expert hog hunter is that I kill all of those from under the same feeder, in the same place. Why mess with what works?

So, that being said, you can take my advice with a grain of salt.

As for the red lens spotlight, I wouldn't waste me time trying that. The hogs can see red light just as easy as white. The don't spook to stationary white lights, red lights, or green light. But they do spook to any "moving" lights. Spend your money on a light set up at the feeder. You don't have to have all that bright a light to see the hogs through your scope/sight once your eyes adjust to the dark. Set your stand up so they won't wind you, make sure you've got some good shooting lanes, and cover your scent. Then just be patient, quiet, and spend some time in the stand. Lot's of time. They're hard to pattern, and they tend to show up at different times of day and night. Mostly night. Sometimes they avoid an area for three or four days, then hit the same area two days in a row.

I use strictly fresh corn. There are times of the year that it don't work, but that's because there's so much natural food that they won't come to feeder no matter what kind of food you put in it. This occurs in the fall when the acorns are falling, and in early spring when the bugs, grubs, and worms are plentiful.

Hope this helps a little. And good luck. I smell sausage in your future!!
